Three insect groups, known from the literature, were confirmed to make up a seed pest complex in cowpea fields in Benin Republic (West Africa). Several species of heteropteran pod‐sucking bugs (PSBs), two lepidopteran species, namely Maruca testulalis (Geyer) and Cydia ptyehora (Meyrick) and the ...

(1) The effects of the cassava mealybug, Phenacoccus manihoti Mat.-Ferr., on cassava, Manihot esculenta Crantz, growth, development and yields as modified by weather, soil water and nitrogen, and natural enemies were examined. (2) Rainfall-induced mortality and plant carbohydrate stress were the...

( 1 ) A model for the growth and development of cassava, Manihot esculenta Crantz, as modified by weather, soil nitrogen and water is described, and used in later papers to evaluate damage by exotic cassava pests and the effectiveness of control by natural. (2) Analogous relationships between t...

The interactions between cowpea and one of its key pests, Megalurothrips sjostedti (Trybom), were evaluated via a simulation model based on three modules building the core of the cowpea growth model, i.e. the time-varying distributed delay, the functional response acquisition function, and the me...

Modelling the interactions between cowpea and the bean flower thrips Megalurothrips sjostedti (Trybom) (Thysanoptera, Thripidae)

Stage-specific survival rates of cowpea seeds were evaluated in fields planted during both cropping seasons of 1991 and 1992 in southern Benin using Manly's regression model. Considerable seed damage could be recognised in all seed growth stages and reflected the variable pest infestations during...
