Susceptibility of the Selected Crops in Storage to Sitophilus Zeamais Motschulsky in Southwestern Nigeria

Abstract: Susceptibility of the selected Nigerian cultivars of twelve crops to Sitophilus zeamaisMotschulsky was evaluated in the laboratory (28 ± 2°C temperature and 69 ± 5% relative humidity). The highest level of damage was observed in cereals and tubers. Millet suffered significantly greater damage than maize at 2-8 weeks after infestation (WAI). Damage done to maize was not significantly different from damage done to tubers at 6 and 8 WAI. Pepper, legumes and oil crops suffered significantly lower levels of damage … Show more

“…The difference in diversity of the encountered species was due to the variation in the studied crops, agro-metrological differences and farmers/merchants' chips handling methods. Babarinde et al (2008) had reported the infestation of cassava chips by S. zeamais, while Chinjindu and Boateng (2008) also reported A. fasciculatus in cassava chips. This survey has shown that seasonal variation affects the population dynamics of insect pests of yam chips.…”

“…Sebenarnya teknologi pengendalian hama kumbang bubuk dalam gudang sudah tersedia, misalnya dengan fumigasi menggunakan phosphate (PH3), metil bromida (CHBr), karbon disulfida, asam hidrisianida, fospin, etilen oksida, dan etilen dibromida, tetapi biayanya sangat mahal sehingga sulit dijangkau petani kecil, selain padat teknologi. Oleh karena itu, pemanfaatan insektisida nabati lebih prospektif untuk dikembangkan karena bahan bakunya tersedia dan pembuatannya mudah sehingga akan cepat diadopsi petani (Babarinde et al 2008).…”

“…Les essais ont été effectués au laboratoire; le dispositif expérimental utilisé était celui de Babarinde et al (2008). Au fond d'une boîte en plastique de 18 cm de diamètre, il a été collé à l'aide d'un adhésif (scotch à papier), un papier (papier A4) sur lequel il a été préalablement dessiné un cercle de 18 cm de diamètre.…”
