Abstract:
The laboratory experiment was conducted to studies on evaluation of different storage bags against Caryedon serratus Olivier in stored groundnut at Department of Agricultural Entomology, Oilseed Research Station, Latur during academic year 2020-21. The groundnut pods stored in PICS bag without bruchid release recorded less per cent pod damage by count (4.29%) up to six months of storage period, while groundnut pods stored in jute gunny bags with bruchid release recorded high per cent pod damage by count (44.14%).The groundnut pods stored in PICS bag without bruchid release recorded less per cent pod damage by weight (4.75%) up to six months of storage period, whereas groundnut pods stored in jute gunny bags with bruchid release recorded high per cent pod damage by weight (43.43%). The groundnut pods stored in PICS bags without bruchid release were recorded high per cent germination (94.25%) which was not significantly decreased up to six months of storage period, while groundnut pods stored in jute gunny bags with bruchid release decreases the per cent germination from 91.75% to 50.75% in six months of storage period.
