Author(s): Himanshu Singh, Radha Binod Singh and Shivangi Negi
Abstract: Seven seed protectants viz., Emamectin benzoate (Procliam 5 SG) @ 40 mg/kg seed, Spinosad (Tracer 45 SC) @ 3.5 mg/kg seed, Indoxacarb (Avaunt 14.5 SC) @ 13.8 mg/kg seed, Malathion (Malathion 5% Dust)@ 2.5 mg/kg seed, Novaluron (Rimon 10 EC) @ 0.05 ml/kg seed, Nimbecidine (Nimbecidine 0.03% EC) @1.5ml/kg seed and Deltamethrin (Decis 2.8 EC) @ 0.04 ml/kg seedwere assessed for their effectiveness in mung bean variety, IPM 2-3.Minimum per cent weight loss (0.68) with minimum insect infestation (0.33) was observed when the seed treated with Emamectin Benzoate (Procliam 5 SG) @ 40 mg/kg seed followed by Deltamethrin (Decis 2.8 EC) @ 0.04 ml/kg seed and Novaluron (Rimon 10 EC) @ 0.05 ml/kg seedand up to 6 months of storage under ambient condition. The minimum seed moisture was found in Novaluron (Rimon 10 EC) @ 0.05 ml/kg seed with 13.767 per cent followed by Malathion (Malathion 5% Dust) @ 2.5mg/kg seed and Deltamethrin (Decis 2.8 EC) @ 0.04 ml/kg seed. The results showed that seed protectants viz., Emamectin benzoate (Procliam 5SG) @ 40 mg/kg seed followed by Deltamethrin (Decis 2.8 EC) @ 0.04 ml/kg seed and Novaluron (Rimon 10 EC) @ 0.05 ml/kg seedmay be used as suitable seed protectants for storing seed of mung bean under ambient storage condition
