Article Synopsis
- The study examined how vapor from 2-tridecanone, a compound from the Pilocarpus microphyllus plant, affects the cowpea weevil's life cycle.
- Different concentrations (undiluted, 1:10, 1:100, 1:1,000) of 2-tridecanone were tested on infested cowpea seeds.
- Results showed that higher doses significantly reduced egg production, hatching success, and adult emergence, indicating the compound's effectiveness as an insecticide mainly by killing the eggs.
