Abstract: BASILIO, CHERRY SUSAN T., Agricultural Science. Department, Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, March 1992 "The Effect of Different Insect Repellant on the Storability and Germinability of Selected Leguminous Seeds." Adviser: Professor Josefins A. Viado The study was conducted to determine the effect of different insect repellent on tne storability and germinability of selected le,unwins seeds. It further aimed to identify which insect repellant (naphthalene ball, hot pepper, and tobacco midrib) is best suited on the longevity or storability of selected leguminous seeds. A Total of 900 leguminous seeds (string beans, pigeon pea and winged bean) were used in a Split Plot Design with insect repellent as the main-plot factor and leguminous seeds as the subplots. They were replicated three times. The study revealed that the different insect repellant used has not greatly affected the storability and germinability of seeds. However, the leguminous seeds used showed great effect on it, Treatments with napthalene ball as the insect repellant attained the highest percentage of germination and the lowest percentage of seed attacked, It was found to be the best for storing seeds. The Control treatment attained the longest number of days from sowing to germination both in field and laboratory germinated seeds.
