Effect of different storage receptacles on the oviposition, development and quantitative loss by the bruchid, Caryedon serratus (Olivier) in stored groundnut.

摘要

Evaluation of different types of bags as receptacles on the oviposition and development of C. serratus on pods of groundnut revealed that gunny bags impregnated with deltamethrin (0.0125%) and alphamethrin [alpha-cypermethrin] (0.0125%) and polythene-coaltar coated gunny bags afforded complete protection up to six months, whereas polythene bags, gunny bags and polythene coated gunny bags were found to provide comparatively less protection recording more amount of per cent weight loss in pods.
