Effect of botanicals on insect pests of cowpea (Paperback)

The cowpea insect pests in the West and Central Africa, and various approaches to control them are reviewed with special emphasis on their advantages and disadvantages. The book discusses how far synthetic pesticides have created problems and how far these may be solved by alternatives from plants. This book will be an important tool of justifying the popular use of some savannah plants to combat insects, microbes or vertebrates in these parts of Africa.
