Evaluation of different packaging materials against angoumois grain moth on paddy was carried out in the Seed unit, UAS, Raichur during 2018-19 with ambient conditions (20.3 ± 2.3 o C temperature and 50.5 ± 6.3% RH). The seeds packed in PICS bag recorded significantly zero per cent seed damage, lowest adult emergence of angoumois grain moth (1 adults /100 g of seeds), highest germination (89.00%) maintained good seed health throughout the storage period which was on par with grain pro bag compared to gunny bag. The PICS bag recorded highest net returns (1372.50 Rs) compared to gunny bag (1130.50 Rs).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
