- Observation Weevils developed from egg to adult in an average of 35.4 days.
- Intervention effect None of the powders adversely affected weevil growth rate.
- Intervention effect The powders significantly repelled maize weevils.
- Observation C. citratus powder was the strongest repellent.
- Observation C. citratus treated maize had higher weevil mortality in the first week.
- Observation M. lucida treated maize had higher weevil mortality in the first week.
- Observation C. citratus retained stronger mortality action beyond the first week.
- Recommendation The authors identify plant materials, especially C. citratus, as potential protectants for maize grains.
