Popis:	Crops in the Family Malvaceae are attacked by various insect pests especially Podagria species (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) at different stages of their development. The emergence of biodegradable pesticides (botanicals) as safe option has reduced the problems that result from the use of synthetic insecticides, thus creating a renewed interest in their development and use in integrated pest management of crops. Therefore, field experiments were conducted to investigate the control capability of water extracts of Piper guineense seeds and Cypermethrin on flea beetles (Podagrica spp.) infesting okra (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench). The experiments were conducted in two locations in the rain forest zone of Nigeria. The first experiment was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm of The Federal University of Technology Akure, Ondo State (2011 Early cropping season), while the second experiment was carried out at the Teaching and Research Farm of Rufus Giwa Polytechnic, Owo, Ondo State (2011 Late cropp...
