(Coleoptera: Bruchidae), is a worldwide insect pest that infests pulses in the fields and seeds in storage. An investigation has been conducted on the life history and ovipositional preference of Callosobruchus maculatus reared on five different pulses. The oviposition period had not varied significantly between the pulses. The adults exhibited a marked preference for smooth, well-filled seeds for oviposition.The order of preference for Callosobruchus maculatus for oviposition were: Vigna unguiculata (cowpea) � Vigna radiata (green gram) � Vigna mungo (black gram) � Dolichos biflorus (horse gram) � Pisumsativum (green peas). The pulses selected for the investigation were initially infested by the insect, but the degree of infestation varied among the pulses. This is due to the varied responses of the insect to different host seeds for oviposition and their appropriateness for the successful completion of the life cycle.<#LINE#>Southgate B.J., Biology of the Bruchidae@Annual Reviewof Entomology@24, 449-473 (1979)@Yes$Allotey J. and Oyewo E.O.@Some aspects of the biologyand control of Callosobruchus maculatus on some storedsoyabean@Glycine max (L) Merr varieties, Afric.J.Food,Agric, Nutri and Devel., 4(2), 1-13 (2004)@Yes$Dobie P.@The laboratory assessment of the inherentsusceptibility of maize varieties to post-harvest infestationby Sitophilus zea mais Motsch (Coleoptera@Curculionidae),Journal of Stored Product Research, 10, 183-197 (1974)@Yes$Bressani R., Nutritive value, In: Singh, S.

Yeshwant sagar reservoir is situated at 556 meter from the M.S.L. Average rainfall of Indore is about 35-45 inches. At that time population of Indore was 1.25 lakh. Government (1928) had started investing water problem and food problem, as a result Yeshwant sagar plan was built. This plan was made on river Gambhir with catchment area of 140 square kilometer. At present the reservoir water used for irrigation, domestic purpose and fish culture, on commercial scales. Present study were recoded in the year 2012-2013. 39 species of fish fauna were identified from Yeshwant sagar reservoir, 6 order, 10 family and 2 division.<#LINE#>Jain R., Choudhary P. and Dhakad N.K.@Study onichtyofaunal diversity of Bilawali Tank in Indore MP@J.Chem.Bio.Phy.
