EVALUATION OF THE POWDER OF Piper guineense AND Pirimiphos-methyl FOR THE CONTROL OF COWPEA STORAGE WEEVILS (Callosobruchusmaculatus)
ABSTRACT The insecticidal effects of Piper guineense and Pirimiphos-methyl was evaluated on cowpea. The treatments used were P. guineenseat 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1g as well as Pirimiphos-methyl at 0.1g per 20g of cowpea seeds, each laid out in Complete Randomized Design (CRD) in the laboratory. Results indicated that P. guineense at 1g concentration significantly (P
