Bioactivity of Tepa (Laureliopsis philippiana (Looser) Shodde) Powder to Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky Control in Laboratory

The maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky) is one of the most widespread pests and causes heavy losses of stored grain throughout the world. Control of this insect is primarily dependent upon continued applications of organophosphorus and pyrethroid insecticides and fumigants as phosphine but...
