It has been observed from the study that the botanicals had direct toxic effect, repellent effect, residual and grain protectant effect against red flour beetle. among the tested plants Neem extracts showed the most toxic, repellent, residual and grain protectant effects, where seed extract is more effective than leaf extract.
