The experiment was conducted to find out the efficacy of dodder vine extract as seed protectant against pulse beetle,Callosobruchus chinensis on gram seed in the laboratory of the Department of Entomology, Bangladesh AgriculturalUniversity, Mymensingh during the period of February to May, 2009. The concentrations of dodder vine extract were5, 2 and 1% respectively. Efficacies of these treatments were evaluated by considering oviposition, adult emergence,intensity of damage and seed weight loss done by pulse beetle. Dodder vine extract was found effective in checkingoviposition, adult progeny development and severity of seed damage. Seeds treated with 5% concentration of doddervine extract were less preferred for oviposition, adult emergence and seed weight loss by C. chinensis and this conc.might be useful in protection of pulse seed.
