The Purdue Improved Cowpea Storage (PICS) technology has been disseminated in 30,896 villages in 10different countries in West and Central Africa from 2007 to 2012. Extension and supply chain devel-opment efforts were required to make the PICS technology available to millions of farmers and other...

On-farm augmentative releases of the parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor (Say) for controlling the millet head miner (MHM) Heliocheilus albipunctella (de Joannis) were tested in Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger from 2007 to 2009. In addition, a survey of farmers’ perceptions of insect pests, with particul...

The incidence of the key insect pest of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp), the legume pod borer Maruca vitrata F., was investigated with light trap in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Niger in 2014 and 2015. The results revealed that the first larvae appeared in August (0.03 ± 0.03 to 2.48 ± 0.32 lar...

The legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata, is an endemic insect pest that causes significant yield loss to the cowpea crop in West Africa. The application of population genetic tools is important in the management of insect pests but such data on M. vitrata is lacking. We applied a set of six microsat...


Agunbiade, T.A.Coates, B.S.Kim, S.K.Forgacs, D.Margam, V.M.Murdock, L.L.Ba, Malick N.Binso-Dabire, L.Baoua, I.Ishiyaku, M.Tamo, M.Pittendrigh, Barry R.[The spatial genetic differentiation of the legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata F.

Cowpea is a widely cultivated and major nutritional source of protein for many people that live in West Africa. Annual yields and longevity of grain storage is greatly reduced by feeding damage caused by a complex of insect pests that include the pod sucking bugs, Anoplocnemis curvipes Fabricius ...

The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, a moth originating from tropical and subtropical America, has recently become a serious pest of cereals in sub-Saharan Africa. Biological control offers an economically and environmentally safer alternative to synthetic insecticides that are being used fo...
