“…The cowpea seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae), a cosmopolitan pest of legume seeds both in stores and in the field, is among the most serious pests in stored product in tropical countries (Haddi et al, 2018;Lopes et al, 2018;Massango et al, 2017) being able to cause losses up to 100% of stored cowpea beans within few months (Kang et al, 2013;Melo et al, 2015). The control of this insect pest, when accomplished, is mainly achieved by the application of synthetic molecules such as phosphine and pyrethroid insecticides (Freitas et al, 2016), with serious risks of selecting resistant populations as well as increased hazard to human health and environment (Gbaye et al, 2016;Iturralde-García et al, 2016).…”

The protection of stored products from insect damages, when accomplished, is mostly relying on the application of synthetic insecticides with serious health and environmental issues in addition to risks of selection of resistant insect populations associated with such practice. The use of plants derived compounds have been presented as sound strategy for sustainable insect pest management. Eugenol is an aromatic component of natural occurrence in essential oils of numerous plants. known for its repellent and insecticidal bioactivities against different insect species. Here, we investigated the fumigant application of eugenol to control the cowpea weevil Callosobruchus maculatus (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) by assessing toxicity, effects on biological development (including emergence inhibition) and repellency to these weevil. Besides a good fumigant insecticidal activity, eugenol exposure resulted in a dose-dependent decrease of the growth rate of C. maculatus associated with a steady reduction in bean mass losses. Additionally, inhibition of offspring was upper 50% when adults were exposed to lethal and sublethal concentrations. significant inhibition of the offspring emergence was achieved after the exposure of parental adults to lethal and sublethal doses of eugenol. Furthermore, adult weevils were repelled away from beans exposed to high dose (LD99) of eugenol in contrast with their attraction to the beans treated with lower dose (LD50). Our findings suggest that eugenol has potential as control tool to be used in sustainable management startegies of C. maculatus.

“…Kells et al () treated larvae of P. interpunctella with ozone for 3 d and obtained only 95% mortality because of low concentration (50 ppmv). The diverse responses of different life stage of C. maculatus could be due to the variation in their respiration rates, differences in body size of life stages and the sex of adults (Iturralde‐García et al, ). A significant correlation exists between the respiratory rate and the body mass of insects.…”

“…Storage of green gram and other legume‐based products is mainly affected by the insect pest infestations causing heavy economic losses. Callosobruchus maculatus is the major insect pest, causing considerable damage (loss in nutritional value, weight loss and failure of germination) (Iturralde‐García et al, ) in stored green gram, thereby diminishing its economic value. Management of C. maculatus has predominantly been relied on the use of conventional chemical pesticides including methyl bromide and phosphine.…”

“…However, methyl bromide was delisted from the use due to its ill effects on the humans and the environment. Continuous and improper use of phosphine resulted in the development of resistant weevil populations and accumulation of chemical residues on the grain (Flora, Byers, Plunkett, & Faustini, ; Iturralde‐García et al, ). Aromatic plant products including garlic, neem leaves, chillies, Murraya koenigii and peppermint have been extensively used to protect pulses from the insects of stored products.…”

Extending the storage life of legumes by protecting it from the Callosobruchus maculatus infestation is a major concern for the producers, processors and exporters. Legume processing industry requires “greener” alternatives to the conventional fumigants. Gaseous ozone has a great potential as an insect management strategy that is suited for this niche. Nevertheless, the efficacy of ozone against C. maculatus is yet unknown. A laboratory study was conducted to test the insecticidal effect of ozone in controlling the infestation of C. maculatus in green gram. We have determined the concentration of ozone exposure time–mortality relationship for all the stages of C. maculatus that were exposed to 500–1,500 ppmv ozone. The percentages of mortality for different stages of C. maculatus increased with the increase in ozone concentration and exposure time. It was documented that adult stage is least tolerant to ozone (500 ppmv for 274.40 min exposure required to kill 90%), whereas the most tolerant stage is pupa (500 ppmv for 1816.54 min is required to kill 90%). The results indicate that gaseous ozone is the attractive alternative to the synthetic fumigants.

Background: Stored grain insects are controlled with fumigant insecticides which can select resistant insect populations and cause environmental and applicator contamination. Thus, resistant cultivars and chemical constituents of essential oils are an alternative to the almost exclusive use of these insecticides. The effects of the combination of cowpea cultivars Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. with chemical constituents of essential oils against Callosobruchus maculatus were determined. Four cowpea cultivars: BRS Tracuateua, BR 17 Gurgueia, Epace 10 and Sempre Verde (insect rearing) untreated were used in the experiments and combined with chemical constituents of essential oil: eugenol, geraniol and trans-anethole. The biological parameters observed were: total egg number and eggs per grain, egg viability (%), insects emerged and insects per grain, immature stage viability (%), instantaneous rate of growth (ri), insect dry weight (mg), grain weight loss (%) and egg-adult period. Results: When comparing all biological parameters, the cultivars BRS Tracuateua and BR 17 Gurgueia were harmful to C. maculatus. In the toxicity tests, the results showed that LC 30 and LC 50 of the chemical constituents ranged from 54.77 to 103.48 ppm and 60.99 to 125.18 ppm, respectively. In most of the biological parameters, LC 50 had adverse effects significantly higher than LC 30 and BR 17 Gurgueia treated were harmful to C. maculatus. Conclusions: Overall, the findings showed that BR 17 Gurgueia combined with eugenol and geraniol more significantly affected the biological parameters of C. maculatus than when associated with trans-anethole, reducing egg number, insects emerged and egg viability.
