Studies on evaluation of different botanicals against Angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella Olivier in stored paddy

Amit Raj, RB Singh, Ramveer, Sanjeev Kumar and Anuj Shakya

The effectiveness of eight seed protectants namely: deltamethrin @ 1 ppm (0.04 ml/kg seed), Spinosad @ 2 ppm (4.40 mg/kg seed), Emamectin benzoate @ 2 ppm (40.0 mg/kg seed), Lantana leaf powder @ 10.0 g/kg seed, Nirgundi leaf powder @ 10.0 g/kg seed, Neem seed kernel powder @ 5.0 g/kg seed and Citronella leaf powder @ 10.0 g/kg seed were evaluated against S. cerealella in paddy with 3 replications under CRD.
The emamectin benzoate @ 2 ppm (40.0 mg/ kg seed) was found best among tested seed protectants followed by nirgundi leaf powder 10.0 g and spinosad@ 2 ppm (4.40 mg/kg) to manage the seed damage by S. cerealella and also maintain the seed quality. However, neem seed kernel powder, and lantana leaf powder were also found effective and were at par with spinosad @ 2 ppm (4.40 mg/kg seed).
