Abstract

A laboratory trial was designed to investigate the bio-pesticide effects of acetone extracts of ten aboriginal plant species. Most of the concentrations of the extracts found effective to control the population of severe pulse beetle, Callosobruchus chinensis (L.).Extracts effectively reduced the number of eggs laid by female beetles on the seed surface, killed the eggs to avoid further damage to the stored seeds and as repellent reduce the appearance of the pulse beetles on the stored pulses.

Laboratory experiments were conducted at optimum conditions of temperature and relative humidity i.e. 25+/- oC and 70+/-5 RH respectively.
