A laboratory experiment was conducted on French beans (phaseolus vulgaris L.) to investigate the effectof organic and inorganic seed treatments on seed health. The seeds of French bean were subjected todifferent seed treatments viz., T0: Control (untreated), T1: Neem leaf powder @5g/kg of seed, T2: neemoil @5ml/kg of seed, T3: Castor oil @5ml/kg of seed, T4: karanj oil @5ml/kg of seed, T5: vekhandpowder @10g/kg of seed, T6: Termuric powder @5g/kg of seed, T7: Citronella oil @5ml/kg of seed, T8:Ash @5g/kg of seeds, T9: Deltamethrin @0.04ml/kg of seed. Seed health was tested for differentparameters viz., pulse beetle infestation, seed weight loss, egg-laying, adult emergence, percentmortality, dead insects and live insects. The bio-efficacy test was undertaken to find out the effect ofchemicals and different botanicals against pulse beetle in French bean seed.Results revealed that seeds treated with Deltamethrin @0.04ml/kg of seed significantly recorded thelowest pulse beetle infestation (1.33%), lower number of egg-laying (11.00), lowest number of adultemergence (1.67), lowest seed weight loss (4.67%), highest mortality (87.8%), higher dead insect(15.00) and lower live insect (5.00) at the end of storage period. Among the botanicals, seed treated withneem oil @5 ml/kg of seed showed higher seed quality and health parameters. From the presentinvestigation, the seed treated with organic and inorganic components protected the seed health while,the control seed deteriorated at the end of the storage period.
