- Intervention effect Calotropis leaf powder caused significant mortality of C. maculatus at all tested concentrations, increasing with dose and exposure.
- Intervention effect At 2 g/kg, C. procera leaf powder caused more than 85% mortality after one day.
- Intervention effect At 8 g/kg, leaf extract completely inhibited C. maculatus F1 emergence.
- Intervention effect Leaf extract considerably reduced C. maculatus grain damage.
- Intervention effect C. procera leaf extract did not affect seed viability.
- Recommendation The authors propose C. procera powder as an alternative insecticide for stored cowpea grain.
