| PAS 5 | "Antifeedant and larvicidal activities of hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts of Clerodendrumphlomidis and Flueggealeucopyrus at 5, 2.5, 1.0 and 0.5% were studied against III instar larvae of Eariasvittella. Hexane extract of F. leucopyrus and chloroform extract of C. phlomidis showed maximum antifeedant activity of 81.00 and 80.48%, respectively at 5% concentration. The least LC50 and LC90 values were 1.21 and 1.36% for hexane extract of F. leucopyrus and 4.96 and 5.11% were for chloroform extract of C. phlomidis, respectively. Cent percent larvicidal activity was observed in chloroform extract of C. phlomidis at 5% concentration, while hexane extract of F. leucopyrus recorded at 87.52 and 5% concentration. The LC50 and LC90 values for larvicidal activity were 0.51 and 1.74% for chloroform extract of C. phlomidis and 1.74 and 4.69% for hexane extract of F. leucopyrus, respectively. No adult emergence was observed at all concentrations of C. phlomidis chloroform extract and at 5 and 2.5% concentrations of F. leucopyrus hexane extract." [C. Muthu, K. Baskar, S. Kingsley and S.

| Other Community Practices | "Field peas and lupins stored at temperature of 35oC deteriorate at faster rate compared to high moisture content grains stored at 27oC. Grains stored at 20oC at 13% and 14% moisture content for lupins and field peas are ideal for storage with no loss in grain viability and mould growths during 10 months storage period (Cassells and Armstrong, 1998). Brown beans can be stored safely as long as 370 weeks at low moisture content (11 %) and low storage temperature (5oC), whereas grains stored at high moisture (23 %) and storage temperature (25oC) may last less than a week." http://www.grainscanada.gc.ca/storageentrepose/aafc-aac/pfsg-pgef-8-eng.htm |
