Abstract:

An experiment was conducted at Seed Research and Technology Centre (SRTC), PJTSAU, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during 2015-2016 to find out the effect of botanical seed treatments against Sitophilus oryzae in maize. The storage studies revealed that seeds treated with Acorus calamus rhizome powder @ 10 g kg-1 seed had recorded highest germination percentage (85.67), seedling vigour index (2354), less infestation (0.18 per cent) and weight loss (0.02 per cent) at the end of nine months of storage.


Keywords: Management, Sitophilus oryzae, Mizae, Botanicals.
