abstract
Present work deals with the efforts to explore new grain protectants from the plants against Rhyzopertha dominica. Leaf powder of Calotropis procera, Cassia fistula and Langana Cumara and seed powder of Brassica compestris and Linum usitattissimum are used against Rhyzopertha dominica. Among all of leaf powders used Cassia fistula leaf powder proved most toxic to Rhyzopertha dominica. A highly significant mortality percentage was observed in both the treatments with seed powders of Brassica compestris and Linum usitattissimum.
