This paper reviews entomophagy as practised in Africa within the context of food and nutritional security by providing an inventory various species insects that are consumed on continent suggests a research for development (R4D) agenda sustainable utilisation feed. Our survey showed over 470 eaten Africa. The Central African region remains most important hotspot having culture entomophagy. mostly dominated orders Lepidoptera, Orthoptera Coleoptera. Commonalities were observed across majority...
Endophytic fungi, which live within host plant tissues without causing any visible symptom of infection, are important mutualists that mediate plant–herbivore interactions. Thrips tabaci (Lindeman) is one the key pests onion, Allium cepa L., an economically agricultural crop cultivated worldwide. However, information on endophyte colonization onions, and their impacts biology thrips feeding them, lacking. We tested onion plants by selected fungal isolates using two inoculation methods. The...
A wide range of insects affect crop production and cause considerable yield losses. Difficulties reside on the development adaptation adequate strategies to predict insect pests for their timely management ensure enhanced agricultural production. Several conceptual modelling frameworks have been proposed, choice an approach depends largely objective model availability data. This paper presents a summary decades advances in population dynamics, phenology models, distribution risk mapping....
Arthropod pests and vectors constrain the livelihood opportunities of people in Africa by debilitating production crops livestock through transmission vector-borne diseases. In absence effective alternative management options to tackle these vectors, there is extensive dependence on synthetic pesticides for their crop systems, with significant negative impacts animal human health, environment. Biopesticides are environmentally sustainable alternatives pesticides. At International Centre...
The pathogenicity of 13 isolates Metarhizium anisopliae and two Beauveria bassiana to Ceratitis capitata var. rosa fasciventris exposed as late third instar larvae in sand was evaluated the laboratory. All caused a significant reduction adult emergence corresponding large mortality on puparia both species. also induced deferred emerging adults following treatment larvae. On C. , seven ( M. ICIPE 18, 20, 32, 60 69 B. 44 82) significantly higher than other isolates. With exception four above...
The effect of temperature on germination, radial growth and pathogenic activity two strains Beauveria bassiana four Metarhizium anisopliae the legume flower thrips, Megalurothrips sjostedti , was studied in laboratory. Germination, low for all at 15 C. Optimum ranged between 25-30 fastest growing strain C M. ICIPE 69. Compared to other strains, 69 also appeared have a broad range against pest. significance these findings relation control is discussed. Keywords: TemperatureBeauveria...
Seventeen isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin and three Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) were evaluated for their pathogenicity to the adult pea leafminer, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae), in laboratory. Flies contaminated with dry conidia through a velvet material wrapped around inner side cylindrical plastic tube. All pathogenic causing mortality between 40 100% at 5 d after exposure. The lethal time 50%...
Abstract The virulence of eight isolates Metarhizium anisopliae and four Beauveria bassiana (Ascomycota: Hypocreales) to adult Cylas puncticollis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) was tested in the laboratory. Insects were sprayed with a standard concentration 1.0 × 10 7 conidia mL −1 using Burgerjon’s spray tower. All pathogenic C. . Mortality varied between 77.5% 84.2% B. 62.5% 89.2% M. , 26 days post‐treatment. lethal time 50% mortality for 12 9.7 18.5 days. Four isolates, International Centre...
