Thered flour beetle(Tribolium castaneum) is a common pest insect
known for attacking and infesting stored flour and grain. They are
one of the most common and most destructive insect pests for grain
and other food products stored in silos, warehouses, grocery
stores, and the home. Bacillus thuringiensis(B.t) is a Gram
positive, soil dwelling bacteria commonly used as a biological
alternative to a pesticide. The present project was designed for
the study of combined insecticidal effect of Bacillus thuringiensis
along with boric acid, insecticide cypermethrin and the plant
leaves powder i.e Azadirachta indica against the Tribolium
castaneum to check the mortality rate of these insects and LC50 was
calculated. Bacteria were isolated from rich soil, pulse dust,
grain dust and its growth was checked on the T3 media by applying
the microbial techniques. On the other hand the larvae of T.
castaneum were reared in empty glass jars, the third instar larvae
and the adults were collected which were used in insecticidal
bioassays."
