Abstract

Among different botanicals tested, neem leaf powder protected maize from weevils. It caused high adult weevil mortality, reduced progeny emergence and low % grain damage similar to the standard insecticide, spinosad. Treatments such as custard apple, turmeric and tulsi also caused high adult weevil mortality after 7 days of application. The overall results indicated that neem was very promising bio pesticide than any other treatments.
