The efficacy of garlic (Allium sativum), red pepper (Capsicum frutescens), and yellow pepper (Capsicum annum) alongside a synthetic insecticides (Rambo) was evaluated for their toxicity against cowpea weevils (Callosobruchus maculatus) and their ability on seed protection. The study was conducted at the Botanical garden of the Department of Biological Sciences, Adamawa State University, Mubi. Data collected was subjects to one way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the treatment means were compared using the Duncan New' Multiple Range Test (DNRMT) at 5% probability level P<0.05. The results showed that the treatments were effective in controlling adult C. maculatus on stored cowpea, and the treatments had no effect on seed protection as treated seeds performed significantly equal to the control (untreated). Therefore, it is recommended that the yellow pepper, red pepper and garlic could be used to control weevils on stored cowpea. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
