“…In recent grain storage adaptability studies, similar result trends were observed by Koona et al (2007) when seeds stored in jute bags impregnated with aqueous extracts of L. camara recorded an 80% reduction in damage by bruchid beetles over a 6-month period. The fact that all the three botanical powders achieved more than 45% reduction in damage and amount of frass produced arising from adult P. truncatus insect feeding holds good promise for their adoption and rationalised use for grain protection in smallholder agriculture.…”

“…Thus, improvements to the main storage structure used by farmers, and using low cost inputs, i.e., locally-available repellent plant materials, could help improve farmers" food security. [14] confirmed that bags impregnated with plant extracts from Chenopodium ambrosioides and Lantana camara reduces legume damage by the insect pests Acanthoscelides obtectus and Callosobruchus maculatus. This method is simple and cost effective, particularly if the materials are locally available and inexpensive.…”

“…It is interesting to note that most of the respondents that reported using polypropylene bags to provide extra grain protection from pest attack were the one mostly affected. However, the finding of [14] and evidence from this survey provide ideal opportunity to research the potential for improving the efficacy of polypropylene bags (i.e double bagging) treated with locally available repellent plant material as a grain protectant against the most important pest, T. castaneum.…”

“…The soaked sacks are then dried before filling them with grain [45]. [46] had reported that jute bags impregnated with aqueous extracts from two insecticidal plants, Dysphania (Chenopodium) ambrosioides (L.) Mosyakin and Clemants and Lantana camara Linnaeus, significantly reduced seed damage to stored legume seeds by Acanthoscelides obtectus Say and Callosobruchus maculatus compared with the untreated control after 6 months of storage. Later work by [47] showed that 100 % cotton fabrics impregnated with neem chitosan nanocomposites, prepared using multiple emulsion/ solvent evaporation method, had increased antimicrobial activity than the other fabric treatments.…”

Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss.) seed oil (NSO) is acclaimed to have some form of insecticidal action against more than 400 insect species in at least 10 to 13 orders. The main delimitating factor in the wide acceptance of this well tested plant as a storage pest bioinsecticide is its foul sulfurous smell and bitter taste which impinges on the acceptability and marketability of treated produce. To ameliorate this shortfall, therefore, an assessment of the potential of impregnating different storage materials; [plastic containers (PLC), Bagco bags (BCB), Black polyethylene bags (BPB), white polyethylene bags (WPB) and calico bags (CAB)], with NSO in the management of Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) in stored Bambara seeds (Vigna subterranea L.), was conducted in the laboratory. The experiment was laid out in a 4 x 5 factorial arrangement fitted into a completely randomized design (CRD). Factor A represented four concentrations of NSO (0.00, 0.50, 1.00, 1.50 ml/ 100g seed), while factor B were the five different storage materials. The treatments were replicated four times Generally, seeds stored with impregnated storage materials recorded more bruchids mortality, reduced oviposition rate, decreased number of emerged insects (F 1 and F 2 ) and had less damaged seeds (and hence decreased weevil perforation index, WPI) than the control. Concentration performance was dose related though the highest (1.50 %) did not differ statistically (P=0.05) from the medium (1.00 %) concentration. Seeds stored in BPBs had the highest mortalities, but recorded the lowest in number of eggs oviposited, egg/seed ratio, F 1 , F 2 and cumulative emergence, respectively. These results differed significantly (P=0.05) with the seeds stored in other materials. BPB stored seeds were also the least damaged with lowest exit holes/seed, seeds with holes and WPI, respectively. The performance of BPB was closely followed by seeds stored in WPBs in all the parameters tested. Conversely, seeds stored in BCBs recorded the lowest mortalities but the highest in all other parameters assessed. Other storage materials (PLC and CAB) had better storage quality than BCB materials. Impregnation of storage materials with NSO could be a better option to direct seed application with its attendant drawback. The use of NSO impregnated black polyethylene bags, within the scope of the storage materials screened, to control damage by C. maculatus in stored Bambara seeds, should be encouraged.
