Description Among the insect pests that attack
stored groundnut, rice moth Corcyra ~ephalonica
Stainton is most important- It
is polyphagous in nature and cosmopolitan
in distribution. .Its ability to develop at
low humidities ( < 20 "/, RH) may account
for its prevalence in the semi-arid tropics
(SAT) over other stored product lep.idopterous
pests (Dick, 1987)- The irifestation
in groundnut results in both qualitative
and quantitative losses. C. cephalonica
is the most co.mrnon insect pest, often
encountered during the visual examination
of seed samples meant for export.
Though this species is cosn~opolitan in
distribution and has attained economic
importance in several crops, very limited
work has been done with respect to its
control by fumigation. Hence this study
was undertaken to evolve effective, easy,
and economic fumigation schedule to
control this pest to ensure better sanitation
of outgoing seed.
