Author(s): AK Menge, KV Naik and GM Golvankar
Abstract: There were seven oils viz., mustard, clove, castor, coconut, sunflower, soybean and sesame each applied at rates of 1 ml and 3 ml per 100 g of kernels as kernel protectants of groundnut. Effect of kernel protectants on fecundity revealed that no adult emergence was found on groundnut kernels treated with clove oil each at 1 ml and 3 ml per 100 g of kernels, while in case of the treatments viz., castor oil, coconut oil and sesame oil each at 3 ml per 100 g of kernels very few male moths were emerged. Among the remaining treatments, castor oil (134.67 eggs) was found most effective treatment in preventing egg laying by C. cephalonica at 3 ml per 100 g of kernels. In castor oil treatment at 1 ml per 100 g of kernels found most promising in delaying the development (58.40 days) of C. cephalonica.
