Abstract

Among the different insecticides used for treating different fabrics used for storage of chickpea was evaluated for their effect on various parameters of seeds and found that spinosad 45 SC @100 ppm a.i. treated porous HDPE bag was safer and most suitable for long term storage of pulses as they did not affect the viability and vigour index of the seeds.
