The present study was conducted to test the efficiency of three type of storage practices viz., stored directly after purchase, stored after open exposure and stored in solar bed. The experiments were conducted for half an hour (12:00 to 12:30 pm) in open area of the laboratory of Department of Family Resource Management, Collage of Home Science, CCS Harayan Agricultural University, Hisar. Nine samples of ½ kg of each spice (turmeric, red chilli, coriander) were taken for 3 treatments. Each treatment was replicated thrice. The level of moisture and infestation of each sample was recorded after different period of storage. (30 days, 60 days and 90 days). Finding revealed that the level of moisture was found to be significantly higher in case of direct storage after each period of storage. The level of infestation was found to higher in case of direct storage and no infestation occurred in spices which were stored after solar bed exposure. Coriander was found more prominent to infestation by lasioderma at low level of moisture (7.97%) instead of other spices. The negative significant correlation was found between temperature and infestation, as the temperature was found low the level of infestation was higher in all spices (coriander r=-0.57*, red chilli r=-0.51* and turmeric r=-0.40*) other side positive significant correlation was found between moisture and infestation in all spices (coriander r=0.71*, red chilli r=0.71* and turmeric r= 0.69*)
