Effect of plant extracts on insect pests of common beans

Abstract

AbstractThe effect of extracts from neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) seed kernels, neem leaves, tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) leaves and hot pepper (Capsicum annuum) fruits on the incidence and damage of insect pests of common beans was investigated under field conditions. Aqueous extracts from neem seed kernels and hot pepper fruits caused general deterrent effects including antifeedant effect in foliar beetle Ootheca bennigseni, larvae of pod borers Maruca testulalis and Heliothis armigera and other important insect pests of beans. Plots treated with neem seed kernel and hot pepper fruit extracts were relatively less damaged and had a significant lower incidence of insect pests. Results indicate that both neem seed kernels and hot pepper fruit extracts have potentials in giving good protection of beans from insect pests; they are indigenous, safe and readily available to farmers in Tanzania.ZusammenfassungZur Wirkung von Pflanzenextrakten auf schädliche Insekten an BohnenEs wurden unter Freilandbedingungen die Wirkungen von Extrakten aus Samen und Blättern des Neem‐Baumes (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) und aus den Blättern der Tomate (Lycopersicon esculentum) sowie aus Früchten der Paprika (Capsicum annuum) auf einige an Bohnen schädliche Insekten untersucht. Wäßrige Extrakte von Neem‐Samen und Paprikafrüchten wirkten im allgemeinen abschreckend beim Blattkäfer Ootheca bennigseni, bei Larven von Maruca testulalis und Heliothis armigera sowie bei anderen wichtigen Bohnenschädlingen. Versuchsflächen, die mit Neem‐ und Paprika‐Extrakten behandelt waren, wurden relativ weniger geschädigt und von einer signifikant geringeren Zahl Insekten befallen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß sowohl Neem‐ als auch Paprika‐Extrakte grundsätzlich imstande sind, Bohnen vor Schadinsekten zu schützen. Sie sind für die Farmer in Tansania verfügbar und ihre Handhabung ist sicher.
