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 5

Mortality rate of D. porcellus treated by topical application with acetone, propanol, ethanol, methanol, and aqueous extracts of B. ferruginea, B. sapida, and K. senegalensis and weight loss after 21 days (mean ± SE). Mortality rate was corrected using Abbott’s formula (4).
