Blackgram is considered to be an ancient crop and cultivated in India since time immemorial. Pulses belong to the sub family Fabaceae. Pulses suffer a great deal of damage during storage due to attack by the pulse beetle Callosobruchus chinenis (Linn.) (Bruchidae;Coleoptera).They are known to cause quantitative and qualitative losses to the stored pulses in India. Even though, infestation begins in the field, serious damage is caused during storage. The grain damage is as high as 69.39 per cent under storage conditions (Singh et al., 2001).

Abstract


Blackgram is considered to be an ancient crop and cultivated in India since time immemorial. Pulses belong to the sub family Fabaceae. Pulses suffer a great deal of damage during storage due to attack by the pulse beetle Callosobruchus chinenis (Linn.) (Bruchidae;Coleoptera).They are known to cause quantitative and qualitative losses to the stored pulses in India. Even though, infestation begins in the field, serious damage is caused during storage. The grain damage is as high as 69.39 per cent under storage conditions (Singh et al., 2001).
