COMPARATIVE PERFORMANCE ON INSECTICIDAL AND OVIPOSITION DETERRENCE OF CASHEW NUT SHELL LIQUID (CNSL) ON BRUCHIDS (CALLOSOBRUCHUS CHINENSIS L.) IN COWPEA (VIGNA UNGUICULATA (L.) WALP.) SEED

ABSTRACT


Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) seed is greatly affected by the pest called bruchids (Callosobruchus sp.) during storage. Search for organic based biopesticide for control of bruchids led to the use of Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL) that had an invigorating effect
on maintenance of seed viability. The seeds treated with CNSL recorded higher germination in 12 months storage. Number of eggs, number of insects and seed damage percentage were meagre in CNSL treated seeds but was comparatively effective to neem oil.
