Effect of augmentative releases of the parasitoid, Habrobracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) using plastic cups on Heliocheilus albipunctella De Joannis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in the Sahelian region of Burkina Faso
Kaboré A, A Boly, A Waongo, A Sanou, F Traoré, C Dabiré-Binso, A Sanon, M N Ba
The most important insect pest of the millet crop in Burkina Faso is the Millet Head Miner (MHM), Heliocheilus albipunctella De Joannis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). To reduce its damage, the use of the parasitoid, Habrobracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) constitutes the most promising control strategy. The present study aims to know the(...)

Insecticidal and Anti-Feeding Activities of Cymbopogon schoenanthus, Lippia multiflora, and Ocimum americanum Essential Oils Against Larvae and Pupae of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Dimitri W. Wangrawa, Antoine Waongo, Fousséni Traore, Zakaria Ilboudo, Forde Upshur, Dov Borovsky, Chloé Lahondère, Athanase Badolo, Antoine Sanon1
The Fall Armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda is one of the main crop pests in Burkina Faso. The growing resistance of FAW to chemical insecticides and their harmful effects on humans and the environment necessitates the search for biodegradable and eco-friendly substances. Therefore, alternative control methods, such as the use of essential(...)

Analysis of Fall armyworm infestations on rainy season crops under different cropping systems in two agroecological zones in Burkina Faso, West Africa
Compaoré, Manoé R. Sanou, Athanase Badolo, Lakpo K. Agboyi & Antoine Sanon
The Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, was first reported in a few regions of Burkina Faso in 2017. Since then, it has continued to spread and damage maize crops in the country, thereby threatening food security. This study, conducted three years later, aimed to assess the pest status on major rainy season crops, and the effects of cr(...)

Forensic entomology is used in criminal investigations for post-mortem dating of cadavers. Our study aimed at examining the endogenous knowledge of necrophagous insects of six target groups of workers in two climatic zones of Burkina Faso for their application in criminal investigations, from exhumed and exposed corpses to the air. The survey(...)

Effects of releases of the egg parasitoids Gryon fulviventre (Crawford) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) on Clavigralla tomentosicollis, a cowpea pod sucking bug, in a controlled environment
Sanou Apolline, Edouard Drabo, Fousséni Traoré, Antoine Waongo, Clémentine L. Dabiré-Binso, Antoine Sanon
Clavigralla tomentosicollis Stål. (Hemiptera: Coreidae), major cowpea pod-sucking bug, causes significant economic losses. A promising alternative to chemical control of this pest is the use of the egg parasitoid G. fulviventre. Given that no release strategy for G. fulviventre has yet been tested, it would seem wise, before considering large-(...)

The composition and spatial arrangement of multiple crop and non-crop habitats at a field and landscape levels have the potential to modify the abundance and structure of arthropod communities. In particular, semi-natural habitats can provide important life support functions to a range of natural enemies of agricultural pests. How such traits(...)

Drabo Edouard, Antoine Waongo, Fousséni Traoré, Antoine Sanon, Philippe Auger
We report the first occurrence in Africa, in Burkina Faso, of an exotic spider mite, Tetranychus truncatus, including new host records. Due to morphological variation in the specimens we observed, we used molecular and morphological approaches to obtain a reliable identification of this alien species. Sampling events also disclosed two new spi(...)
