Abstract:
Experiments were undertaken in room circumstances on variety of pulses to investigate the seed damage and weight loss caused by pulse beetle Callosobruchus maculatus. The pulses selected for the study of comparative effect of Callosobruchus maculatus were chick pea (desi chana) “Cicer arietinum”, golden gram (moong daal) “Vigna radiata”, field pea (matar) “Pisum sativum”, Lentil (Masur) “Lens culinaris” and Kabuli chana (Chola) “Cicer arietinum”. The selected five variety of pulses are infested with pulse beetles and kept the pulse boxes for forty-five days without disturbing the pulses.
