Abstract:

The use of vegetable oil for protection 4 varieties of greengram (Vigna radiata L.) Wilczek) seeds for 4 months from attack of bruchid beetle (Callosobruchus maculatus (Fabr.) and its effect on the germination of the treated seeds were studied. The lowest damage was recorded in seeds treated with 12.5 ml oil/kg seed. The variety NCM-9 was found to be the most susceptible as the damage percentage was 43.63, 33.80 and 4.12 at treatment levels of 7.5, 10.0 and 12.5 ml oil/kg seed respectively. However, the germination percentage of the seed treated with 12.5 ml oil dose was significantly reduced.
