Repellent Effect and Insecticidal Activities of Bridelia ferruginea, Blighia sapida, and Khaya senegalensis Leaves Powders and Extracts against Dinoderus porcellus in Infested Dried Yam Chips

Table 2

Mortality of adult D. porcellus and weight loss (mean ± SE) of yam chips treated with varying concentration of B. ferruginea, B. sapida, and K. senegalensis crude powders in 21 days after infestation. Mortality rate was corrected using Abbott’s formula (4).
