Abstract Ten varieties of cowpea grains were infested with Callosobruchus maculatus. This was to determine the level quality deterioration caused by insects. The insect census taken at one, two and three months showed a progressive increase in population from one month months. determined proximate analysis percentage total protein estimation nitrogen content, an control experiment decrease storage period. ash higher than infested, it decreased fat infestation. had but fibre control,...
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...
Khaya senegalensis seed oil was evaluated for its efficacy in the control of Callosobruchus maculatus on stored cowpea. The extracted locally from dry K. seeds. This compared with Pirimiphos methyl E.C. as a standard. There almost complete adult mortality C. at 24 h after treatment 1, 2 and 3 ml/100 g significantly reduced F1 F2 progeny emergence. reduction oviposition not significant when control. damage caused by oil. For all parameters examined, showed no difference maculatus, suggesting...
Abstract The seed and leaf powders of Khaya senegalensis were used for the control Tribolium casteneum on sorghum grains variety SAMSORG-17. K. powder at 5, 10 20 g performed better than in ensuring adult mortality T. 24, 48 72 h. These also suppressed F1 progeny emergence prevented percentage grain damage significantly powder. was however control. as good standard check (Actellic dust) all levels. presence oil is believed to be responsible its effectiveness casteneum.
The utilization of synthetic insecticides for safeguarding cowpea seed against C. maculatus infestation, while effective, faces substantial opposition due to safety apprehensions. detrimental impact Callosobruchus infiltration on quality serves as an indicator that could be utilized assess the effectiveness and reliability newly developed eco-friendly botanical insecticides. This study aimed analyse nutritional composition treated with specific namely, azadirachtin, myristicin,...
There is a renewed interest in Nigeria to go back Agriculture and see it as profession.Maize major staple food for millions of people the country.It one most important cereal crops cultivated food, feed industrial raw materials.In spite cultivation uses maize, production seriously constrained by stem borers.Stem borers have been damaging group insect pests maize worldwide.Feeding borer larvae on plants usually results crop losses consequence death growing point (dead heart), early leaf...
ABSTRACT Some 36 improved and local sorghum varieties wer screened for their relative resistance to Sitophilus oryzae. Index of susceptibility was used as the basis determining level susceptibility. Varieties SINGE-2, SK5912, IC5V902NG, KSV8, 18495, ICSV210 MORI (local variety) were found be highly susceptible. BES, ICSV111, ICSV247, ICSV1079BF ICSH89009NG resistant. The resistant had low number F1 progeny emerging from them while susceptible high emergence. positively correlated emergence...
The effect of Sitophilus zeamais infestation on tryptophan content was evaluated ten (10) maize varieties, comprising nine Quality Protein Maize (QPM) varieties and one non-QPM which served as check. One hundred grammes each variety were infested with pairs newly emerged S. in separate kilner jars. number F, F2 progeny, percentage damage, weight loss kernel hardness for variety. the determined before after to determine amount losses incurred a result feeding by .The showed that at 45 days...
The study was conducted at Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR) horticultural garden Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria under irrigation in two dry seasons (2019 and 2020). region is located Latitude11º11'1N Longitude7º38'E. research to evaluate the effectiveness of microbial pesticides: Emamectin benzoate Beauveria bassiana, botanical extracts: Karanjin from Pongamia glabra Azadirachtin (Azadirachta indica), one synthetic insecticide: Lion Guard EC (with Cypermethrin 3% dimethoate 25%)...
Ten sorghum (Sorghum bieolor (L.) Moench) varieties were infested with Sitophilus oryzae for 3 months in each of 2000, 2001, and 2002 to evaluate the effect pest damage on protein content, determined as the, product total nitrogen (obtained using Micro-Kjedahl method) a factor 6.25. Over years,, % protein. uninfested grains steadily declined increasing storage .duration whereas in. -grains values increased. The increase was attributed accumulation insect frass, exuviae immature stages.
The ever increasing demand to meet the global food need has defined indispensability of pesticides. Across globe, some countries have been identified as chief producers certain commodities, and Nigeria is not an exception in that regard with its impressive annual cowpea seed production status 4.5 million metric tons which relies solely on sporadically toxic synthetic insecticides be saved from attack by C. maculatus , a prominent insect pest said crop. Thus, aim this study was assess...
