Follow-up: tested the salt-and-jar method on maize. Results matched the handheld meter.

Has anyone tried neem oil on stored pulses? I want to avoid chemical fumigants this season.

Yes, I used it last year on chickpeas. Applied a thin layer and checked weekly. Kept weevils away for about two months.

Good to know. Did you need to reapply after heavy rain? My storage shed gets humid in July.
