Abstract

Effect of three concentrations of carbon dioxide (30, 40 and 50% of the volume) for a period of 3, 6 and 9 months was studied on the management of Caryedon serratus (Oliver) and its influence on seed quality attributes particularly germination, moisture content and vigor on TMV-2 variety of ground nut was conducted during 2010-11. All the three concentrations of CO2 were found to be effective in reducing the per cent pod damage and number of adult survival without affecting the germination, moisture content and vigour index of treated pods.
