Research Laboratory, Department of Agricultural Entomology, N. M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. The results indicate that significantly maximum mortality (79.58%) with minimum seed damage (2.56%) and weight loss (1.58%) was observed in the seeds treated with mustard oil @1% followed by castor oil (4.22%, 2.88%, 70%, respectively); and sesame oil at 1% was the least effective, resulting in maximum seed damage (9.93%), weight loss (6.40%) and the least mortality (52.09%).
