Abdul Rahim Muda, . (1984) Utilization of neem as a pest control agent for stored paddy. In: Seminar on Health and Ecology in Grains Post-Harvest Technology, 21-24 Aug 1984, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia).
Abstract
Effectiveness of using neem leave as antifeedant/repellent against insects of stored paddy in 40kg sacks was evaluated. Three neem leave treatments were compared with two pest control methods consisting of insecticidal dust (methacrifos 2%) and paddy husk ash (2% w/w). Observations of treatments efficacy after 3 three months storage revealed that neem treatments are capable of reducing population buildup especially the major insect species Sitophilus oryzae and Rhizopertha dominica. It is not apparent which neem application method is most effective; but all neem treatments showed promising potentials comparable to insecticide dust. Comparing three grain loss assessment methods (ADAMS and SCHULTEN 1978) showed standard volume/weight method is more reliable and can be conducted with better efficiency than by Count/Weight or Converted Percentage Damage methods. The verification of necessity for baseline data confirmed earlier suggestion of its non-necessity for paddy grain
