Wetro, E.Tounou, A.K.Agboton, C.Datinon, B.Dannon, E.A.Srinivasan, R.Pittendrigh, Barry R.Tamò, M.[Bionomics of the parasitoid Apanteles taragamae as influenced by different diets fed to its host, Maruca vitrata]Bionomics of the parasitoid Apanteles taragamae as influenced by different diets fed to its host, Maruca vitrata

Current strategies to control insect pest problems in cowpea include, on the preventive side, host plant resistance and conservation biological control. Because very often these management options alone cannot provide adequate control, curative measures need to be taken, which include augmentativ...


Tamò, M.Srinivasan, R.Dannon, E.A.Agboton, C.Datinon, B.Dabiré, C.Baoua, I.Ba, Malick N.Haruna, B.Pittendrigh, Barry R.[Biological control: a major component for the longterm cowpea pest management strategy]Biological control: a major component for the longterm cowpea pest management strategy

Insect pests often develop resistance to insecticides, and such resistance represents a serious management problem. Devising methods that concurrently delay resistance and minimize injury by insects to field crops and stored grain has long been a goal of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). A center...

Maruca vitrata Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is a polyphagous insect pest that feeds on a variety of leguminous plantsin the tropics and subtropics. The contribution of host-associated genetic variation on population structure wasinvestigated using analysis of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidas...

(Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Populations on Cultivated Cowpea and Wild Host Plants: Implications for Insect Resistance Management and Biological Control Strategies

The brown pod-sucking bug, Clavigralla tomentosicollis Stäl (Hemiptera: Coreidae), causes significant damage to cultivated cowpea, Vigna unguiculata Walp, a staple crop in sub-Saharan Africa. C. tomentosicollis pierce and suck sap from cowpea pods, resulting in reduced grain yield and quality. Th...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata spp unguiculata) is adapted to the drier agro-ecological zones of West Africa where it is a major source of dietary protein and widely used as a fodder crop. Improving the productivity of cowpea can enhance food availability and security in West Africa. Insect predation ...

Cell-phone ready educational videos, translated into local languages, are a recent phenomenon in developing nations. One of the reasons for the emergence of this approach is due to the scarcity of other forms of educational materials with appropriate content for low literate learners. Additionall...

The insecticidal activity of Maruca vitrata (F.) multi-nucleopolyhedrovirus ( Mavi MNPV) combined with oil from neem, Azadirachta indica Juss and Jatropha curcas L. (Euphorbiaceae) was studied under labo- ratory and fi eld conditions against three key insect pests of cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L....

This article explores an innovative approach to deliver information about new agricultural technology that combines a versatile and potentially lower cost method of developing animated videos with another low-cost method of sharing it on mobile devices (i.e. mobile phone). It describes a randomiz...

The interactions between the cowpea aphid Aphis craccivora Koch, its parasitoid Lysiphlebus testaceipes Cresson and hyperparasitoid Syrphophagus africanus Gahan were assessed in the laboratory. Host age preference for hyperparasitism was evaluated using parasitized aphids of different ages (i.e. ...
