Abstract

Effect of fumigation with Fossifid gas at different weights (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 gm) of jute bags infested with larvae and adult of Trogoderma granarium (Everts) were study under laboratory conditions. Results showed that larvae mortalities was 100%, at all weight treatments. Treating infested jute bags (that use in field) by T.granarium with about 2 gm/bag (1pilte) led to 78.72% mortality of larvae and adult. And the later treatment after one month by 1gm/bag (½ pilte) led to 100% mortality of the insects. Therefore, fumigatium with Fossifid gas infested jute bags with T.granarium was Very effective in controlling this pest.
