Other claims from this paper (16)
- Observation Phytochemical analysis of powders of three spice plants indicated alkaloids, saponins, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, tannins and terpenoids.
- Observation Tannin was absent in turmeric.
- Observation Terpenoid was absent in ginger and garlic.
- Intervention effect Ginger treatment gave the highest weevil mortality and turmeric the least.
- Intervention effect Ginger powder reduced the introduced C. maculatus population of 50 to a mean of 16.5 alive.
- Intervention effect Garlic powder reduced the introduced C. maculatus population of 50 to a mean of 24.8 alive.
- Intervention effect Turmeric powder reduced the introduced C. maculatus population of 50 to a mean of 32.4 alive.
- Intervention effect Weevil longevity was 14 days with turmeric.
- Observation No weevil mortality was recorded in the control for 42 days.
- Intervention effect Ginger powder gave a mean number of holes on the seeds of 16 ? 1.33.
- Intervention effect Garlic powder gave a mean number of holes on the seeds of 41 ? 2.13.
- Intervention effect Turmeric powder gave a mean number of holes on the seeds of 83 ? 3.04.
- Intervention effect Seeds treated with turmeric powder had a lower average weight loss (25.7 ? 1.67) than the control.
- Intervention effect Seeds treated with garlic powder had a lower average weight loss (15.0 ? 1.29) than the control.
- Intervention effect Seeds treated with ginger powder had a lower average weight loss (6.0 ? 0.82) than the control.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that powders of these three plants are an alternative to chemical insecticides for preserving stored cowpea.
