The experiment was carried out under laboratory condition at PRFQAL University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur. The physical and biochemical analysis in relation to incidence of rice weevil, S. oryzae in different split legumes before and after three months of storage revealed that there was significant increase in adult population among the tested split legumes with the highest infestation in field bean dhal subsequently with an increase in weight loss also. With respect to biochemical content there was a significant reduction in fat, fiber, carbohydrates and increase in protein, ash and moisture content.
