Termites are known to cause significant economic losses in yam fields. Therefore, assessing diversity and abundance of termites in yam fields is critical for their control. In this study, we compared the specific richness, abundance, and diversity of functional groups of termite pests in upland a...

Termites (Blattodea: Termitidae) diversity and assemblages in different yam fields habitats in central Benin
Stored yam chips are attacked by Dinoderus porcellus Lesne, which can cause significant losses. The predator Alloeocranum biannulipes Montr. and Sign. is a potential biological control agent of D. porcellus. The biology, predation and mating behaviour of A. biannulipes were investigated under lab...

Dinoderus porcellus is considered as the most important pest of stored yam chips and compounds extracted from plants can be used for its control. The present study aimed to test the insecticidal and repellent activities of powders and extracts of leaves of Bridelia ferruginea, Blighia sapida, and...
