Introduction

Pulses form an integral part of vegetable diet in Indian subcontinent. India has been producing 12-14 m tonnes of different pulses for the last four decades I .

Nearly 8.5 per cent of the same is lost during post harvest handling and storage2 During storage, damage due to pest attack results in loss of grain weight , decrease in percent seed germin ati on, bes ides contamination and biochemica l and nutritional changes in seeds3.4. There are various chemical, physical and biological factors, which are responsible for the deteriorati on of pulses during storage . They are temperature, humidity, storage pattern , microorgani sms, fungi, insects, rodents and birds5

More than 14 spec ies of insect pests of storage caused damage, of which bruchids Callosobruchus

mantlalus, C. chinensis and C. anaLis are prominent ones. The average percentage damage has been fo und to be max imum on pigeon pea (32.64 per cent) foll owed by Lethyrus (25.6 1 per cent) cowpea ( 18.60 per cent) blackgram ( 14.97 per cent) green gram (9.90 per cent) bengal gram (4.8 per cent) beans (3.8 per cent) peas (2.58 per cent) and lentil (2.2 per cent)6. Here, an attempt is made to compile vari ous botanical protectants avail able aga inst bruchids found in the literature and suggesti ons are offered for better

control measures.

Use of Botanicals as Protectants

Application of pl ant products to protect the stored seeds is a traditional method in rural India. The botanicals such as essential oil s, extrac ts of leaves, bark, seed kernel, powdered pl ant parts, e.g., leaf, seed have been subjected in laboratory conditi ons to control bruchi ds. Using bioproducts IS safer alternative for syntheti c pesticides .

Essential Oils

Cowpea seeds treated with 10ml/kg of groundnut or traditional coconut oil was found to be tox ic against eggs of C. macuLalus and reduced progeny development7

. Crude soyabean oil 0.5mll I OOg of pigeon pea was tox ic to C. chillensi.\·x. Neem seed oil at I ml /I OOg of chickpea seeds protec ted them against C. chinensis9

. Essenti al oil from Acorus calamus rhi zomes was tox ic against Callosobruchus Sp.IO-1 2 Mishra el aL. 1.1 and Ansari and Mishra l 4 have reported that the oil s of Callislcmoll lanceoLalus and Eupalorium capill!foliul11 were found to be toxic to C. maculatus. The LCso for both the oil s decreased with increasing time: 0. 16 and 0.01 8 1111 fo r C. Lanceolalus and 0.092 and 0.01 4ml for E. capillifo lium after 24 and 96 h, respecti vely.

Giga and Munnetsi 15 have suggested that maize oil , a blend of cotton seed and soya oil , castor oil and citrus oi I at rates of 5 1111 oi IIkg seed or higher were effec ti ve in reducing ovipositi on and egg hatching of C. rhodesianus in seeds of Vigna unguicll/tlIa. According to Begam and Quiniones l6.17 the dosages of

Petroleum ether ex tracts of stem and bark of Lilllonia {[cidissill1a were fou nd to be hi ghl y insecti cidal ( 100 per cent and 65 per cent respect ive ly) aga inst C. chineJlsis when adult emergence studies were carried out with seeds of Vigna radiala51

. Makanjuola52 has reported that trea tment of cowpea seeds wi th neem leaf and seed ex tracts in water or methylated spi rit significantl y reduced in ov ipositi on, egg hatch and adult emergence of C. /11oclllatlls and field trials showed that the extracts generally gave protecti on for 5 month s. Treatment at 25-50 mg/ I Og of powder from dried leaves of Prell/ina integrilolill had an tiovipos iti onal effects on C. chillensis in seeds of mung bean Vigna radialO 'il.

Ofuya5~ has reported that tobacco powder was most effective in reducing C. Inaclllalils egg hatching on stored cowpeas. Powdered leaves of Cyl71bopogon j laxuosus of 2-4 per cent by weight gave adequate protection on C. /'I1(/ culatus infestati on in Vigna unglliculata 55. George and Patel)(, reported that dry leaf powder of mint (Menlha spic([{a) at 10 per cent was effecti ve against C. analis in green gram.

Applicati on of 500-2000 ppm of hexane extract of Piper cubeba fruit to black eyed peas (Vigna lIlIglliculala) reduced infestation of C. maclllalllS by 7-42.5 per cent 57. Neem leaves an seed powder when indi viduall y mi xed with cowpeas at 3 per cent w/w caused 85-90 per cent mortality to adult of C. l71aculatus in 72h(ref.58). Wolfson et (d. 5') have reported three parts of ash (Querous spp an Carya spp I: I ratio) to four parts of cowpea prevented growth of C. maculallls population and a 3 cm layer of ash on top of stored seeds prevented in festat ion by adu lts.

Conclusions

The manage ment of insects in stored products is in transiti on from a dependence on regul ar applicati on of chemi ca l in sec ticides to the use of integrated pest management (IPM). Now the focus of resea rch is shi fting to find suitabl e bi oprod ucts produced 1'1'0 111

indigenous pl ants which in many cases has been found to be sati sfactory in control of bruchi ds as well as other stored product pests. SllIdies on characteri sati on and qu antificati on of chemi ca l constituents of pl ant products would further imp rove the efficacy of their use in future insect pes t mLl nagemen t.
