Abstract
The effectiveness of some botanicals collected from various localities of Jodhpur were used against adult emergence of stored grain insect pest, Callosobruchus spp. The experiment was conducted at Department of Zoology, Jai Narain Vyas University, Jodhpur. All the botanicals were used in the form of leaf powder and applied at three doses, 0.5, 1 and 2 gm, separately mixed with 20 gm of mung beans. Azadirachta indica was found most effective with minimum number of adult emergence at all three doses while maximum adults were emerged in grains treated with Salvadora persica at 0.5 gm/20gm of mung beans in comparison to the other botanicals. Eucalyptus globulus, Fagonia cretica, Balanites aegyptiaca, Ocimum sanctum, Commiphora weightii, Barleria acanthoides and Maytenus emarginata also showed effective result in comparison to the control.
