Abstract
The efficacy of different inert materials and insecticides was tested against the potato tubermoth, Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller), in storage. The experiment consisted of 7 treatments using different inert materials such as sand, sawdust, rice husk, ash, two insecticides (deltamethrin and carbaryl dust) and an untreated control. The so-called 'indigenous' variety 'Lal Pakri' was used for the study. After 5 months storage each of the treatments was effective in reducing pestincidence, but no non-insecticide treatment was more effective thanany other. Both of the insecticide treatments kept the tuber free of the pest.
