Abstract

Different insect pests attack stored grain products during storage. T. castaneum are the most threatening pests of stored grains. Feeding of adults and larvae is stored grains. The extracts of Datura stramonium and Zingiber officinale prepared with acetone and Deltamethrin was applied. Five concentrations 0.01%, 0.02%, 0.03%, 0.04%, 0.05% were prepared with one controlled concentration of both the plants and the Deltamethrin. Treatments were applied on the filter paper check their possible lethal effects against T. castaneum. The data concerning mortality was recorded after time interval 24, 48 and 72 hours and analyzed statistically using ANOVA (analysis of variance) and comparison of means of treatment means was analyzed with the help of Tuckey’s honestly significant difference (THSD) test. The mean mortality of Tribolium castaneum were 90% after 72 hours by exposure of Deltamethrin. The mean values of % mortality caused by effect of Datura stramonium against T. castaneum was 52%. The mean values of % mortality caused by plant extract Zingiber officinale against T. castaneum was 41% after 72 hours. Results revealed that Deltamethrin is more effective than plant extracts. Datura stramonium is more effective than Zingiber officinale.
