- Observation The major papaya pests recorded were Zonocerus variegates, Planococcus sp and Epilachna sp.
- Intervention effect Higher doses of methanol neem extract significantly reduced papaya insect pest populations.
- Intervention effect Higher doses of aqueous neem extract significantly reduced papaya insect pest populations.
- Intervention effect Bacillus thuringiensis treatments significantly reduced papaya insect pest populations.
- Intervention effect Bacillus thuringiensis significantly affected mortality of adult and nymphal Z. variegatus relative to control.
- Association Pest mortality increased as biopesticide dose increased.
- Intervention effect Methanol neem extract at 100 g/L induced the highest mortality of adult and nymphal Z. variegatus.
- Intervention effect Aqueous neem extract at 100 g/L induced the highest mortality of adult and nymphal Z. variegatus.
- Intervention effect B. thuringiensis at 1 g/L induced the highest mortality of adult and nymphal Z. variegatus.
- Intervention effect The highest neem extract dose yielded the least leaf damage on papaya.
- Intervention effect The highest B. thuringiensis dose yielded the least leaf damage on papaya.
