Studies on ecofriendly approaches for the management of pulse beetle in chickpea


Author(s): AD Falke, SK Patil and MM Sonkamble

Abstract: The present investigation was conducted to evaluate the different plant based products against pulse beetle (Callosobruchus chinensis Linnaeus) in chickpea in the laboratory of Department of Agricultural Entomology, VNMKV, Parbhani-431 402 (M.S.), India during Kharif 2019-20.
Among eight plant products evaluated, sweet flag rhizome powder @ 5% was significantly found superior in reducing 100 per cent mortality, no seed damage, no seed weight loss with highest seed germination (88.78%) followed by neem seed kernel powder @ 5% with higher adult mortality (88.33%), less seed damage (15.33%), less seed weight loss (4.71%) and higher germination percentage (76.67%) when seed stored for six month. Rest of the treatments viz., karanj seed powder @ 5%, neem leaves powder @ 5%, custard apple leaves powder @ 5% and karanj leaves powder @ 5% aslo showed less bruchid mortality(75.00, 65.00, 53.33, and 46.67%), seed damage (28.67, 42.00, 51.33 and 54%), weight loss (18.67, 20.07, 26.13, and 34.79%) and germination (62.67, 62.00, 58.67, and 53%). The seed treated with turmeric rhizome powder @ 5% was observed less effective in adult mortality (36.67%), seed damage (33%), weight loss (38.48%) and germination (44.67%) followed by tulsi leaves powder @ 5% (51.67, 66.33, 37.82 and 52.00), respectively Whereas, untreated seed was recorded significantly maximum seed damage (83.67%), seed weight loss (47.33%) with no adult mortality and minimum germination (37.00%) when it was stored for six month.
