“…Bruchids are a minor pest in the field, where they lay eggs on seeds before harvest and subsequently become serious pests in storage, causing both quantitative and qualitative losses (Casewell, 1961;German et al, 1987). They are among the most damaging pests of legume seeds, including mung beans, causing extensive grain and seed quality losses (Gahukar and Reddy, 2018;Stathers et al, 2020). Storing seeds in polythene bags or aluminum foil packets reduced pulse beetle infestation of mung beans (Singh, 1995).…”

“…Among the insect pests, bruchids (Callosobruchus spp. Coleoptera, Bruchidae) are major insects causing severe damage to seeds in storage conditions [8][9][10]. The two most common species infecting mungbean seeds are Callosobruchus chinensis (L.) and Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) [11].…”

Mungbean (Vigna radiata) is an important short-season legume widely cultivated in Asia, particularly India. It is highly susceptible to bruchids and developing bruchid resistance is an important goal in mungbean breeding programs. In the present study, 52 mungbean genotypes were evaluated for bruchid resistance based on the “no-choice test” and identified two highly resistant genotypes (V2802BG and V2709) with no adult emergence and seed damage. Further, these two resistant genotypes were crossed with six high-yielding bruchid susceptible cultivars (CO 5, CO 6, CO 7, CO 8, VBN 2, and VBN 3), and 12 independent F1 populations were generated. Of these, one population derived from CO 6 × V2802BG was selected (based on the good combining ability of the parents) and forwarded to later generations to trace the bruchid-resistant lines. A total of 159 F2:3 families were screened for bruchid resistance, and the results showed that seven families were highly resistant, whereas the remainder were resistant to highly susceptible. Further, those seven families were evaluated in F4 and F5 generations. As a result, five highly resistant lines (BSR-GG-1-49-3-1, BSR-GG-1-56-2-2, BSR-GG-1-160-5-3, BSR-GG-1-170-2-4, and BSR-GG-1-198-1-4) with good agronomic performances were identified. The newly developed lines could be tested in multi-location trials and then be utilized as a potential source of genetic material for improving the bruchid resistance in mungbean breeding programs.

“…However, like any other pulse, ricebean seeds are also prone to attack by bruchids in storage. The pulse beetle, Callosobruchus chinensis L. is one of the major economically important pests of pulses causing considerable damage (Park et al, 2003, Duraimurugan et al, 2011, Neog, 2012, Gahukar and Reddy, 2018, Paikaray et al, 2022. The primary infestation starts from field where the infested seeds are harvested and carried to storage resulting in secondary infestation (Rana et al, 2013, Srivastava andSubramanian, 2016).…”

An experiment was conducted during January−June of 2019 and 2020 in the laboratory of the Department of Entomology, School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development, Nagaland University, Medziphema Campus, Dimpaur district, Nagaland, India to evaluate the efficacy of some botanical powders as grain protectants against pulse beetle, Callosobruchus chinensis (L.) on ricebean, Vigna umbellata (Thunb.). The experiment was conducted in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 3 replications. A total of 7 plant materials viz., Azadirachta indica, Piper nigrum, Ocimum tenuiflorum, Eucalyptus globules, Allium sativum, Pongamia pinnata and Litsea citrata were evaluated for their effect on oviposition reduction, adult emergence, infestation and weight loss by C. chinensis. All the plant products were mixed with susceptible ricebean seeds @ 5% w/w, Malathion 5% dust @ 1% w/w was used as standard check and untreated seed was used as control. Among the botanical powder treatments, the highest reduction in oviposition was found in L. citrata followed by A. indica and P. nigrum. The % adult emergence was also lowest in L. citrata treatment (55.23%) compared to the other botanical treatments. L. citrata seed powder also provided effective protection up to 2 months of storage with an infestation of 16.12% and weight loss of 2.40%, respectively followed by P. nigrum seed powder with an infestation of 31.67% and weight loss of 6.93%, respectively. The least effective was found in P. pinnata leaf powder. The findings revealed the potential of L. citrata and P. nigrum as grain protectants against pulse beetle in storage.
