“…are serious pests of pumpkins (Cucurbitaceae), the features of their biology are well known and described in detail. In accordance of the Western hemisphere investigations [Engelhardt, 1946;Eichlin, 1975;Canhilal et al, 2006] the larval host plants are species of the family Cucurbitaceae, including cultivars. Larvae are stem borers.…”

РЕЗЮМЕ. Установлен новый род Eichlinia gen.n. в трибе Melittiini (Lepidoptera, Sesiidae) Западного полушария. Новый род отличается от всех известных родов трибы сочетанием признаков мужских и женских гениталий. Представлен ключ для определения всех родов трибы Melittiini. Все неарктические и часть неотропических видов трибы Melittiini переносятся из рода Melittia в новый род. Предлагается предварительный каталог видов нового рода, который включает данные о первоначальных описаниях, информацию о номенклатурных типах, почти полную библиографию и современные знания о распространении.

“…Synthetic pesticides affect non-target insect species (Shiberu and Negeri, 2016), cause food and groundwater contaminations, pollution and pesticide residue, which accumulate in beneficial organisms and human beings (Georghiou, 2000). They have high costs and associated toxicity risks which discourage rape growers from integrating them in their pest management system (Canhilal et al, 2006). Farmers always complain of local unavailability of synthetic products, poorly labeled or packaged products, and also frequently adulterated and sometimes, some products being sold after expiry date (Stevenson et al, 2012).…”

Contact bioefficacy of lantana (Lantana camara L.) leaf extract (LLE) against rape aphids (Brevicoryne) and distilled water were the positive and negative controls, respectively. Treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD); 3 x 5 factorial arrangement, replicated 5 times. Adult aphids (10) were introduced to each plant. Aphid mortality at 6, 12, 18 and 24 h after application of treatments was evaluated. There was no significant interaction between seed brand and treatment at all times. Lantana treatments showed significant mortality effect (p < 0.001) on aphids at all times. The highest LLC (3 kg l -1 ) showed the highest aphid mortality at each period of time after application, and of all the periods, the longest time after application (24 h), showed the highest mortality (9.67). It is recommended that smallholder farmers use 3 kg l -1 LLC to control aphids on rape, and allow 24 h after application to get the greatest kill.

“…The indigenous knowledge system (IKS) is very important to the rural poor, vulnerable and marginalized population. More importantly, the high costs of synthetic pesticides and associated toxicity risks discourage vegetable farmers to integrate it into their pest management system (Schwab et al, 1995;Theunissen, 1995;Canhilal et al, 2006).…”

The study was conducted in the farming communities of Akure North and South Local Government Areas of Ondo State, Nigeria using pre-tested questionnaire/interview schedule, Key Informant Interview (KII), Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and observation technique to generate data on: the types of vegetables grown, the major pest species, farmers control method in the field with emphasis on plant-based formulations and farmers' perceived efficacy of the plant botanical formulation on field crop pests. The data were analysed and results presented with descriptive statistics. Results indicate that Telferia occidentale (Ugwu) ranked first among vegetable grown for food (85%) and income generation followed by Amaranthus hybridus (African spinach) and Okra in that order. The major field pests identified were leaf borers (Dysdercus superstitiosus), webbers (Sylepta derogate), leaf hoppers (Zonocerus variegatus), sting bug (Aspavia armigera), weevils, leaf caterpillar (Psara bipunctalis) and flea beetles (Podagrica spp.). The most prominent among the materials used in the preparation of some of the identified botanical formulations are Azadirachta indica (Neem) leaves, Piper guineense (Black pepper), and Nicotiana tobaccum (tobacco). These plants were combined together in the preparation of botanical formulations to prevent and/or control pest in the field. It was ascertained from our FGDs that 75.8% of the farmers were of the opinion that indigenous control methods were as effective as synthetic pesticides. Vegetable farmers in the study area were found to create habitat for insect/bird predators as insect pest control strategy. It is evident from the result that the critical challenge of almost all the farmers was inability to estimate what proportion the ingredients used in plant-based formulations should be combined. As a result, standardized techniques of preparation, bio-safety and environmental guideline for efficacy should form important consideration in formulating botanicals for pest control methods.
