    This study evaluated the effectiveness of open vertical farming in increasing tomato yield and also recruiting the presence of ecological service providers in the control of whiteflies. The experiment compared the horizontal farming approach to novel outdoor vertical farm design. Using both raised and flatbeds to represent horizontal farm, tomato plants were grown in a spacing of 3.6 and 2.4 m2 respectively while the vertical farm covered a land space of 1.8 m2 having three arrays with array 1 at ground level, array 2 and 3 were elevated at 110 and 220 cm high respectively. Data collected included the numbers of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889) and predatory spiders and; tomato fruit yield (g). Results indicated that the mean number of predatory spiders in the vertical farm from 6 – 10 weeks after transplanting were able to supress B. tabaci populations when compared to the horizontal farm. The total fruit yield harvested indicated that the vertical farm produced more tomato fruit yield compared to the horizontal farm. It is plausible that the practice of outdoor vertical farming may be a step approach solution to land shortages and also a sustainable system for integrated pest management.

    Article Details: Received: 2020-10-10 | Accepted: 2020-12-28 | Available online: 2021-06-30 https://doi.org/10.15414/afz.2021.24.02.124-128 A laboratory study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of cashew nut shell extract in the control of cowpea bruchid, Callosobruchus maculatus (Fab.) under prevailing laboratory conditions. Fresh ethanolic and stored extract of cashew nut shell served as treatments which were compared with untreated control. Data collected on adult mortality, total number of emerged progeny (adults), number and weight of damaged seeds (seeds with holes) and undamaged seeds (seeds without holes) and percentage seed weight loss, and average number of seeds per 50 g in a container and the data were subjected to a two-way analysis of variance and significant different means were separated using Duncan`s Multiple Range test (DMRT) at 5% level of significance. The results revealed that treated plants generally performed better than the untreated. The different rates of treatment recorded significant differences (P <0.05) in causing adult mortality compared to the untreated control. The different rates of treatment also recorded significant differences (P <0.05) in emergence of F1 adults of each treatment compared to the control. It was also noted that the extract reduced or suppressed the weight loss and grain damage as a result of treatment with the extract compared to the untreated control. However, freshly extract of cashew nut shell recorded the highest adult mortality rate and lowest emergence while control had the lowest mortality rate and highest emergence of the insect. The rates of application were indicative of bioactive characteristics of the extract.

    &lt;div class="WordSection1"&gt;&lt;p&gt;A laboratory study was carried out to examine the efficacy of solvent extract of &lt;em&gt;Eucalyptus globulus&lt;/em&gt; leaves in reducing post-harvest losses caused by cowpea weevil&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;(&lt;em&gt;Callosobruchus maculatus&lt;/em&gt;) on cowpea seed variety RSH 256. 450 g of &lt;em&gt;E. globulus &lt;/em&gt;leaf powder were put in 1000 ml flask and 450 ml of n-hexane was used as the solvent. The extract was tested at dosages of 50, 100 and 150 µl 50 g&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; of cowpea grains on the weevil in stored cowpea. The different rates of treatment recorded significant differences (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.05) in causing adult mortality compared to the untreated control. The different rates of treatment also recorded significant differences (&lt;em&gt;p&lt;/em&gt; &amp;lt; 0.05) in emergence of F1 adults of each treatment compared to the control. The percentage masst loss and grain damage were also suppressed as a result of treatment with the plant material compared to the untreated control. However, among the treatments 150 µl 150 g&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; cowpea recorded the highest adult mortality rate and lowest emergence while control had the lowest mortality rate and the highest emergence of the insect. The rates of application were indicative of bioactive characteristics of the plant extract.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  • Effects of Boerhavia diffusa L. nom. cons. And Chromolaena odorata (L.) R. M. King &amp; H. Rob. extracts on some field insect pests of okra (Aabelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench)

    A field study was carried out to assess the efficacy of some botanicals in the control of field insect pests in two varieties of okra. Dry leaf extract of Chromolaena odorata (Siam weed) and fresh and dry root extracts of Boerhavia diffusa served as treatments which were compared with Lambda-cyhalothrin and a control. The experiment was fitted into a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data collected were subjected to Spearman’s correlation analysis and a two-way analysis of variance and significant different means were separated using Fishers Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at 5 % level of probability. The results revealed that treated plants generally performed better than the untreated plants as they were taller, had more leaves, branches, wider stem girths and gave higher fruit yield. Fresh root extract of B. diffusa performed better in most parameters measured. A significant positive correlation was observed between insect pest populations, and between growth and yield parameters, while there was a significant negative correlation between overall yield and insect pest population. NHAe 47-4 okra variety performed better than F1-Lucky variety. Fresh root extract of B. diffusa is recommended for management of B. tabaci (Genadius, 1889) and Amrasca biguttula Ishida, 1912 in okra.
