“…Its seeds are rich in lysine and methionine, but bambara groundnut is available in very low amount to consumers [1]. It is also highly caloric plant with 387 kcal/ 100 g, rich in vitamins, minerals and very balanced protein components [1,2]. Report has it that the seed contains about 63% carbohydrate, 19% protein and 6.5% oil [3].…”

“…Again, Azadirachta indica, Schinnus molle, and Phytolacca odecandra extracts were found to produce high percentage larval mortality (>95%) against Fall Armyworm (FAW) after 72 h application [11]. Lemon grass (Cymbopogoncitratus) leaf extracts also protected bambara ground nut better than Jatropha (Jatropha curcas) against field pest [2]. Azad and Sarker [12] reported that Nicotiana tabacum and Ficus hispida extracts have effective performance against pest attack in eggplant field [12].…”

This research reports the novel bioactivities of neem leaves powder, neem leaves concentrate, neem seeds powder and neem seeds oil against the weevil (Callosobruchus maculatus) on bambara groundnut. The leaves were ground, crushed and subjected to ethanol to get the concentrate. While the seeds were dried under shade for one week, ground into fine particles. Cold bulk extraction was then used to obtain the neem seeds oil. The mortality count of Callosobruchus maculatus (C. maculatus) was studied by exposing the weevil to neem treated bambara groundnut at different days under laboratory condition. The neem dosage were 0.0, 0.1, 0.5 1.0 g/10 g of bambara groundnut. The percentage weight loss and seed damage were also determined at the end. The results indicated that neem seeds oil and neem leaves concentrate provided effective and comparable mortality counts against the C. maculatus. Again the neem powder (seeds and leaves) mortality counts were also comparable, but were less effective against the weevils as compared to the neem oil and concentrate at least for the first two days. Therefore, these neem materials could be used as biopesticides at the dose of 0.1 per 10 g to prevent C. maculatus attack on bambara groundnut during storage. This will reduce the usage of synthetic pesticides, thereby preventing their adverse residual effects on human and the environment.

“…The groundnut hopper, Hilda patruelis Stal (Homoptera: Tettigometridae) are polyphagous sucking bug widely distributed in Africa (Minja et al, 1999;Rao et al, 2013). Groundnut leafhopper is one of the important insect pests of bambara groundnuts severely affecting their productivity (DAFF, 2016;Uddin et al, 2017). They usually attack plants at the ground and or below the ground level (Minja et al, 1999).…”

A randomized complete block design (RCBD) experiment was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Bidens pilosa, Lantana camara, Vernonia amygdalina, Tithonia diversifolia, Tephrosia vogelii and Lippia javanica against field pests of bambara groundnuts. The extracts were prepared by dissolving powder of the plants leaves at the concentration of 10% (w/v) in tap water containing 1% soap and left for 24 hours. Then, extracts were sprayed on 2 weeks seedlings of bambara groundnut and assessment of the abundance of insect pests and beneficial arthropods and plant damage was conducted weekly for 15 weeks. The results showed that pesticidal plants significantly (P ≤ 0.05) reduced the abundance of foliage beetles, aphids, mealybugs, red spider mites, and leafhoppers and caused significantly (P ≤ 0.05) less threat to ladybird, hoverfly, wasps and spiders. A storage experiment was conducted to assess the insecticidal effectiveness of B. pilosa, L. camara, T. vogelii, V. amygdalina, L. javanica, T. diversifolia and Croton dichogamus leaves powder on Callosobruchus maculatus. The pesticidal plants powder were admixed with grains at the dosage of 10% (w/w) and compared with actellic dust and untreated control. The experiment was monitored for 6 months. T. vogelii and actellic dust were the most effective treatments by killing 93.07 - 100% and 91.33 - 100% of bruchids respectively for 180 days of the study. Therefore, Tephrosia vogelii is recommended in controlling field and post-harvest pests in bambara groundnuts. Further research is recommended to assess the active compounds, mode of action and toxicity of T. vogelii and assess its effect on non-target organisms in bambara groundnuts.

Bambara groundnuts (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) is an important leguminous crop native in Africa and is mainly cultivated for its highly nutritious grains. However, bambara groundnuts production is constrained by many insect pests including aphids (Aphids sp.), leaf hopers (Hilda patruelis), foliage beetles (Ootheca mutabilis), pod sucking bugs (Clavigralla tomentosicollis), red spider mites (Tetrunychus sp.), groundnut jassids in the field and bruchids (Callosobruchus maculatus, and Callosobruchus subinnotatus) in the storage. Smallholder farmers usually apply synthetic pesticides to control those insect pests. However, synthetic pesticides are potentially harmful to the environment, non-targeted animals and human's health. Pesticidal plants such as B. pilosa, L. camara, T. vogelii, V. amygdalina, L. javanica, T. diversifolia, and C. dichogamus which are available in most parts of Africa where How to cite this paper: Tlankka, N.S., Mbega, E.R. and Ndakidemi, P.A.
