A survey was conducted to evaluate the incidence of cigarette beetle Lasioderma serricorne F. in three districts of Telangana state viz., Nizamabad, Ranga Reddy and Warangal. The survey was conducted twice- July and October 2014. These surveys revealed the prevalence of five species in stored turmeric viz., cigarette beetle Lasioderma serricorne F., drug store beetle Stegobium paniceum L., red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum Herbst, lesser grain borer Rhyzopertha dominica F. and saw-toothed grain beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis L. Among these, L. serricorne was found to be the most dominant in all the three districts, with maximum infestation being observed in Ranga Reddy district.Keywords

An experiment was conducted to detect the hidden infestation of Lasiderma serricorne F. in the turmeric rhizomes by X-ray radiography. Six varieties viz., Duggirala, Pratibha, Armoor, Salem, Kasturi and Tekurpeta were selected based on their size. Standardization of X-ray radiography values were done by subjecting the fingers to 120 combinations of voltage (KV), current (mA) and exposure period (s). The results revealed that the hidden infestation was detected as accurately as possible with 22 to 25 KV voltage, 3 mA to 5 mA current with 10 sec of exposure.Keywords
