Abstract
The present work was
carried out to evaluate the toxicity of katel-sous dust and clove powder and
its combinations. Evaluation has been conducted on Callosobruchus maculatus (F.)
adults to determine the toxicological effect and the changes in insect biology
caused by these products. The results referred to the availability to use these
products to control cowpea seed beetle and consider clove powder as
spiracle-blocking insecticides. Clove powder and katel-sous dust and its
combinations made a sharp reduction in the number of eggs laid and the number
of adults emerged. Mixing clove powder with katel-sous dust was helping in
using katel-sous dust in pest management without any problems such as; its high
concentration which caused suffering from the expensive costs and hardly remove
the dust.
