“…Insect infestation with dry fishes caused an increase in the anti-nutritional factors such as phytic acid, trypsin inhibitor activity and crude fibre as well as a decrease in starch and protein contents of stored produce. Although many synthetic chemicals are effective against the pests of many stored products, the general use of such chemicals to protect stored fish has been hampered due to health hazards, higher costs and less susceptibility of dermestid larvae (Amusan and Okorie, 2002;Odeyemi et. al., 2000).…”

As a source of high protein content, fish is one of the major categories of foods consumed by human beings. In Bangladesh, fish provides the main and the cheapest source of animal protein in the diet of all walks of people. The process of drying and salting have been practised for fish preservation through centuries. Feeding by the larvae and adults of Necrobia rufipes (De Geer) causes quantitative loss of dried or cured fish and also leads to fragmentation and to quality losses and contamination by insects' bodies and cast skins. In our present study, about 20% damage was caused by N. rufipes in a storage period of six months (April to September). For preservation of dry fishes, five plant based materials namely Neem, Nishinda, Eucalyptus, Turmeric powder, Mehagoni and ash were evaluated. Each of the plant leaf powder at a concentration of 5 gm was uniformly mixed with 50 gm Punti dry fish and placed in a Petri dish (10 cm diam.). Five newly emerged (0-24 hrs old) larvae and adults of N. rufipes were introduced into each Petri dish. Neem leaf powder exerted the best result followed by turmeric powder, Nishinda, ash, Eucalyptus and Mehagoni leaf powders for preventing the larval infestations. Turmeric powder exerted the best result followed by Neem, Euclyptus, Mehagoni, Nishinda leaf powder and mehagoni oil-cake for ceasing infestation of dry fishes.

“…Plant powders have been used to suppress the population of storage pests (Ogunleye et al, 2004;Ojo and Ogunleye, 2013). In this study, the observed high mortality recorded on cowpea seeds treated with the root bark may be due to the strong choky odours it produced which could asphyxiate insects by blocking the spiracles (Amusan and Okorie, 2002). Most insects breathe by means of trachea which usually open at the surface of the body through spiracles, the plant powders that were mixed with the seeds might have blocked these spiracles thereby leading to suffocation and death of the insect (Obembe and Kayode, 2013).…”

Insect pests cause a great deal of post-harvest losses of stored food products worldwide and especially in the tropics where food products are usually susceptible to attack by insects between the periods of harvest, storage and consumption. In the present study, powders obtained from different parts of Securidaca longepedunculata (Fres.) (leaf. Stem bark and root bark) were tested against the cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus in the laboratory at ambient tropical conditions of temperature and relative humidity. The powders were applied at 0.0 (control), 0.2, 0.4. 0.6. 0.8 and 1.0 g. Insect mortality was observed for four (days). The result obtained showed that mortality of the insect increased with increased in concentration and exposure time. The powder obtained from the root bark recorded the highest insect mortality of 71.25 % within 96 h of exposure at the highest dosage of 1.0 g this was followed by the stem bark causing 65 % at the same level of concentration. The LD 50 revealed the root bark powder to be the most effective as 3.17 % was required to obtain 50% insect mortality within 96 h of application as reflected by the regression probit analysis. The least toxic powder on C. maculatus was leaf powder. It was also observed that the tested powders significantly (P<0.05) reduced oviposition and percentage adult emergence when compared with the control. The results obtained from this research work showed that root bark of S. longepedunculata contains components of higher toxicity potential.

“…These plant materials are better than the synthetic insecticides in that plants powders and extracts are eco-friendly to human and the environment but synthetics are chemicals which are toxic to human health. [7] revealed that the ability of P. guineese fruit oil to protect dried fish from insect infestation could be due to the presence of Piperine. The use of this extract and powder may be the practicable means for the reduction of the production rate of D. maculatus.…”

“…In many African countries, smoked dried fish is being used increasingly to correct deficiency in the normal diet and often serves as alternative to fresh fish because of its nutritive and economic importance. In Nigeria, smoked dried catfish is highly favoured in many traditional dishes and healing of various ailments [7] [8] [9]. Dried fish is one of the highly digestible and respectable sources of proteins and essential minerals in the tropics and also highly susceptible to insect pest infestation [10].…”
