Bioecology of the cowpea pod weevil Piezotrachelus varius Wagner (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), and cowpea seed damage
The bioecology of the cowpea pod weevil, Piezotrachelus varius, and post-harvest seed losses were studied in the laboratory and in cowpea fields in the Western Highlands of Cameroon during the first and second cropping seasons of 1999 and 2000. Adult weevils appeared before flowering and fed on cowp...
