Potential use of the Bushmint,Hyptis suaveolens, for the Control of Infestation by the Pink Stalk Borer,Sesamia calamistison Maize in Southern Benin, West Africa

Abstract: Maize production in Benin, especially in resource-poor farmers' fields, is constrained by stemborers among other factors. One of the major stemborers in southern Benin is Sesamia calamistis Hampson (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). African farmers cannot afford to use commercial insecticides for controlling stemborers - they are expensive and unsuitable for durable pest management systems due to eco-toxicity. There is therefore a need for cheaper and environmentally friendly methods and botanicals offer an attractive … Show more

“…Sorting before the storage of crops is essential (Fandohan et al, 2005) since in large storage facilities the mold infestation can spread more easily between the different portions of the harvested crops (Hell et al, 2000;Williams et al, 2014). On the other hand, the correct cleanliness of the storage buildings is also critical (Adda et al, 2011), since if the storage conditions are not correct or even favorable for the growing and spreading of mold, it could lead to huge economical and financial losses or even medical crises (Hussein and Brasel, 2001;Khlangwiset and Wu, 2010). Inappropriately chosen storage parameters like concomitantly high temperature and humidity can propagate mold infestations.…”
