Abstract
Control of insect pests attacking stored food grain has become a major concern in the developing nations to ensure food security. A study was carried out to explore the biochemical composition and insecticidal potential of Mitracarpus villosus as grains protectant for the post-harvest protection of stored grains. Results revealed that the plant possess insecticidal properties as the fumigant and repellent activity was significantly (p
