  • Laboratory Evaluation of Neem (Azadirachta Indica) Seed and Leaf

EGWURUBE1, B.T. MAGAJI AND Z. LAWAL Department of Crop Protection Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR), Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria 1Corresponding author’s e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Bioassay evaluation of neem (Azadirachta Indica A. Juss) seed powder (NSP) and neem leaf powder (NLP) against the larvae of Trogoderma granarium in stored groundnut was conducted under open laboratory conditions of 27oC and 70±10% relative humidity. Ripened neem seed fruits and leaves were collected from neem trees, adequately shade-dried, pounded and sieved to obtain fine powder. Treatments were applied at 2.5, 5 and 10% w/w Samnut-22 groundnut seed, with pirimiphos-methyl (2% Actellic dust) as standard check in addition to an untreated control. Larval mortality, progeny emergence, seed damage and viability were assessed. Results showed that NSP was next to Actellic dust in efficacy followed by the NLP; all significantly better than the untreated control in causing greater larval mortality, reduced progeny emergence and seed damage with no harm to seed viability. Actellic dust at 5 and 10% w/w was more effective than the plant materials as 100% mortality was achieved within 24 h post-treatment with no seed damaged. NSP treatment gave 100% mortality only at 10% w/w level with about 6.5% and 6.7% seed damage and progeny emergence respectively, while NLP was the least efficacious giving 50% mortality at 10% w/w, 28% seed damage and 33% progeny emergence in 24 h but better than the untreated control in all the parameters evaluated.

  • Khapra Beetle Trogoderma Granarium
    Khapra beetle Trogoderma granarium Description Considered one of the world's most destructive pests of grain products and seeds. Identification Adult males are 1.4-2.3 mm long, 0.75-1.1 mm wide; adult females are 2.1-3.4 mm long, 1.7-1.9 mm wide, ovate and densely hairy beetles. Head and pronotum are dark reddish-brown, elytra is reddish-brown, usually with indistinct lighter reddish-brown fasciae; venter of thorax and abdomen reddish-brown and legs are yellowish-brown. Antennae are yellowish-brown, 9, 10 or 11 segments, with a 3-5 segmented club. Habitat Native to India and South Asia. Wheat (Triticum aestivum), Barley (Hordeum vulgare), Oat (Avena Source: MISIN. 2021. Midwest Invasive Species Information Network.

Development rates and survival varies depending on the host, temperature, light, moisture, season, based on these factors there can be from 1 to 9 generations per year. Adult lifespan is between 12-25 days and females lay between 50-100 eggs. Larvael development usually takes 4-6 weeks. Larvae molt between 4-15 times. The pupal state lasts 2-5 days and quiescent adult stage lasts 1-2 days. Larval stage can last from a month to a year, if it enters diapause. They are capable of surviving without food for a period of several years.

  • Khapra Beetle EXOTIC PEST What Is Khapra Beetle? Khapra Beetle (Trogoderma Granarium) Is a Serious Pest of Stored Grain and Dry Foodstuffs Worldwide
    Khapra beetle EXOTIC PEST EXOTIC What is khapra beetle? Khapra beetle (Trogoderma granarium) is a serious pest of stored grain and dry foodstuffs worldwide. It can cause losses of up to 75% from direct feeding. Infested grain also becomes contaminated with beetles, cast skins and hairs from larvae, which can – be a health risk and are difficult to remove from grain storage structures and transport vessels. This beetle CALL THE EXOTIC PLANT PEST HOTLINE IF SUSPECTED IF HOTLINE PEST PLANT EXOTIC THE CALL is not present in Australia and poses a major threat to Australia’s grains industry. What does it look like? Khapra beetle adults are small (2-3 mm long and 1-2 mm Larvae on a maize kernal wide), brownish in colour with a smooth oval shaped body. thebeatsheet There are 3 transverse bands (markings) of pale colour hairs on the wing covers. Eggs hatch into small hairy larvae that can grow up to 7 mm long, are reddish brown in colour and darken as they mature. Larvae have characteristic long hairs all over their body, especially at the rear end and can survive without food for over 12 months. What can it be confused with? Khapra beetle is almost identical to the warehouse beetle, which is established in Australia, and some closely related native beetle species. If you find any beetle or hairy larvae fitting the description of the khapra beetle, have it identified by an expert. Adult khapra beetle What should I look for? PaDIL As khapra beetle is a stored grain pest it will only be found in stored products and around places where stored products are kept or transported.

Khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium interceptions and eradications in Australia and around the world Cheryl Day and Ben White Abstract The number of recorded intercepts and eradications of khapra beetle ( Trogoderma granarium ) have increased in Australia and the United States in recent years. Khapra beetle is one of the most destructive stored grain pests, and infestations can destroy the quality of grain and other commodities rendering the product unfit for human consumption. This pest can be easily transported from khapra beetle countries undetected as live beetles, eggs and larvae or in a state of diapause, with the transfer of people and goods around the world. Historically, discovery of khapra beetle post-border has generally resulted in costly eradication programs including methyl bromide fumigation and years of surveillance. Misidentification, failed detection or lack of preparedness has led to slow responses and at times the wide distribution of the pest prior to action.

A.&T., Kumarganj, Faizabad- 224229 (U.P.), India ABSTRACT Khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) is a serious pest of stored grains and stored products (groundnut, cotton, barley, rice, millet, sesame, sorghum, wheat, maize and cowpea etc.) with quarantine status is one of the invasive species feared around the world. Identification of adult khapra beetle on the basis of morphology is difficult due to its similarity with other dermestids, thus study of genitalia will specify the species and also aim at understanding its reproduction and fecundity. Damage can be severe with weight losses of between 5-30 per cent and in extreme cases 70 per cent. Besides weight losses it also reduces the grade of grain, unfit for consumption and may result in less profit for wholesalers. Apart from the destruction of grain dry products by Khapra beetle, ingesting products contaminated with body parts, setae and cast larval skins can result in gastro-intestinal irritation.
