Background
The emergence of Anopheles populations capable of withstanding lethal doses of insecticides has weakened the efficacy of most insecticide based strategies of vector control and, has highlighted the need for further studies on the mechanisms of insecticide resistance and the various fa...

Cashew, Anacardium occidentale L. is an important export crop in Benin, but incurs serious damage from the cashew wood borer Apate terebrans Pallas. In spite of its economic importance, the population dynamics of this beetle have never been studied, thus precluding any science-based development a...

The Natural Resources Institute (NRI) and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) are collaborating to develop sex pheromone traps as monitoring tools for Maruca vitrata. The principal component of the pheromone is (E, E)-10, 12-hexadecadienal. Our trapping experiments in cowpe...

Potential use of the bushmint, Hyptis suaveolens, for the control of infestation by the pink stalk borer, Sesamia calamistis on maize in southern Benin, West Africa.
Three insect groups, known from the literature, were confirmed to make up a seed pest complex in cowpea fields in Benin Republic (West Africa). Several species of heteropteran pod‐sucking bugs (PSBs), two lepidopteran species, namely Maruca testulalis (Geyer) and Cydia ptyehora (Meyrick) and the ...
