The legume pod borer, M. testulalis, and its principal host plant, Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp Use of selective insecticidal sprays as an aid in the identification of useful levels of resistance
Cowpea varieties were evaluated for resistance to Maruca testulalis using differential insecticide sprays that provided a range of pest densities and crop damage. The latter was expressed as a pod evaluation index, Ipe, which uses the degree of pod production or pod load (PL) and pod damage (PD). Th...
