“…Talc recorded inefficient results for the protection of the stored bean seeds against bean weevil Acanthoscelides obtectus, the population of the pest recovering after 50 days from treatment, the same as in control variant by. On the other hand, Yadav and Tiwari (2017) found that the inert materials such as talc powder was effective against adult emergence, reduced damage and weight loss of Sitophilus oryzae and Rhyzopertha dominica on treated wheat grains.…”

Cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is one of the most dangerous insect pests in field and storage. It causes a high damage to the legumes by decreased dietary values, germination and seed weights. Using synthetic insecticides for controlling stored grain pests have a lot of problems for humans and environment. Therefore, the mixing seeds laboratory experiments were conducted to study the efficacy of certain alternative safety compounds against C. maculatus such as Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, ascorbic acid, boric acid, talc powder and kaolin compared with an organophosphorus nervous insecticide, malathion 1% dust, that recommended in Egypt for controlling stored grain pests. The present results showed that the malathion was the highest toxicity effect against cowpea beetle adults with LC 50(3.89 ppm) after 3-day post treatment. However, the boric acid was the lowest toxicity effect with LC50 (72855 ppm) after 6 days post treatment. The other tested materials showed moderate effects. These results indicate that malathion is still having high effect against cowpea beetle. The toxicity of bio-insecticides (M. anisopliae and B. bassiana) after 6days were more than toxicity malathion 1%dust after 1day.Wheraes, the toxicity of bio-insecticides (M. anisopliae and B. bassiana) increased with increase of period of exposure from 2 to 6 days high rates about 28 times, 31 times, respectively. The findings showed that the tested compounds have a promising insecticidal activity against C. maculatus and can be used as possible alternatives to synthetic chemical insecticides such as malathion for the control of stored product insects.

“…Here the inert material treatment of saw dust reported the highest adult emergence of T. castaneum was 40.67 per cent, followed by the next treatments are paddy straw (31.67%) and paddy husk ash (25.33%). Yadav and Tiwari (2017) reported that minimum adult emergence in ash powder, sand and cow dung ash was 2.00, 2.33 and 8.33 per cent. By way of usual the untreated control noticed the maximum number of adult emergences 76 per cent after 90 DAT and the least number of adult emergences was observed in the treatment of boric acid (12.67%).…”

Background: Wheat is the major cereal crop occupying an eminent place in economy of our country. About 10-15% wheat is lost annually due to ravages of stored grains pests during storage. The principal stored grain pest of wheat is red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) which is a cosmopolitan and most serious pest. Methods: The present investigation was carried out in the Entomology Laboratory during 2020-2021, College of Agriculture, Central Agricultural University, Imphal to investigate eco-friendly management of rust red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum on wheat grains by using different inert materials viz., paddy straw, paddy husk ash, cow dung ash, coal ash, sand dust, saw dust, boric acid and one untreated control with the dose of 1.5 gm/100 gm of wheat grains. Result: The results showed that the boric acid exhibited 100 per cent adult mortality of T. castaneum within 5 days after treatment. Afterwards the next best treatment was cow dung ash, coal ash shows the very effective in treatment in the adult emergence and grain weight loss. Whereas, saw dust shows the least effective treatment in the controlling adult emergence.

The results showed that neem leaf powder was the most effective treatment with a record of the highest mean adult mortality of 67.22 per cent and also exhibited the lowest weight loss of 0.67 per cent after 60 days of treatment. It was followed by powders of Eucalyptus (58.89% & 0.87%) and Tulsi (51.11% & 0.80%). The least effectiveness of turmeric rhizome powder against the pest recording minimum adult mortality and maximum weight loss of 30.56% and 1.07% per cent respectively was noticed control against adult mortality (30.56 %), grain weight loss and adult emergence owing to T. castaneum. As a result, 1.5 g/100 g of grains of neem leaf powder can be recommended as a safe control method against T. castaneum in stored wheat. The overall mean adult mortality of T. castaneum in fenvalerate was 72.78 per cent. When it came to treating T. castneum with some inert materials, boric acid treatment was the most effective showed the 100 percent adult mortality, followed by coal ash (71.67 %) and cow dung ash (63.33 %) after 5 days of storage. There was minimum grain weight loss and least adult emergence was recorded in the treatment of coal ash and cow dung ash. Whereas sawdust resulted in the least effective treatment with mean adult mortality of (35.56 %), there was maximum adult emergence seen.
