Abstract
Twelve plant extracts in two different solvents (Acetone and Pet-ether) were evaluated for their oviposition deterrent properties against khapra beetle, T. granarium (E). Out of ten plant tested, Acetone and Pet-ether extracts of Cassia occidentalis (leaf and seed), Withania somnifera (seeds) were found to be effective in deterring ovipositoin.
