Trials were conducted to test the repellent property of neem seed
(Azadirachta indica) against one of the most serious storage pests of
leguminous seeds Callosobruchus maculatus. The results showed that seeds of
mungbean, chickpea, cowpea and pea were effectively protected from the damage
by the bruchid for about 8, 11, 9 and 9 months, respectively, by mixing 100
parts of the leguminous seeds with I to 2 parts of crushed neem seed. [THH]

Dri-Die, a silica aerogel with a sorptive dust, was tested under laboratory
conditions in India at four concentrations for the control of Callosobruchus
analis (F.) in mungbean seeds. All adult beetles added to seeds mixed with
Dri-Die at 0.04 and 0.03% were dead within 6 h. At 0.02 and 0.01%, all adult
beetles were dead within 24 and 72 h, respectively. But at 0.01% a large number
of beetles emerged after 23 days and survived. [THH]

Seeds of 131 varieties of cowpea and 104 of mungbeans were screened for
Callosobruchus maculatus infestation. Only 24 cowpeas and 29 mungbeans were
slightly less attacked by bruchids. None of cowpea and mungbean varieties was
resistant to bruchid infestation. [THH]

It is demonstrated that wheat flour suppresses the activity of inhibitors
and increases the dietary efficiency of lentil (Lens esculenta Moench.) and
French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) for Trogoderma granarium Everts. This
antagonism of the inhibitory activity is less marked in mungbean (Vigna radiata
Wilczek) and least in semisynthetic glucose-brewer's yeast mixture. Such
inhibition of the antagonistic property of natural foods has not been
demonstrated before in insects. [AS]
