Maize is highly vulnerable to infestation by the maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais). The widespread use of synthetic insecticides in pest management has raised significant environmental and health concerns, necessitating the exploration of sustainable, plant-based alternatives. This study evaluated the insecticidal, repellent, and emergence inhibition of methanolic extracts from Aframomum melegueta, Pterocelastrus tricuspidatus, and Bryophyllum pinnatum … more →
