- Intervention effect Topical 2.0 ml root extract caused 100% adult beetle mortality at 72 hours versus 99.2% with Dichlorvos.
- Intervention effect The 0.5 ml extract treatment had 7.5 eggs laid versus 20.8 with Dichlorvos.
- Intervention effect The 1.0 ml extract treatment had 8.0 eggs laid versus 20.8 with Dichlorvos.
- Intervention effect The 1.5 ml extract treatment had 11.8 eggs laid versus 20.8 with Dichlorvos.
- Intervention effect The 2.0 ml extract treatment had 6.5 eggs laid versus 20.8 with Dichlorvos.
- Intervention effect At 0.5 ml extract, 20.3 adults emerged versus 37.0 with Dichlorvos.
- Intervention effect At 1.0 ml extract, 15.5 adults emerged versus 37.0 with Dichlorvos.
- Intervention effect At 1.5 ml extract, 11.8 adults emerged versus 37.0 with Dichlorvos.
- Intervention effect At 2.0 ml extract, 9.0 adults emerged versus 37.0 with Dichlorvos.
- Association Oviposition was dose dependent under the root extract treatments.
- Association Contact toxicity was dose dependent under the root extract treatments.
- Association Mortality was dose dependent under the root extract treatments.
- Intervention effect Seed weight loss did not differ significantly under extract treatment.
- Observation Cowpea seeds coated with Moringa root oil germinated normally.
