Grain storage losses due to insect pests have been a serious problem threatens the livelihood of small-scale farmers.Sampling and inspection grain stores provide important information that is useful in identifying managing insects problems associated with storage.A survey sampling farmers' was conducted three geo-political regions (Central, North South) Kebbi state gain better understanding pest species impending they cause farmers stores, help new approach (VDS) for assessing damage by...
Utilization of compounds in extracts derived from medicinal plants is vogue now for managing Meloidogyne incognita on crops owing to the unpopular use synthetic nematicides especially Sub-Saharan Africa. In this study, Azadirachta indica A. Juss and Hyptis suaveolens obtained using hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate methanol were tested their efficacy inhibiting egg hatching inducing larval mortality tomato bioassay maintained Screenhouse. The each solvent reconstituted...
Grain storage losses due to insect pests threaten the livelihood of small-scale farmers in Kebbi state.The various methods grain protection are adequate providing good from pest damage, however, when improved might provide a better protection.A survey 240 famers was conducted three regions (Central, North and South) state increase understanding employ by protect their important damage pests.Of all grain, sorghum stored greater quantity (4,000 kilos/household, p<0.001) than other grains...
Field trials were carried out at Samaru, Zaria in the 2022 and 2023 cropping seasons to study effect of weeding frequencies for management flea beetles (Podagrica spp.) on production yield okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench). A randomized complete block design (RCBD) replicated four times was used evaluate frequencies: no weeding, one two three weeding. Data collected number beetle populations, flowers produced, damaged fruits, leaves weight fruits. The results present findings...
The cowpea weevil,
Abstract The evolution of resistance to the Bacillus thuringiensis ( Bt ) toxins by insect pests is a major threat technology. However, rate can be slowed with appropriate integrated management (IRM) strategies. Surveys were conducted identify alternate host species for Maruca vitrata (commonly called legume pod borer or that could serve as refuges Pod-Borer Resistant (PBR) cowpea in three West African countries (Ghana, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso). Survey sites included 25 northern Ghana, 44...
Fall Armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda infestation in Nigeria has reduced the yield of maize by over 40%, especially where control measures are not implemented adequately or effectively. The concealed feeding behavior larvae leaf whorl makes its with insecticide difficult, for older as a high volume will be required to reach hidden larvae. This can increase potential pest exposure insecticide, selection pressure and consequent development resistance. One new strategies being developed...
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of pheromone trap modification on catch ofmale Plodia Interpunctella. Laboratory experiments were comparing pairs ofdifferent designs, each having different modifications, determine mothscatches Moths standard funnel compared with a sticky delta notsignificantly (p>0.05). Delta modified windows cut (12cm long x 7cmheight) sides panel proved significantly caught more moths than trap(p<0.05). Changing lure position within from suspended...
