“…During storage, grains are destroyed by many stored-grain insects that are responsible for worldwide loss up to 10 -40% annually (Ahmad et al, 2013). Trogoderma granarium, sometimes known as the "khapra beetle," is a dangerous pest that attacks grains that have been stored, including groundnuts, sesame, barley, sorghum, and rice (Feroz, 2020;Yadav et al, 2021). Due to favourable climatic factors including humidity and temperature, this damaging pest is found in bins, granaries, farm homes, and godowns in various nations including India, China, Pakistan, Africa, and Turkey (Naseri and Borzoui, 2016;Mutlu et al, 2019).…”

Trogoderma granarium (Everts) is one of the world’s most destructive pest of stored products (Legumes and cereals), oilseeds, dry fruits, copra and other stored products. In this research paper alternative of chemical control were applied to give a repellent effect and more safety method, however Repellent effect of acetone extracts of three medicinal plants: (Eucaaliptus, Rosemary and Ginger) to the Trogoderma granarium (Evetrs) larvae (Stage 3 and 4) was evaluated under laboratory condition. There were four treatments including control and three replications in this experiment. Rotary Shaker was used for the preparation of extracts 0, 10, 14 and 18% concentrations were used in this experiment. Eucalyptus plant extracts showed good results, maximum mean repellency (6.33%) followed by Ginger (5.33 %) and Rosemary (3.00%). The results show repellency was increased with increase in concentration. The application of these plant extracts can protect stored grains against attack of Trogodema granarium.
