Abstract
The chapter investigates the bioefficacy of various botanicals against Caryedon serratus (groundnut beetle) under laboratory conditions over a year. The study tested powders, ethanolic extracts, chromatographic fractions, essential oils, and pellets derived from various plants at 1% concentration. Among the tested botanicals, powders and active components of Carum copticum, Acorus calamus, Ocimum sanctum, and Syzizium aromaticum exhibited 100% protection of groundnut pods/kernels. Essential oils such as Nilgiri (Eucalyptus), Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus), Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora), and Crown oil (Shorea robusta), as well as pellets of Camphor, Carum copticum, and Mentha spicata (Peppermint), were highly effective. The LD50 values were found to be 0.5% v/w and 0.5% w/w, respectively. Active compounds like 1,8-Cineol and α-pinene were identified using GC-MS analysis. These phytoproducts, due to their strong aromatic nature, show potential as fumigants or insect repellents for protecting stored groundnuts.
