Abstract
Laboratory experiments on effectiveness of different storage bags against the groundnut Bruchid, Caryedon serratus in storage condition was carried out at Main Oilseeds Research Station, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during 2016 and 2017. All the treatments were significantly superior over untreated check (i.e., Traditional jute gunny bags). Results of the experiment indicated that the lowest per cent pod damage was recorded in the treatments of high-density polythene (HDPE) bags (Adults unreleased), polythene layered gunny bags (Adults unreleased), fertilizer bags (Adults unreleased) and triple layered gunny bags (Adult unreleased) at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days days of trial installation. The high-density polythene (HDPE) bags (Adult unreleased) have also higher net gain as well as ICBR (1: 52.52) followed by high density polythene (HDPE) bags (Adult released) (1: 43.99) and polythene layered gunny bags (Adult unreleased) (1: 30.01).
