STUDY THE EFFECT OF TREE EUCALYPTUS LEAVES, SHELL AND FRUITS ON COWPEA BEETLE (CALLOSOBRUCHUS MACULATUS), WHICH AFFECTS CHICKPEAS IN STORES.

Cowpea beetle is one of the major resistances to chickpea storage. The need of resisting growth of cowpea beetle is necessary of safe storage. We have studied the growth of C. maculatus on Vigna unguiculata, Vigna radiata and Vigna angularis under different temperature and humidity conditions. Tree Eucalyptus is used to analysis the control of C. maculatus. Different concentration and various product of Tree Eucalyptus is used to analysis control measure of cowpea beetle. This Extract is used with different concentration of T. Eucalyptus. Leave of T. Eucalyptus, its shell and Fruits extract is used along with different concentration level. It is observed that Tree Eucalyptus is a strong resistance control for cowpea beetle. Result analysis concludes that Tree Eucalyptus leaf extracts with 30% and 20% of distilled water concentration is the best control prevention for cowpea beetle on chickpeas. Cowpea prevention is resisted to 85-95% on Day 2 after treatment of 20% and 30% concentration of Tree Eucalyptus leaves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
