Eco-friendly Management of Angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella Olivier using some botanicals on stored paddy
Abstract
Angoumois grain moth is one of the most damaging pests of rice in storage in tropical and subtropical regions. To combat the infestation of the pest farmer mostly uses the chemical insecticides, which are costly and not environment friendly. Using plant originated botanicals is a good alternative to the chemical pesticides. Hence, the study was conducted to find a suitable botanical to manage the Sitotroga cerealella Olivier, with low cost. The experiment was conducted in the laboratory under the Department of Entomology at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from April to September, 2011. Five botanicals viz., dried leaf powder of neem @ 2.5 g/kg paddy, bishkatali @ 2.5 g/kg paddy, marigold @ 2.5 g/kg paddy, mahogany @ 2.5 g/kg paddy, chopped garlic bulb @ 1.0 g/kg paddy along with one untreated control were evaluated. The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with 4 replications. Data were recorded on grain infestation by number and weight, seed germination and economic returns of the management practices in terms of benefit cost ratio (BCR). Among five promising botanicals, dried neem leaf powder reduced the highest grain infestation by number and weight (72.77% & 62.07%, respectively) as well as the highest percentage of germination over control (28.74%) was recorded from this treatment. The highest (11.65) benefit cost ratio (BCR) was also achieved by the dried neem leaf powder than that of other botanicals. So the neem leaf powder considered as the best botanical among the five, for the management of the destructive moth.
Key Words: Pest Damage, BCR, Botanicals and Neem
