Author(s): MS Singh, Kshetrimayum Manishwari Devi and Tabuiliu Abonmai

Abstract: The Chinese neem, Melia azedarach L. in Meliaceae family is a native tree of Asia and Southern Australia which possess important insecticidal properties. It is also found abundantly in the state of Manipur too and known as ‘‘Seijrak’’ in Manipuri. So an experiment was conducted in the experimental laboratory of Agronomy Department, College of Agriculture, Iroisemba, Central Agricultural University, Imphal in 2017-2019, to study the “Effect of Melia azedarach L. on controlling insect pests on storage of pea seeds (Pisum sativum var Makhyatmubi) in Manipur condition”. It was found that when we mixed the Melia azedarach L. with pea seeds in the ratio 1Kg pea seeds:150g Melia azedarach L. and above, there were no damage of the pea seeds by insect pests but in control where there was no Melia azedarach L., all the seeds were damaged by insect pests.
