Wheat seed storage by using non-insecticide practice was studied at Seed Technology Laboratory, Agronomy Section, Agricultural Research and Training Center, Lampang during March 1986 to March 1987. The experiment was arranged in split-plot design. Non-insecticide materials use to test for in the experiment were lemon grass, ash from rice husk, sonkia (Pinus spp.), pepper, lime and Sevin 85 % (insecticide) at the rate of 50, 50, 50, 30, 20 and 2 grams per 1 kilogram of wheat seed, respectively. All seeds were kept for 12 months. Seed quality decreased and was infected more by insects when stored at longer time. Using pepper and lime for seed in storage could prevent damaging of insect as effectively as using Sevin (insecticide) without any effect on seed quality such as percentage of seed moisture content, seed germination and seed vigor
