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...
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...
Cowpea farming practices have been ongoing for millennia and have always faced various challenges including diseases, insects, and weeds, that lower its yield to no more than 200 kg/ha. This economically and nutritionally important crop has been a major research focus of the International Institu...
Synthetic sex pheromone traps for the legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), effectively attracted males in cowpea fields at Cotonou (lat. 6°25' N) in southern Benin, where pest incidence is observed throughout the year. However, the same pheromone lures caught ver...
Clavigralla spp. (Hemiptera: Coreidae) are major pests of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp, Fabacae), common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L., Fabacae) and pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L., Fabacae) in Africa. Clavigralla spp. egg parasitoids, Gryon spp. (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), have previously been...
Background: Knowledge on the spread and distribution of insecticide resistance in major malaria vectors such as Anopheles funestus is key to implement successful resistance management strategies across Africa. Here, by assessing the susceptibility status of an inland population of An. funestus Gi...
The fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda is a prime noctuid pest of maize on the American continents where it has remained confined despite occasional interceptions by European quarantine services in recent years. The pest has currently become a new invasive species in West and Central Africa wher...
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...
