The present studies were carried on S. oryzae L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), as it is considered the most destructive pest of cereals like maize, wheat, pea and rice under storage condition. The effects of crushed leaves of Ocimum sanctum (L.), Clerodendrum inerme (L.) and Azadirachta indica (L.) was recorded against Sitophilus oryzae The relative performance of different treatments with regards to their grain protection effect at all selected dosage was as follows: Azadirachta indica (L.) >Ocimum sanctum (L.) >Clerodendrum inerme (L.). Hence these findings will prove helpful for using cost effective control measures against this serious pest. Moreover, the botanicals are biodegradable, pest specific & leaving no toxic residue in environment.
