Toxicity and spraying schedules of a biopesticide prepared from Piper guineense against two cowpea pests

Abstract: Oparaeke A.M. (2007): Toxicity and spraying schedules of a biopesticide prepared from Piper guineense against two cowpea pests. Plant Protect. Sci., 43: 103-108.The toxicity of three concentrations (5%, 10% and 20% w/v) and spraying schedules (2, 4 and 6 weekly applications) of an extract from West African black pepper, Piper guineense, for managing two major post-flowering pests of cowpea, Vigna unguiculata, was investigated in two cropping seasons at the Research Farm of the Institute for Agricultural Resear… Show more

“…Also, garlic leaf lectin (ASAL) has been found to have detrimental effect on growth and survival of two important homopteran insect pests, Lypaphis erysimi, commonly known as aphids and Dysdercus cingulatus (red cotton bug) (Bandyopadhyay et al, 2001). Neem, garlic and ginger extracts contain insecticidal properties that are lethal to a wide range of insects (Oparaeke, 2007). A mechanism of garlic extract effects based on the presence of an olerisine substance, a volatile oil and the antifeedant characters of garlic due to the presence of an essential oil (allyl propyl disulphide and daily disulphide) (Ben et al, 2010 andGhanim andAbdel Ghani, 2014) ).…”

“…The higher concentrations (10% and 20% w/v) and more frequent applications (4 and 6 week) significantly reduced the numbers of the two insect pests compared to the untreated control. Pod damage was significantly reduced and grain yields consequently increased in treated plots compared with the untreated control 23 . Traditional Indian tree neem oil is also a good insect-pest protectant.…”

“…The highest mortality (complete control) (100%) was recorded at the doses of 0.25 and 0.5 g of black pepper powder /50 g rice after 14 and 21 days post exposure. In this concern, Oparaeke (2007) found that the higher concentrations of an extract from West African black pepper, Piper guineense (10% and 20% w/v) and more frequent applications (4 and 6/week) significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the numbers of two insect pests (Vigna unguiculata and Maruca vitrata as two pests of postflowering period of cowpea) compared to the untreated control in two cropping seasons. Pod damage was significantly reduced and grain yields consequently increased in treated plots compared with the untreated control.…”
