Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect The methanol fraction of Lantana camara extract gave the highest weevil mortality of 74% among the treatments.
- Association Weevil death increased significantly with longer exposure time to the Lantana camara oil.
- Observation The extracted oil from the three-solvent fraction had direct repellent and toxic effects on the weevil.
- Mechanism Repellency and mortality of weevils from leaf powder and extracted oil are attributed to bioactive and phytochemical molecules such as Phytol.
- Recommendation Lantana camara leaf powder and extract oil can be used for the protection of stored maize from Sitophilus zeamais infestation.
