Repellency and Reduction of Offspring Emergence Potential of Some Botanical Extracts against <i>Sitophilus zeamais</i> (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Stored Maize

Repellency and Reduction of Offspring Emergence Potential of Some Botanical Extracts against <i>Sitophilus zeamais</i> (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Stored Maize

Botanical repellents are, usually, considered safe to control <i>Sitophilus zeamais</i>, the main pest of stored maize, as they do not leave toxic residues in food, in addition to having lower costs than chemical insecticides. The aim of this study was to evaluate the repellency potentia...
