The experiment was conducted at Seed Technology Research Unit, Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri, Maharashtra during 2009 to 2012 on chickpea with an objective to ascertain new insecticidal chemical against Callosobruchus chinensis, a major pests of stored chickpea seed. The observation on germination and insect infestation were recorded at interval of three months of storage period. Among different insecticides, deltamethrin 2.8 EC @ 0.04 ml/kg or lufenuron 5 EC @ 0.1 ml/kg or emamectin benzoate 5SG @ 40 mg/kg of seed were found equally effective for control of stored grain pest of chickpea and maintained the chickpea seed germination above minimum seed certification standard (85%) upto 9 months of storage.
