Study of Mortality and Repellency of Rice Weevil Sitophilus oryzae L. on Wheat Seeds during Storage
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Application of 5 g Karanj leaf powder (Pongamia pinnata) per kg of seeds of wheat was found most effective and recorded 13.33 per cent mortality of rice weevil at 21 days after inoculation. However, Pongamia pinnata leaf powder water extract were found most effective and significantly superior treatment as repellent for the rice weevil and recorded 76.00 - 84.33 per cent repellency which was found to be effective seed protectant in suppressing the Sitophilus oryzae L. damage in wheat.
