- W2315597060 abstract "Mineral oils are refined petroleum products. They have been employed as contact insecticides to control insect pests on various crops in many parts of the world. Three types – premium motor spirit (PMS), dual purpose kerosene (DPK) and automotive gas oil (AGO) at 0.4% were evaluated to assess their efficacy in the control of major insect pests of cowpea in two locations – Asaba and Abraka, Delta State. Influence of pest control on grain yield was also determined and comparison of the two agro-ecological zones in terms of insect species and yield was made. The study was conducted at both locations during the early cropping season (May – July) of 2005. The experiments were conducted at Asaba in the Teaching and Research Farm of the Agronomy Department, Delta State University while at Abraka on a piece of land about 100 metres to Campus 2 of Delta State University, Abraka. The experimental design was a randomised complete block design with five treatments and three replications. The results indicated that all the tested mineral oils effectively controlled M. sjostedti at 0.4% concentration. Similarly, M. vitrata was subdued by PMS and AGO at both locations. Grain yields were high in the two locations; however, Abraka yields were significantly (P<0.05) higher than Asaba. The present study provides the evidence that mineral oils are suitable bio-chemicals for cowpea insect pests control in Nigeria and should be tested further so that it could be incorporated into the pest management programme." @default.
