Evaluation Of The Inhibitory Potentials Of Buhholzia Coriaceae On Sitophilus Zeamais (Maize Weevils) On Stored Maize Grains
ABSTRACT
Phytochemical composition and inhibitory effects of Bzichholzia cvriaceae on S/lop/li/ifs zeamais were evaluated. The inhibitory effects of Buc/ihoizia coriaceae as compared to other botanicals (Piper guineese and pepper) on maize weevils (Sitophilus zea/nais) were also studied. The maize grains were stored in nylon bag, plastic container and sack bag The shelf stability of the maize grains were monitored by evaluating the motility of the maize weevil, moisture content and weight lose of the grains. The result showed that maize stored with piper guineese in sack bag ranked best followed by maize stored with jnper gilineese in nylon bag and with maize stored with l3uc/i/io/zia COFIUCCUC in plastic, pepper in nylon bag Buch/iolzia coriaceae in sack bag being ranked equal . The result revealed the presence of tannins (O.852mgllOOmg), alkaloids (0.735mg/bOg). Phytate (0 01 in/ I 0Og). total phenol (001 3iiig/l 00g), saponins, steroids and flavonoids (0.013mg/bOg) in the powder. The inhibitory effects of Buc/thoizia coriaceae was evaluated by storing maize in three different container viz plastic container, nylon bag and sack bag with a temperature of' 29°C ±2 and a relative humidity of 65 -. 70%.
