Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect In the cold and dry season, leaf yield of the intercrop treated with ICIPE 62 was comparable to cowpea monocrop treated with ICIPE 62.
- Intervention effect In the short rainy season, cowpea-maize intercrop treated with ICIPE 62 had the lowest aphid infestation and damage.
- Intervention effect In the short rainy season, leaf yield of the ICIPE 62-treated intercrop was similar to that of the same treatment in the cold and dry season.
- Intervention effect Duduthrin insecticide in monocrop and intercrop did not reduce aphid infestation or cowpea damage in any season.
- Association The efficacy of the M. anisopliae ICIPE 62 biopesticide could be affected by season.
- Intervention effect The M. anisopliae ICIPE 62 biopesticide successfully controlled the aphid population in cowpea-maize intercrop under field conditions.
- Intervention effect The biopesticide did not affect aphid-associated natural enemies.
