The effectiveness of three different edible oils - black seed (Nigella sativa), sesame (Sesamum indicum) and soybean (Glycene max) was evaluated for the control of pulse beetle, Callosobruchus chinensis on green mung pulse, Vigna radiata. The oviposition deterrent and ovicidal activity of these three oils were compared between fresh mung pulses and pulses treated at different doses (1, 3 and 6 μl). The results indicated that the rate of oviposition and the mean number of emerged adults of C. chinensis on mung pulses treated with black seed, sesame and soybean oil were lower than their respective control pulses. The lowest number of eggs were recorded in soybean oil treated seeds (13.8 ± 1.07, 12.6 ± 1.36, 10.0 ± 1.82) followed by sesame (51.8 ± 4.63, 25.8 ± 8.52, 14.2 ± 4.50) and black seed oil (67.2 ± 9.71, 27.4 ± 5.52, 21.0 ± 5.54) at dose 1 μl, 3 μl and 6 μl, respectively in order. Soybean oil at the rate of 6μl/50 seeds was significantly effective (10.0 ± 1.82) to inhibit egg deposition. In case of ovicidal activity, minimum number of adults were emerged from black seed oil treated pulses (25.2 ± 2.73, 24.2 ± 0.58, 22.4 ± 1.17 at dose 1, 3 and 6 μl, respectively). Black seed oil at the rate of 6μl/ 50 seeds was the most effective (22.4 ± 1.17) than other edible oils. Bangladesh J. Zool. 47(1): 59-65, 2019

The ovicidal and repellent effects of 11 spice powders against the pulse beetle Callosobruchus chinensis L. and C. maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) on stored chickpea and black gram, respectively was investigated. The spice powders of black cumin, black pepper, cinnamon, clove, coriander, cumin, green cardamom, large cardamom, nutmeg, red pepper and Trigonella were used throughout the experiment. The data were recorded on oviposition after 30, 60 and 100 days and repellent activity after 1 to 5 hours of treatment doses of 25 and 37.5 mg/g spice powders, which were applied with chickpea and black gram seed on C. chinensis L. and C. maculatus (F.), respectively. Minimum number of oviposition was observed in black pepper, clove and cinnamon treated pulses, while maximum number was recorded in control treatments. The ovicidal activity of the spice powders was in the order of black pepper > clove > cinnamon > nutmeg > black cumin > cumin > green cardamom > red pepper > coriander > large cardamom > Trigonella> as control for C. chinensis L. and black pepper> clove> cinnamon> nutmeg> black cumin> cumin> green cardamom> red pepper> coriander> Trigonella> large cardamom> as control for C. maculatus (F.). Black peeper, clove, cinnamon and nutmeg showed repellant activity against adult C. chinensis L., and black peeper, clove and cinnamon showed repellant activity against adult C. maculatus (F.) while the others spices did not show any repellency.Bangladesh J.

Objective: Callosobruchus chinensis is a major pest that affects mung bean causing severe damage during storage. The objective of the present study is aimed to evaluate the effect of panchagavya in larvicidal activity on C. chinensis and its seed germination was observed. Methods: The methods used in this study were followed by observing the people at a remote village in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. This study is about the traditional knowledge of the use of cow urine in panchagavya described in Ayurveda and its application in seed preservation. Results: The ovicidal activity of panchagavya was remarkably good. The ability of ovicidal (instar) development into an adult beetle was found to be nothing. C. chinensis instar and adult beetle showed 100% mortality when treated with cow urine in small concentrations and good seed germination was observed. Conclusion: Panchagavya is potentially effective and eco-friendly in controlling beetles in grains storage and its enhanced seed germination.

Among the insecticides tested as seed protectants against Callosobruchus chinensis under ambient condition for a period of nine months revealed that all seed protectants were significantly effective. Maximum germination was observed (86.67%) when seed treated with novaluron 10 EC @0.05ml/kg followed by emamectin benzoate 5 SG@40mg/kg (85.67 per cent). The vigour index was maximum in emamectin benzoate (1913.87) followed by novaluron.

Callosobruchus Chinensis is a pest that damages mung bean seeds in storage and causes damage to both the quality and quantity of seeds. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of neem leaf extracts in suppressing the development of the Callosobruchus Chinensis pest as one of the postharvest pests in the commodity green beans. This research conducted at the Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Flores, by using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments and three replications. The concentration of neem leaf extract treatment is 0 ml / l, 25 ml / l, 30 ml / l, 35 ml / l, and 40 ml / l. The results showed that the concentration of neem leaf extract 40 ml / l caused mortality of C. Chinensis imago as contact poison by 99% and nerve poison by 47%. While the effectiveness of the limb leaf extract on spawning activity was 86%.

AbstractComparative bioassays of two chloronicotinyl insecticides, acetamiprid and imidacloprid, against the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius), using foliar and systemic applications, were conducted under laboratory conditions and in field trials. Under controlled conditions, the ovicidal activity of foliar applications of acetamiprid on cotton seedlings was much higher than that of imidacloprid. According to LC50 and LC90 values, acetamiprid was 10- and 18-fold more potent than imidacloprid. Both compounds were effective when applied to soil against whitefly adults; however, the potency of imidacloprid was somewhat higher than that of acetamiprid 2, 7 and 14 days after application; resulting (with the concentration of 25 ml a.i./l) in adult mortality of 90, 93, and 96% and 76, 84, and 76% respectively. In an experimental cotton field, the efficacy of foliar applications of 60 g a.i./ha acetamiprid and 210 g a.i./ha imidacloprid was compared. Field residual activity of acetamiprid to whitefly adults lasted for approximately ten days, compared with three days for imidacloprid.
