Insecticidal activities of the African yam bean seed lectin on the development of the cowpea beetle and the pod sucking bug

The cowpea beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus, and pod-sucking bug, Clavigralla tomentosicollis, are two of the major insect pests of cowpea in Africa. A lectin was purified from the seeds of the African yam bean (AYB), Sphenostylis stenocarpa, by affinity chromatography on Galactosc-Sepharose 4B. The...
