INSECTICIDAL EFFECT OF BOTANICAL MATERIAL FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF PULSE BEETLE, (CALLOSOBRUCHUS CHINENSIS): A STEP TOWARD ECO-FRIENDLY CONTROL

Pulses are grown on different one eighty million hectares which is twelve fifteen percent of the Earth's arable soil and they reported for twenty-seven percent of the world's major yield creation, among granule pulses only giving thirty-three percent of the nutritional protein Nitrogen require of human being. The persistent use of these insecticides in granaries of small-scale farmers has led to a number of problems such as killing of non-mark species, user hazards, and toxic residues in food, development of genetic resistance in the treated pest, increased cost of application and the destruction of the balance of the ecosystem. While a large family called Euphorbiaceous of flowering plants contains 300 genera and round about 7,500 species. This family occurs mainly in the tropics, with majority of the species. Two botanicals, viz., Birbra, Thorn apple, A.indica Mexican tea, two edible seed oils viz., B. juncea, linseed, Noug and two inert materials, such like timber dust and sand were used for the trial, data was taken, analyzed and the resulted that Mustard oil showed the minimum days of 5.06, 5.63 and 6.64 to 100% mortality at its application rates of 1.0, 0.5 and 0.25 g, respectively, which were significantly better compared to Neem seed powder, wood ash, linseed oil and turpentine oil at their all application rates. Mustard oil and turpentine oil at all their appliance rates were the most effective in reducing fecundity of PB. Mustard oil and linseed oil was known the minimum holes per granule.
