“…Approximately 50% of cowpeas are lost during storage for 3 to 4 months due to Callosobruchus maculatus infestation (Caswell, 1981 ). Infestation begins in the field but serious damage is done to the pods and/or seeds during storage (Hagstrum, 1984;Dongre et al, 1993). Application of synthetic insecticides and fumigants to grain in storage has led to resistance in insect pests in various parts of the world (Champ & Dyte, 1976;Georghiou & Lagunes-Tegeda, 1991 ).…”

The potential of 30 plant leaf or tuber extracts to protect pulses from attack by Callosobruchus mnculatus during post harvest storage was evaluated. Pulses were stored in gunny bags treated with I 0% aqueous plant extract and kept in individual containers harbouring newly emerged adult C. mnculatus. Mean number of eggs laid, adult emergence and seed weight loss were recorded. From the laboratory studies, ten plants were identified as effective in protecting pulses. Effective plants were tested in farmers fields. Aqueous extract from leaves of Melia azadirachta, Hyptis suaveolens and tubers of Cyperus rotundus effectively protected post harvest stored pulses without any infestation for up to 6 months.

“…Many targets, including acetylcholinesterase and octopaminic systems, have been proposed as the cause of killing insects exposed to fumigation with essential oils (Kostyukovsky et al, 2002;Enan, 2005a,b;Orhan et al, 2008;López & Pascual-Villalobos, 2010;Şenol et al, 2010). The cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) is an important pest that causes great damage to cowpea and other stored pulses (Casswell, 1988;Dongre et al, 1993). Many reports have been published on the insecticidal activity of essential oils against C. maculates (Negahban et al, 2007;Lolestani & Shayesteh, 2009;Aziz & Abbass, 2010;Hashemi & Safavi, 2012).…”

Mentha longifolia (L.) and Lavandula dentata (L.) (Lamiaceae) are two wild growing folk medicine plants that in Saudi Arabia. This work was conducted to investigate the chemical composition and evaluate the fumigant toxicity of their essential oils against the adults (3-5-day-old) of cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae). The main compounds in M. longifolia oil were pulegone (74.95%), 1,8-cineole (7.35%), l-menthone (6.62%), and eucarvone (2.68%), while the main constituents in L. dentata oil were camphor (61.43%), fenchone (24.3%), d-fenchol (2.15%), and linalool (1.52%). The two oils showed LC 50 values of 4.43 and 7.92 µl/L air and exhibited antiacetylcholinesterase activity with IC50 values of 1.01 and 9.74 µl/ml, respectively. The results proved the potential use of these natural materials as effective alternatives to synthetic pesticides.

“…Species using Cajaninae (with the exception of C. chinensis ) do not use Phaseolinae even though Vigna are abundant in many of the areas occupied by these species (Tuda et al ., unpublished). In contrast, C. maculatus and other Phaseolinae‐using species are capable of utilizing some Cajaninae species as well, at least in the laboratory (Janzen 1977; Dongre et al . 1993).…”

“…While the hardness of dried seeds per se can serve as a deterrent against seed predators, including seed beetles of the family Bruchidae (Janzen 1977; Southgate 1979; Kitch et al . 1991; Dongre et al . 1993), the loss of toxic chemicals during postmaturity drying processes may also increase survival of such granivores.…”

Evolutionary diversification of the bean beetle genus Callosobruchus (Coleoptera: Bruchidae): traits associated with stored‐product pest status

et al. 2006

Despite the fact that many plant-feeding insects are pests, little effort has been made to identify key evolutionary trait transitions that allow taxa to acquire or lose pest status. A large proportion of species in the genus Callosobruchus are economically important pests of stored, dry postharvest beans of the tribe Phaseoleae. However, the evolution of this feeding habit is poorly understood. Here, we present a reconstruction of the phylogeny of the Asian and African Callosobruchus based on three mitochondrial genes, and assess which traits have been associated with the evolutionary origin or loss of ability to reproduce on dry beans. Our phylogenetic analysis showed that species group into the chinensis and the maculatus clades, which are also supported by genital morphology, and an additional paraphyletic group. Ancestral ability to use dry beans has been lost in the chinensis clade but acquired again in C. chinensis. Dry-bean use and host-plant use were both phylogenetically constrained and transitions in the two were significantly correlated. Host shifts from the subtribe Phaseolinae to Cajaninae were more common than the reverse and were more likely in species using young beans. The ability to use dry beans was more likely gained when using Phaseolinae hosts and promoted habitat shifts from tropical to temperate regions. Adaptation to arid climate was also associated with the ability to reproduce on dry beans and on Phaseolinae. Thus, our analysis suggests that physiological adaptations to an arid climate and to Phaseolinae hosts both render beetles predisposed to become pests of cultivated beans.
