ABSTRACT An experiment was conducted on the effect of various storage structures on grain damage and weight loss by Callosobruchus chinensis during 2020-2022 at RPCAU, Pusa, Bihar. Different storage containers viz., plastic jar, PLJB, PP bag, HDPE bag, cloth Bag, earthen pot and jute bag as control were used and replicated thrice. Among the various storage structures evaluated for assessing the damage and weight loss of pigeon pea caused by Callosobruchus chinensis for a period of four months, maximum grain damage was recorded in jute bag i.e., 19.84 and 30.91 % at 2 and 4 months, respectively while least damage was recorded in Polythene lined jute bag (PLJB) with 7.64 and 9.98 % at 2 and 4 months, respectively. Similarly, per cent weight loss was found to be highest in jute bag both in 2 and 4 months with values 11.61 and 19.05 %, respectively and up to 4 months of storage period PLJB still performed the best with minimum weight loss (5.05%). |
