The objective of this work was to identify plant species that have toxic effects as a control method to Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) in cowpea. The ten species studied showed insecticidal activity against the bruchidio, and Cuminum cyminum and Aperculina macrocarpol showed approximately 100% mortality.The objective of this work was to identify plant species that have toxic effects as a control method to Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) in cowpea.
