The quantitative and qualitative damage to stored grains and grain product from the insect pests may amount to 20-30% in the tropical zone and 5-10% in the temperate zone. Food grain production in India has reached 250 million tonnes in which nearly 20-25% food grains are damaged by stored grain insect pests. Our country is, therefore, loosing on an average of 9.33 per cent stored grains. Putting tonnes of synthetic pesticides in the environment and killing all the organism alike is certainly not a right approach of solving pest problems. Since ancient time pests have been damaging and causing heavy losses to stored grains both quantitatively and qualitatively. Escalating costs due to depleting natural reserves coupled with ever increasing doses to overcome resistance problem, synthetic insecticides are becoming an unprofitable important input in crop production. Synthetic insecticides have been used extensively in grain facilities to control stored product insect pests. To replace the use of synthetic fumigants in the stored product pest management, an attempt was made to identify the suitable alternative herbarium. Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is an important nutri-cereal for human as well as a forage/fodder crop for livestock. It is a rich source of nutrients as compared to the major cultivated cereal crops. However, major factors which limit its utilization are the presence of anti-nutritional factors (tannins and polyphenols) which lower availability of minerals and poor keeping quality because of higher lipase activity. The current studies revealed that leaf powder of neem was the most effective treatment in Pearl millet. Botanicals can be used as effective tool against T. castaneum along with other IPM tactics.
