Abstract: Studies on the bio-efficacy of seed protectant chemicals against angoumois grain moth on paddy was carried out in the Seed unit UAS, Raichur during 2018-19 with ambient conditions (20.3 ± 2.3 oC temperature and 50.5 ± 6.3 % RH). The observations were recorded on seed damage, seed weight loss and live adults up to 180 DAT. Up to ninety days after treatment imposition no seed damage, no seed weight loss and no live adults was noticed in any of the treatments. The treatments of spinosad 45 SC @ 4.4 mg kg-1 and emamectin benzoate 5 SG @ 40 mg kg-1 recorded least seed damage, least seed weight loss and suppression of adult population at one hundred and eighty days of treatment imposition and both differed significantly from remaining treatments.
