“…(Iqbal et al 2018;Ozdemir et al 2020). Parasitoids such as Anisopteromalus (Hance 2007), Prostephanus truncates Horn (Helbig 1998) Dinarmus basalis Rondani (Boateng et al 2008) revealed efficient bruchid management. Some of these biocontrol organisms become an environmental hazard due to their persistence and some develop to be invasive to the environment, posing a threat to the natural inhabitants of the ecosystem.…”

Lablab ( Lablab purpureus ) [ Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet] is termed a lost, underutilized and neglected crop in Africa. Despite the multipurpose use, production, consumption and research are still limited. Wide genetic diversity of lablab germplasm exists in Africa. Diversity studies provide significant information for subsequent research programs and improvement. The advent of genotyping and sequencing technologies has enabled the identification of unique and agronomically important traits. Application of next-generation sequencing on lablab as a pioneer orphan crop is currently underway. This has enabled description of the whole genome, generation of reference genome and resequencing that provide information on variation within the entire genome. Information from these technological advances helps in identifying potential traits for biotic and abiotic stress for further breeding programs. Storage pests specifically bruchids ( Callosobruchus spp.), are considered a major obstacle in lablab production. Screening of available genotypes for bruchid resistance and studies on the physical and biochemical factors that confer resistance in lablab is required. Applying advanced technologies provides precise and reliable identification of the novel markers responsible for bruchid resistance allowing for introgression of important genes to breeding programs. This review provides a detailed analysis on the characterization of lablab and the information on bruchid resistance vital for breeding farmer-preferred varieties that possess agronomically beneficial traits. Concerted efforts and research on this neglected crop will enhance its production, utilization and consumption.

“…The parasitoid wasp, Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) found in stored yam chips by Vernier et al [7], is an important biological agent of several Bostrichidae larvae of stored products such as R. dominica [58], and P. truncatus [59]. Similarly, Dinarmus basalis Rondani (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), which is present in all the different regions of West Africa, was also found in stored yam chips [10].…”

In West Africa, Dinoderus porcellus Lesne (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) is a pest that attacks and spoils stored yam chips. Despite this fact, very little attention has been given to this pest, which could destroy up to 65% of stocks. In order to prevent any damages, farmers are widely using chemical substances for fighting against this pest despite their negative impacts on human health and environment. This chapter aims at proposing a solution approach and discussing the development of an integrated pest management strategy. The solution approach includes storage bags, varietal resistance, botanicals, and biological control. Further research should be done on the use of hermetic bags, essential oils, entomopathogens, insect growth regulators, pheromones, and their combined effects in the D. porcellus control.

“…L. distinguendus was found to have five generations each year in the laboratory, with final-instar larvae of the parasitoid overwintering in larvae of S. zeamais. The parasitoid Theocolax elegans (Westwood) has also been recorded to attack S. zeamais (Helbig, 1998). Both S. zeamais and S. oryzae are commonly parasitized by pteromalids (and occasionally other hymenoptera).…”

The maize weevil Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky (Coleoptera:Curculionidae) is an important pest of maize in storage in term of losses caused in food quality and quantity in Nepal. Attempt made to review bionomics and management practices of this pest gleaning published literatures/papers on national and international journals, proceedings, reports, newsletter and books. The paper discusses on nomenclature, morphology, distribution, biology and ecology of maize weevil and provides prospect of using various physical, sanitary, cultural, botanical, biological and chemical control measures to manage weevil. This information is useful to personnel involved on agricultural research and development for developing location specific integrated pest management approach of this pest. Finally, it also shows importance of farmers’ awareness on pest biology and ecology, appropriate maize harvesting time, storage structures and post-harvest handling practices to reduce losses in maize storage.
