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.

Effect of various concentrations of coffee, Coffea arabica, viz. 12.50%, 25% and 50% on the growth and development of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) was determined. Coffee lengthened the larval and pupal periods significantly. There was also a significant reduction in the pupal recovery and adult emergence of the beetle following treatment. The food with 50% coffee had the most detrimental effects on the beetle. Coffee extract could be used as useful botanical pesticide for controlling red flour beetle.Bangladesh J.

Five-day old larvae of the susceptible (FSS-II) and organophosphorus-resistant (PH-I) strains of the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum were exposed under laboratory conditions to food treated with 100, 250, 500 and 1000 ppm of a synthetic pyrethroid Fenvalerate up to adult emergence. The larval mortality was assessed at 1-, 3-, 7- and 15-days post-exposure, and up to pupation. PH-I was found less susceptible to Fenvalerate than FSS-II which required 1.2 to 3.1 fold more insecticide to induce 50% mortality. The pyrethroid treatments significantly increased the larval and pupal periods (P<0⋅05) in both the strains and the formation of pupal and adult progenies was adversely affected (P<0⋅001).

A laboratory experiment was conducted to assess the efficacy of nine plant products namely neem, karanj, eucalyptus, lantana, custard apple, lemon grass and meetha neem using their leaf powder and turmeric and ginger using their rhizome powder against the rust red flour beetle. Tribolium castaneum in stored wheat. Among the different treatments of plant products were evaluated by treating 100 g of wheat grains with 2% of grain weight against T. castaneum up to 30 days. The grains treated with eucalyptus leaf powder were found to be most effective and 27.25% adult mortality and 0.09% weight loss was observed. The least effective treatment was custard apple leaf powder with 7.78 % mortality and lantana leaf powder where 0.37% weight loss was recorded.

Latent Effects

The efficacy of different concentrations of the commercial neem-based insecticide, Nimbicidine® was evaluated against the eggs of the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). The insecticide significantly inhibited the hatching, pupation and adult emergence of the beetle. The latent effects of Nimbicidine® on the next generation progenies were expressed by significant reductions in the growth of larvae, pupation and adult emergence coupled with lengthened developmental period, but the sex ratio was unaffected.
