Abstract
The study investigated the comparative
efficacy of some botanicals viz., Neem seed kernel powder, Mint leaf
powder, Custard apple seed powder, Neem oil, Castor oil, Karanj oil,
Azadirachtin 10000 ppm are used in the suppression of Callosobruchus
maculatus (F.) damage in stored cowpea seeds. The botanicals were applied
at the rate of 5.0 g/kg seed in case of powders and 5.0 ml/kg seed in case of
oils. The Azadirachtin 10000 ppm was applied at the rate of 1.5 ml/kg seed. The
experiment was laid out in completely randomized design (CRD) of nine treatment
replicated four times. All treatments recorded higher significant mortality
than the experimental control. Out of the all botanicals investigated
azardirachtin was most effective.
