Abstract:

This study evaluated the insecticidal efficacy of Moringa oleifera, Blighia sapida leaf powder, and Parkia biglobosa husk powder against cowpea bruchid (Callosobruchus maculatus Fabricius) and maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky) in a completely randomized design. the leaf powder was separately applied at 0.5 and 1.0 g per 20 g of cowpea and maize seeds in triplicate. Untreated seeds served as the negative control. Twenty (2-day old) mixed-sex C. maculatus and S. zeamais adults were introduced into cowpea and maize, respectively. Mortality was assessed post-treatment by 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 days. Percentage weight loss, seed damage, and first filial generation (F1) emergence were evaluated 28 and 40 days after treatment, while seed viability was assessed after 3 months of storage. Data obtained were subjected to analysis of variance, and treatment means were separated using the New Duncan's Multiple Range Test (NDMRT) at a 5% significance level.
          Results showed the potency of the botanicals against Sitophilus zeamais and Callosobruchus maculatus adults. Insect mortality increases with dosage increment and duration of exposure to the treated grains. At 4 and 7 D.A.T. Moringa oleifera leaf powder (1 g / 20 g) showed higher efficacy against cowpea bruchid and maize (70%, 100% and 93.33%, 93.33% ) than B. sapida leaf powder (60%, 98.33%) and P. biglobosa leaf powder respectively (53.33% and 95%). the botanicals leaf powders significantly (p< 0.05) reduced adult emergence, seed damage, and seed weight loss caused by C. maculatus and S. zeamais with no adverse effect on seed viability after 3 months of storage
