Abstract
The rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the second most important crop in
the world after wheat. It is a staple food in India, and is continually
infested by several insect pests during the period of storage. Pest is an
insect or animal that destroys plants, food etc and the pest of rice is known
as rice weevils. The scientific name of rice weevil is termed as Sitophilus
oryzae. Chemical pesticides are extensively used in pest management. Using
these pesticides increasingly from year to year, thus leading to environmental
pollution. Insects gain resistance against these chemical pesticides, &
lead to turn pesticides to be not efficient. Hence in this research study some
of the home ingredients such as Turmeric, Garlic, Ginger and Bay leaf are used
as home ingredients to control the loss of rice weevil. Thus, the objectives of
the study are that natural methods can be a more environmentally friendly
alternative to synthetic pesticides.
