Abstract:

Biotic constraints cause major crop losses and, hence, food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa. This study documented the popularity, production constraints, pests and diseases, farmers’ perceptions on the severity of biotic constraints and the impact of related crop losses on household food security for the key root, tuber and banana (RTB) crops (cassava, potato, sweetpotato and banana). Farmer interviews were conducted in 2014 covering 811 households in Rwanda and Burundi. Farmers were asked to list their RTB crop production constraints, name insect pests and diseases of RTB crops, estimate cr

Abstract:

The emergence and rapid spread of the fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda in Africa having spread from its Native American since 2016 seriously threatens the food crop production of millions of smallholder farmers. In December 2016, the Kenyan government started experiencing the invasion of FAW threatening the food crop production in the country. Smallholder farmers have different household setups with gender differentials towards managements of any new invasive crop pests including FAW. From literature reviews, fall armyworm invasion can affect food production to zero production if not

Pests that are often a household problem in several cities in Indonesia are mosquitoes, rats, cockroaches, flies. Causes of settlement pests are dirty environments, food scraps, rubbish, and waterlogged gutters / ditches. The presence of pests in the house causes occupants to control pesticides. Pesticides are used primarily to control mosquitoes, ants, flies, cockroaches, mice and termites.

Two ultrasonic pest controllers, a pet-collar unit and a large unit for household use, were tested for their efficacy in repelling fleas and ticks in a choice chamber. Neither unit had any affect on the distribution of fleas or ticks in the choice chamber up to 24 h exposure, and activity of fleas, ticks and cockroaches was unimpaired. The study extends and supports previous findings that ultrasound is ineffective as a means of controlling common pests of households and pets.

Abstract:

Insecticides are designed to control insect pests, but they can also be toxic (poisonous) to desirable plants and animals, including humans. Some pesticides are so highly toxic that very small quantities can kill a person, and almost any pesticide can make people ill if they are exposed to a sufficient amount. Because even safe pesticides, such as those intended for household use, can irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or mouth, it is a good idea to understand how pesticides can be toxic so you can follow practices designed to reduce or eliminate your exposure to them.

Abstract:

Recent studies proved that the biofumigants could be an alternative to chemical fumigants against stored grain insect pests. For this reason, it is necessary to understand the mode of action of biofumigants. In the present study the prospectus of utilisingLantana camaraas a potent fumigant insecticide is being discussed. Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by Coumaran, an active ingredient extracted from the plantL. camara, was studied. The biofumigant was used as an enzyme inhibitor and acetylthiocholine iodide as a substrate along with Ellman’s reagent to carry out the reactions. Thein

The status of smallholder cocoa farms in Liberia's cocoa belt is investigated in the present study (Bong, Lofa, and Nimba Counties). Furthermore, the first part of the study focused on a household survey among cocoa farmers, with the results published in a separate report in 2016, and the second part of the study focused on road rehabilitation, cocoa marketing, and the state of cocoa farms. Farmers reported that the quality of their cocoa farms had improved slightly. Farm management practices remain at a basic level, resulting in low productivity (e.g., everyday input use and the predominance

The essential oils have broad-spectrum use over the world as non-chemical alternatives over the chemical fumigation in managing different stored grain insect pests. Exceptions are for organic products where use of fumigants is not possible then application of essential oils is the best preferred choice. However, their general commercial use needs to be explored over the world. The perusal of literature on essential oils indicated that the use of most effective natural products needs to be fully exploited for their potential use in the context of pest management in household and large scale gra

The increasing challenges associated with using chemicals in managing agricultural and household insect pests has prompted a re-evaluation of previous approaches and the search for new ones as alternatives or supplements to the present management programmes. The introduction and release of bio-agents, like fungi, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, and insects for the control of pests is a novel biological control strategy. Among bio-agents, the role of mermithid nematodes in insect-pest management has been considered. Mermithids are prime candidates for biocontrol of insects due to their adaptabili

Abstract:

The main reasons for low yields of oil cabbage crops are non-compliance with agricultural techniques and large losses from pests. Harvest shortages caused by pests are 30-40% or more, so the development of an effective, scientifically sound system of protection of oilseeds with modern cultivation technology comes to the fore. The main measures to protect oilseed crops from pests are pre-sowing seed poisoning and spraying during the growing season. Insecticides from the group of synthetic pyrethroids in terms of production and use occupy one of the leading places among chemical plant protection

Abstract:

In many human societies, domestic insect pests often evoke feelings of disgust, fear and aversion. These common feelings may translate to increased use of household pesticides. No study has ever explored this possibility and consequently, efforts to mitigate public exposure to domestic pesticides typically focus on addressing knowledge gaps. We tested the hypothesis that negative emotions toward insects may motivate people to use pesticides, by interviewing 70 participants and assessing their insect aversion levels using a computerized test. Contrary to our hypothesis, we found no effect of in
