“…Nevertheless, records especially on the effects of seed damage on oviposition and survival of C. maculatus are somewhat inconsistent. For example, [15] in their experimentations on twenty-two cowpea varieties (five less susceptible, four moderately susceptible, and thirteen most susceptible) with and without seed coat, and on ten Bambara groundnut varieties respectively stated that seed coat had no importance in protecting cowpea and Bambara groundnut seeds from attack by C. maculatus. They suggested that the growth and development of C. maculatus in cowpea and Bambara groundnut depends on the nutritional contents of the seeds.…”

The study was carried out to assess the effect of Callosobruchus maculatus infestation on selected Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranean) landraces in Gombe during storage to determine the Landrace (s) that are less susceptible to infestation caused by C. maculatus during storage. The trial was done in the Botany laboratory of Gombe State University, Gombe. Seeds were collected from five different Landraces, 40 grams each of healthy and C. maculatus infestation free seeds were infested with two males and three females. Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replicates was used to assess the effects of C. maculatus infestation on the selected landraces of Bambara groundnut during storage. The results of the analysis of variance displayed significant differences (p≤ 0.05) among the parameters studied. It indicated that the Mottled and Cream landraces are relatively less susceptible and witness lower damage from the bruchids attack 14.6 (36%) and 17 (46%), whereas Red and Black landraces are more susceptible 24 (61 %) and 22 (57 %) (recorded higher damage from the C. maculatus in terms of percentage weight loss recorded). These results showed the existence of variation among the different Bambara groundnut landraces used due to the infestation of C. maculatus. It can be observed from this study that the use of infestation free landraces at storage time may perhaps be a worthwhile and auspicious factor for integrated pest management especially on bruchids in Bambara groundnuts. additionally, Mottle and Cream landraces might be employed as sources of resistance genes for the subsequent plant improvement program.

“…Farmers have indicated that the palatability of Kersting's groundnut grains and the fragility of their seed coat favor the attacks of insect pests in stocks. In fact, some studies shown that high sugar content (Kosini, Saidou, & Nukenine, 2017;Podoler & Applebaum, 1971) and low thick seed coat (Desroches, El Shazly, Mandon, Duc, & Huignard, 1995;Janzen, 1977;Souza et al, 2011) allow rapid bruchid penetration. It is therefore important for breeders to consider farmers perception on the factors favoring the attack of Kersting's groundnut seeds by insects in the establishment of their varietal improvement program for the benefits of farmers and consumers.…”

Background: Macrotyloma geocarpum Harms is a neglected and underutilized crop in Benin subject to several constraints including storage insect attacks, which contribute to the decrease in its production. An ethnobotanical survey using a semi-structured questionnaire was conducted in 15 villages in southern and central Benin to document farmers' perceptions of M. geocarpum storage insect pests and their traditional management practices. Results: The results showed that insect pest were the most important storage constraint of M. geocarpum. To overcome this constraint, the promotion of resistant landraces has been proposed by farmers. Six vernaculars names of storage insect pests of M. geocarpum were identified throughout the study area and all corresponding to Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) which proved to be the most abundant insect in the stocks. Palatability and fragility of seeds coat have been identified by farmers as the main factors favoring the infestation by this pest. Various storage containers of M. geocarpum have been inventoried. Our study revealed that education, storage containers, and Kersting's groundnut landraces significantly influenced farmers' perceptions of severity of insect pest damages. The use of chemicals and repellent plants were the main control methods used by farmers to protect stocks. Different levels of resistance of M. geocarpum landraces to storage insect pests were reported. Conclusions: This study provides baseline information for development of integrated management approaches against storage insect pests of M. geocarpum. The perceived level of resistance to insect damage on Kersting's groundnut landraces needs to be investigated.

“…Host plant resistance or tolerance is crucial in managing the insect pests of agricultural crops and is an indispensable part of integrated pest management (Eigenbrode & Trumble, 1994). Diverse biophysical and biochemical properties enhance the resistance in plants, but exceptions can happen depending on the type of crop and environment (Kosini et al., 2017). The advancements in crop breeding technology make it easier to develop new high‐yielding varieties of a crop based on the local environment and demand.…”

Plant biophysical and biochemical properties play important roles to explore the resistance sources against thrips. In this study, we investigated the effect of trichomes and biochemical contents of 11 mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) varieties to search for the most resistant varieties against the incidence and damage of two thrips species, Megalurothrips usitatus and Thrips palmi. Resistance was quantified by examining the incidence of the thrips on different plant parts regarding the trichomes and biochemical content of the varieties. Further, the extent of damage by the thrips species and the effects on yield of the selected varieties were examined. All the 11 mung bean varieties were attacked by both the thrips during vegetative and flowering stage, however, lowest incidence occurred in BARI Mung-7 followed by BARI Mung-8 and BU Mug 2. The lower incidence was associated with higher trichomes and biochemicals content of the same varieties, as thrips population showed significant negative relationships with trichome density, moisture, chlorophyll (a+b), potassium, and phenol content. Although several biochemicals had negative effects, the increasing total soluble sugar content in leaves increased the incidence of both M. usitatus and T. palmi. There was no variation in phosphorous content in the leaves of the 11 varieties. Significant variations were detected in damaging the flower bud, flower infestation, and shedding by thrips which affected the yield of mung bean. Negative responses of thrips to the increasing trichomes, moisture, chlorophyll, phenol, and potassium in mung bean suggest the significance of these properties to develop resistant varieties against thrips.
