Evaluation of newer molecule insecticides for the management of Callosobruchus maculatus Fab. on chickpea

A storage experiment was conducted to study the effect of newer insecticide molecules in combating C. maculatus on storability of chickpea variety JG-11 under ambient storage condition from August 2012 to May 2013. The treatment of spinosad 45 SC @ 2 ppm followed by emamectin benzoate 5 SG @ 2 ppm were found free from the seed damage (natural infestation) and presence of live C. maculatus adults were statistically at par with the rest of insecticidal treatments
