Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Polar solvent extracts from the two plants were significantly more toxic to weevils than solvent-treated grain.
- Intervention effect At 15 ml from 30 g/100 ml extraction, parental weevil mortality exceeded 75% and was higher than at 10 ml after 96 h.
- Intervention effect Grain damage after extract treatment was at most 1.33 during 56 days of storage.
- Intervention effect Grain weight loss after extract treatment was at most 0.28 during 56 days of storage.
- Recommendation The authors recommend the two botanical extracts for maize-weevil management in subsistence storage.
