Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Powders at 6.0 g and 8.0 g significantly increased cumulative mortality of Sitophilus zeamais on maize compared with other doses and the control.
- Intervention effect Powders at 6.0 g and 8.0 g suppressed weevil emergence compared with other doses and the control.
- Association Protection of grains against weevil attack was dosage-dependent, with higher doses giving higher resistance.
- Intervention effect Alchornea cordifolia performed better than Moringa oleifera and competed favourably with Permethrin and clay.
- Intervention effect Powder treatments had no deleterious effect on the germination potential of treated grains.
- Recommendation Higher dosages of 4g/50g, 60g/50g and 8g/50g of maize grains are recommended for effective insecticidal activity.
