Assessment of Quantitative and Qualitative losses Caused by Pulse Beetle (Callosobruchus Chinensis) during Storage of Chickpea grains in various Storage Structures
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
The present study was carried out in Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh, which is a major Chickpea growing district in M.P., with the objective of assessing quantitative and qualitative losses caused by Pulse Beetle (Callosobruchus chinensis) during storage of Chickpea grains (cultivar JG 315) in various storage structures, where it was found that, still farmers are using traditional storage structures like kuthla, bunda, jute bags, etc. inspite of scientific structures like warehouses. Further, it was found that, low infested seeds (7.25 to 9.70%) with less moisture content (12.30 to 13.80%) showed better germination (72.30 to 87.00%) and had minimum weight loss (0.28 to 2.20%). Out of all the storage structures used, metallic bins were found to have less qualitative and quantitative losses of seed/grains
