(coleoptera: bruchidae), in stored cowpea seeds KW - Cowpea weevil KW - Control KW - Cowpea KW - Diseases and pests KW - Monoterpenes N1 - Includes references N2 - In the present study the contact and fumigant toxicities of seven monoterpenes namely, (R)-carvone, 1-8-cineole. cuminaldehyde, (S)-tenchone, geraniol, (S)-Hmonene and (R)-linalool, were evaluated against the adults of Callosobruchus macuatus F. The potential of the most effective monoterpencs for control the insect in stored cowpea seeds was also examined. The tested monoterpenes showed potent contact toxicity against the adults of C. maculatus within 24 h of exposure UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2010/AJARX/5510/3/43.pdf ER -
