Abstract: Eight common insecticides were used as seed protectants Emamectin benzoate (Proclaim 5SG) @2ppm (40.0mg/kg seed), Spinosad (Tracer 45SC) @2ppm (4.4mg/kg seed), Indoxacarb (Avaunt14.5SC) @2ppm (13.8mg/kg seed), Rynaxypyr (Coragen20SC) @2ppm (0.01ml/kg seed), Chlorfenapyr (Intrepid 10EC) @2ppm (0.02ml/kg seed), Profenofos (Curacron50EC) @2ppm (0.004ml/kg seed), Novaluron (Rimon10EC) @5ppm0.05ml/kg seed), Delltamethrin2.8EC @1.0 ppm (0.04 ml/kg seed) along with one untreated control. All the chemicals were tested for their effectiveness in term of seed moisture, damage by test insect, weight loss, germination and vigour against C. chinensis under ambient condition for a period of 9 months. After 9 months of storage the results revealed that insecticides namely Novaluron 10 EC@ 0.05ml/kg with 1.33 per cent infestation, 7.08 per cent weight loss and other measuring traits followed by Emamectin Benzoate 5 SG@ 40mg/kg with 1.67 per cent infestation and 8.16 per cent weight loss showed best results. Infestation, weight loss increased significantly along with the increase in moisture per cent.
