Abstract:
The bioefficacy evaluation of Capsicum chinense fruit powder against Callosobruchus chinensis attacking green gram seeds showed a dose-dependent adult mortality (16.67 - 55.00%) at 96 hours after treatment (HAT) with a positive correlation to the exposure period. The lowest LC50 value of 13.04 g/100.0 g of green gram seed was recorded at 96 HAT. Admixing of C. chinense fruit powder recorded the lowest adult emergence (36.00%) at a dosage of 10.0 g/100.0 g seed after 23 days of treatment suggesting strong ovicidal properties, as against 91.50% adult emergence in the control.
