| Abstract | ||
| The results indicated that the kinds of legume seeds and storage period affect to the activity of khapra beetle which represented in the population density of the insects and loss weight of infested seeds and growth rate of insect. The results indicated that the chick pea, Caw pea and green gram had more preferred for insect feeding than another legume seeds as lentil, broad bean, pea and bean, and had a high general mean for insect numbers was 245.67 insect for chick pea and followed caw pea seeds 188.00 insect and green gram seeds 140.89 insect. The general mean of insect numbers were increased with increasing storage period which were 26.05, 72.57 and 171.57 insect for storage period of 3, 6 and 9 moths respectively. According to other characteristics as loss weight, loss percentage of weight and growth rate were higher on the chick pea from another kinds. These characters that arranged between zero on the broad bean seeds and 15.67 gm., 62.68 % and 3.51 individual / month of the chick pea seeds. | ||
