“…Biological control by entomopathogenic fungi in the genus Beauveria is also still under investigation (Cherry et al 2005). Botanicals have shown potential for protection of stored cowpea against bruchid attack (Dabiré 1993, Dales 1996, Seck et al 1996, Murdock et al 2003, Dabiré et al 2008) but cannot be easily applied to large stocks of cowpeas.…”

The biopesticide Spinosad controls many insect pests of stored-food products. Laboratory and field trials were carried out to determine the efficacy of this pesticide against the cowpea weevil, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae), the main storage pest of cowpea, Vigna unguiculata, Walp, in West Africa. In the laboratory, Spinosad caused high mortality of adult C. maculatus and decreased the number of eggs laid by females. Spinosad, however, was less toxic in the 24 h treatment to C. maculatus than deltamethrin, an insecticide commonly used in Burkina Faso to control this insect. In "on-farm" experiments, Spinosad was effective in controlling C. maculatus. After 6 mo of storage, the number of insects emerging from cowpeas seeds was reduced by >80% by coating seeds with Spinosad but only by 43% by coating with deltamethrin. Less than 20% of the seeds were perforated in the Spinosad treatment compared with 29% for deltamethrin. Spinosad controlled C. maculatus throughout the 6 mo of cowpea storage whereas deltamethrin failed to control C. maculatus after 3 mo of storage. Spinosad has the potential to be more effective in controlling C. maculatus than deltamethrin.

“…Among the components of Z. zanthoxyloides earlier reported is the presence of highly pungent secondary metabolites, Zanthoxylol, as a phenolic compound reputed for insecticidal activity (Wongo, 1998). Botanicals have shown potential for stored cowpea against bruchid attack (Dabire et al, 2008). Grains in storage are damaged by several species of insect pests, the commonest being beetles and moths, leading to loss in weight and seed quality (Udo, 2011).…”

In view of the recently increased interest in developing botanical pesticides as an alternative to synthetic pesticides, this investigation was carried out to examine the insecticidal potentials of the Zanthoxylum Zanthoxyloides (Lam.) Waterm. (Rutaceae) Root Bark Powder against Seed Beetle, Callosobruchus 0 maculatus (F.). The experiment was carried out at ambient temperature of 28±3 C and relative humidity of 68±3% in the laboratory. Population suppression activities of Z. zanthoxyloides Root Bark Powder against Seed Beetle was recorded at 5, 7 and 10 g/150 g cowpea grains laid out in completely randomized design replicated four times including the untreated control. Plant products applied at rates greater than 20% of the grain weight would not be economically viable in suppressing the population of insect pests. The root bark powder was applied to assess contact adult mortality, adult emergence, percentage weight loss and percentage grains damaged. Application rates of Z. zanthoxyloides were found to possess insecticidal activity against adult seed beetle. Topical application of the root bark powder caused significant (P<0.05) increase in adult mortality, reduced adult emergence, reduced weight loss of the grains and offered protection of cowpea grains against damage in small scale storage. Highest rate of treatment significantly increased adult mortality of C. maculatus compared to lower rates at 2 DAT. From the results, it could be concluded that the adults of C. maculatus were susceptible to Z. zanthoxyloides root bark powder. On the whole application of the plant material was better than no treatment at all. Such findings would be helpful in promoting research aimed at the development of new agents for C. maculatus control. The plant powder could also, be incorporated in Integrated Pest Management approach against C. maculatus in storage.

“…Substantial losses occur rapidly in unprotected stores, caused by the development of several generations of bruchid larvae inside the seeds (Ouédraogo et al 1996). Damage includes weight loss of the stored crop and holes in the seeds causing a reduction in market value (Dabiré et al 2008). To preserve their crops, producers currently use synthetic pesticides that are expensive and potentially dangerous to both the environment and consumers (Ilesanmi & Gungula 2010).…”

“…Moreover, these storage containers are often semi-hermetic and are not well-suited to the use of EO that are very volatile (Ismam 2000). Therefore new storage containers are to be tested for their compatibility with the use of EO (Dabiré et al 2008). Finding EO-based formulations (e.g.…”
