Mamta Arya, Ruchira Tiwari
Abstract :
The laboratory experiments have been conducted to study the efficacy of some indigenous bioproducts against Sitophilus oryzae ( L.) on wheat by undertaking various parameters viz. adult mortality adult emergence percent seed damage, per cent weight loss , per cent germination, vigour index and significance of viability after six months of storage.Among different indigenous bio products evaluated neem leaf powder, jatropha seed powder , mustard oil, and cow dung ash powder @ 2% were found to be superior with no adult emergence, weight loss and damage to the wheat seeds with higher adult mortality, seed germination, vigour index and significance of viability in comparison to other treatments and control .Mustard oil reduced the seed germination with adverse effect on quality parameters after 60 and 180 days of storage. Finally, it was concluded that the indigenous bio products were highly effective for the management of S. oryzae as a seed protectants.
