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...

The legume pod borer Maruca vitrata Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is a serious pest of cowpea in West-Africa. The parasitoid Apanteles taragamae Viereck (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) that originates from Taiwan is a potential candidate for biological control of M. vitrata. We investigated under ...

The larval parasitoid guild of the cowpea pod borer Maruca vitrata was studied on wild and cultivated host plants in Southern and Central Benin, West Africa. A total of eight parasitoids, seven of which belonging to the Hymenoptera: Braconidae, and one to the Diptera: Tachinidae, were observed ex...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata Walp.) is the most economically important legume crop in arid regions of sub-Saharan Africa. Cowpea is grown primarily by subsistence farmers who consume the leaves, pods and grain on farm or sell grain in local markets. Processed cowpea foods such as akara (a deep-fat f...

The bioactivity of water and methanol extracts of Alstonia booneii stem bark against Maruca vitrata Fabricius, was studied in the laboratory through a bioassay. When incorporated into the artificial diet at 0.0% (control), 1.0%, 2.5 %, 5.0 %, and 10.0 % concentrations, respectively, both extrac...

The incidence of the key insect pest of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp), the legume pod borer Maruca vitrata F., was investigated with light trap in the Sudano-Sahelian zone of Niger in 2014 and 2015. The results revealed that the first larvae appeared in August (0.03 ± 0.03 to 2.48 ± 0.32 lar...

Trials were conducted in Kano, northern Nigeria, during 1996 and 1997 cropping seasons to determine the influence of date of planting and two well-timed insecticides sprays on the incidence of major insect pests namely, the legume pod-borer, Maruca vitrata Fab., legume flower thrips, Megalurothri...

Des essais ont été conduits durant les saisons culturales de 1996 et 1997 à Kano au nord du Nigeria pour déterminer l'influence de la date de plantation et la pulverization de deux insecticides bien connus sur l'incidence des principaux insectes à savoir les boreurs des gousses des légumineuses, ...

Les insectes ravageurs constituent une contrainte importante à la production du niébé au Burkina Faso. La présente étude visait à fournir aux producteurs une stratégie de lutte intégrée combinant la résistance variétale vis-à-vis de Clavigralla tomentosicollis Stäl et des pulvérisations d’amandes...

Insect pests are important constraints to cowpea production in central Burkina Faso. The main goal of this study was to provide an IPM strategy based on combination of resistant varieties to the pod sucking bug, and the application of neem seed extract against flower thrips (Megalurothrips sjoste...
