Abstract

Angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella Olivier is one of the important insect pests during storages of ricee. Evaluation plant oils against the pest showed that all oils cause mortality over control. Among them neem oil @5ml/kg was found effective followed by pongamia oil as it causes mortality of S. cerealella, less weight loss and adult emergence.
