REP.MB-0891

In a laboratory feeding preference trial of Callosobruchus chinensis, insect infestation was maximum on adzuki bean followed by mungbean and minimum on soybean. Pea and peanut were not infested. Mungbeans coated with bromocyclen, chlorbycyclen, premium malathion, malathion and lindane were tested for controlling the pest. On the basis of residual duration of newly hatched larvae, bromocyclen and chlorbycylen were the best and followed by lindane, malathion and premium malathion. A coating of 0.4 to 0.5 kg of 5% bromocyclen or 5% chlorbycylen on 1000 kg seeds was recommended for controlling the pest. This treatment would also prevent infestation of other stored pests. [THH]
