Abstract:
Sitophilus oryzae is one of the most destructive insects of stored grains. Various insecticides can be used to control the
Sitophilus oryzae. But chemical pesticides are harmful for the humans and livestock. Use of Biopesticides reduces the health hazards and do not harm the environment. Plant products are easily available and are economic too. In the present investigation two commonly available leaves
viz Eucalyptus and
Mentha are used as Botanical. In the present investigation petroleum ether extract of
Eucalyptus sp. and
Mentha sp. are used against
Sitophilus oryzae. Both extracts provided promising results to control the
Sitophilus oryzae in wheat.
