The effect of leaf powders of four medicinal plants viz. Neem (Azadirachta indica), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus saligna), Peepal (Ficus religiosa), and Lemon (Citrus limon) on Rice Weevil (Sitophilus oryzae) was studied in stored rice. The repellency rate and mortality effect were calculated using a completely randomized design with 4 treatments. The data was then projected to statistical analysis and the test significance level was P<0.05, the best treatment in terms of repellency rate was 10gm lemon leaf powder causing 83% repellency within 48 hours of application and in terms of mortality the treatment with 10gm Neem leaf powder showed best results causing 78.5% mortality within 3-days. The results show this trend (Repellency=Lemon>Eucalyptus>Neem>Peepal) (Mortality= Neem>Lemon>Eucalyptus>Peepal) The following experiment is an effort to find alternative options for organic biopesticides that can be used in place of chemical pesticides in a more biodegradable, cost-effective, and sustainable manner.
