Abstract:

An integrated pest management scheme involving seed resistance and the application of powder of and as protectant against the seed bettle, (Fabricius), was evaluated in the laboratory at ambient temperature (29±3 C and relative humidity o ) (65±5%). Six resistant cowpea accessions selected from previous studies were treated with the six plant powders at 1.25% / in a 6x7 factorial arrangement fitted w w into a completely randomized design with five replicates. Seed treatment with any of the six plant powders on six accessions resulted in significantly higher adult mortality, lower oviposition rate, adult emergence inhibition, lower seed damage and higher seed germination over the control. Protection ability of the plant powders was influenced by the cowpea accessions used.
