Flower bud thrips (Megalurothrips sjostedti) is one of the most damaging pests to cowpea in Africa and varietal resistance is one of the effective approaches to minimize the pest damage. Study was conducted to assess variability among 117 genotypes in addition to two resistant (Sanzisabinli and T...

Helicoverpa armigera is an indigenous species in Africa and has been reported in the destruction of several crops in Benin. Management of H. armigera pest is mainly focused on the use of synthetic pyrethroids, which may contribute to resistance selection. This study aimed to screen the susceptibi...

The complete 16,345-bp mitochondrial genome of the agriculturally destructive pod sucking pest, the giant coreid bug, Anoplocnemis curvipes (Hemiptera: Coreidae), was assembled from paired-end Illumina HiSeq 2500 reads. The A. curvipes mitochondrial genome consists of 13 protein coding genes (PCG...

Cashew, Anacardium occidentale L. (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae), is an important cash crop in Benin. However, its production is threatened by several biotic factors, especially insects. In Benin, very few studies have focused on insects and just listed species commonly found on cashew worldwide. Th...

Therophilus javanus is a koinobiont, solitary larval endoparasitoid currently being considered as a biological control agent against
the pod borer Maruca vitrata, a devastating cowpea pest causing 20–80% crop losses in West Africa. We investigated ovary
morphology and anatomy, oogenesis, potentia...

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...

Floral structures of six cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) cultivars were analysed for secondary plant metabolites (polyphenols,
terpenoids and flavonoids) to study their relationships with resistance to Megalurothrips sjostedti (Trybom). Polyphenols varied
significantly (P < 0.001) among the floral str...

The brown spiny bug, Clavigralla tomentosicollis Stål (Hemiptera: Coreidae) is a key pest of leguminous crops in many countries in Africa, causing significant yield losses especially in cowpea, pigeon pea and common beans. Although C. tomentosicollis uses olfaction to aggregate, little is known a...
