Key words:-
Oil Palm, Coelaenomenodera palm plot at the University Jean Lorougnon Guédé in Daloa. To assess
Lameensis, Biopesticides, NECO, the insecticidal effect of the products, male and female adults of C.
LIMOCIDE, Côte d'Ivoire lameensis were introduced into cages placed on palms containing palm
leaflets. These adults were sprayed 48 hours later, at concentrations
ranging from: 1.92×10-3 to 8.33×10-3 g/ml (NECO); from 3.58×10-4 to
1.75×10-3 g/ml (LIMOCIDE) and from 3.02×10-4 to 2.07×10-3 g/ml
(Sivanto Energy, chemical reference insecticide). Controls were carried
out from the 1st to the 15th day after treatment. NECO 50 EC induced
maximum mortality rates of 100% (females and males) from day 4 after
treatment. For LIMOCIDE, concentrations of 8.9×10-4 g/ml and
1.75×10-3 g/ml respectively induced mortality rates reaching 100%
(females) on days 13 and 10 post-treatment. In males, only the 1.75×10-
3
g/ml concentration produced mortality rates of 100% on day 12. In the
case of Sivanto Energy, mortality rates of 100% (females and males)
were recorded as early as day 2 at a concentration of 8.42×10-4 g/ml.
Lethal Concentrations (LC50) were 4.96×10-3 g/ml (females) and
5.37×10-3g/ml (males) for NECO, 1.15×10-3g/ml (females) and
1.38×10-3 g/ml (males) for LIMOCIDE. These two biopesticides could
be used as an alternative to the abusive use of synthetic insecticides to
reduce C. lameensis damage and increase palm oil production in Côte
d'Ivoire.
Africa's 2nd largest producer and 1st largest exporter. It also ranks 5th worldwide (Cucumel, 2020). The palm oil
industry employs over a million people south of the forest zone and generates over 400 billion CFA francs in sales
(D'Avignon, 2013).
Unfortunately, this crop is subject to several aggressions throughout its development. These include attacks by insect
pests, the most important of which is Coelaenomenodera lameensis Berti et Mariau, 1999 (Anougba, 2022). Adult C.
lameensis insects make grooves measuring 12 to 15 mm across the entire leaflet, starting from the underside, which
can lead to palm desiccation (Kouassi et al., 2020). Control of this pest is therefore essential. Various control
methods are available, including chemical and biological control. The massive use of synthetic insecticides creates
numerous problems, environmental pollution and human poisoning (Hénault-Ethier, 2015). It would therefore be
interesting to turn to other control methods that are effective and non-polluting. The aim of this study is to evaluate
the efficacy of two biopesticides compared with a reference chemical insecticide on C. lameensis.
Materials:-
The plant material used was oil palm. The animal material consisted of adult males and females of
Coelaenomenodera lameensis. The treatment equipment consisted of a hand-held sprayer and cylindrical white
muslin sleeves (0.50 mm mesh) of large size (300 cm x 80 cm) for rearing and small size (100 cm x 80 cm) for
treatment. The products used were two biopesticides, NECO 50 EC and LIMOCIDE 60 ME, and a chemical
insecticide, Sivanto Energy 85 EC.
Methods:-
Breeding of C. lameensis
For C. lameensis rearing, large sleeves (300 cm x 80 cm) were used. These sleeves were fitted with an opening lined
with adhesive strips to prevent the insects placed on the leaflets from escaping.
Using cylindrical boxes 8 cm in diameter and 10 cm high, fitted with lids, adult pairs of C. lameensis, including egg-
laying females, were placed on leaflets covered with muslin sleeves. The pairs were monitored for 120 days, during
which time new individuals were obtained for testing.
The chemical reference insecticide used is Sivanto Energy 85 EC, with the following active ingredients:
Flupyradifurone 75 g/l, Deltamethrin 10 g/l. The recommended dose for treating one hectare is 250 ml of the product
diluted in 40 l of water, which corresponds to 62.5 ml of the product diluted in 10 l of water to treat ¼ of a hectare
(5.28×10-4 g/ml). Dilution (1 ml of the product) in distilled water (280 ml; 220 ml; 160 ml; 100 ml and 40 ml) gave
3.02×10-4; 3.85×10-4 g/ml, 5.28×10-4 g/ml; 8.42×10-4 g/ml and 2.07×10-3 g/ml respectively.

Three replicates were made per concentration and per insecticide. For each concentration, average mortality rates
were calculated and corrected using the Abott (1925) formula.
With MC: corrected mortality; Mo: observed treatment mortality and Mt: control mortality.
The lethal concentration 50 or LC50 is that which causes the death of 50% of a population of treated insects after 24
hours. It was determined by a regression model using log probit.
Statistical analysis
Data processing was carried out using Statistica version 7.1 software. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to
identify significant differences between the data. The Student-Newman-Keuls test at the 5% threshold was used to
classify means into homogeneous groups.
LC50 and LC90 were determined using Rstudio software version 4.3.2. The regression model used to determine lethal
doses is log probit, which allows values to be predicted.
Results:-
Effect of products on adult males and females of Coelaenomenadera lameensis
Effect of NECO 50 EC on adult males and females of C. lameensis
Adult males:
Twenty-four hours (24h) after spraying, the five concentrations 1.92×10 -3 g/ml; 2.38×10-3 g/ml; 3.12×10-3 g/ml;
4.54×10-3 g/ml and 8.33×10-3 g/ml recorded mortality rates of 0 ± 0; 0.83 ± 1.44; 25.83 ± 3.81; 56.66 ± 3.81 and
65.83 ± 2.88% respectively. Four days after application, the highest concentration 8.33×10 -3 g/ml caused a maximum
mortality rate of 100 ± 0%. The other concentrations 3.12×10 -3 g/ml and 4.54×10-3 g/ml induced mortality rates of
100 ± 0% on days 7 and 5 respectively (Table 1). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between
mortality rates for the different concentrations (F= 28.7; ddl= 89; p =0.000).
Adult females:
Mortality rates ranged from 0 ± 0% to 70 ± 5% twenty-four hours (24h) after application of the product at different
concentrations (1.92×10-3 g/ml; 2.38×10-3 g/ml; 3.12×10-3 g/ml; 4.54×10-3 g/ml and 8.33×10-3 g/ml). Of the five
concentrations, the lowest, 1.92×10-3 g/ml; 2.38×10-3 g/ml and 3.12×10-3 g/ml, failed to cause 50% insect mortality
twenty-four hours after spraying. Four days after treatment, the highest concentration 8.33×10 -3 g/ml induced a
mortality rate of 100 ± 0%. Mortality rates increased to a maximum of 100 ± 0% on days 10, 6 and 5 respectively
with concentrations 2.38×10-3 g/ml; 3.12×10-3 g/ml and 4.54×10-3 g/ml (Table 2). Statistical analysis revealed
significant differences between mortality rates for the different concentrations (F= 12.18; ddl= 89; p =0.000).

Adult females:
Of the five concentrations 3.58×10-4 g/ml; 4.5×10-4 g/ml, 5.9×10-4g/ml; 8.9×10-4 g/ml; and 1.75×10-3 g/ml, those
which achieved 50% insect mortality twenty-four hours (24h) after spraying were 8.9×10-4 g/ml and 1.75×10-3 g/ml.
Twelve days after product application, the 4.5×10-4 g/ml and 5.9×10-4 g/ml concentrations produced mortality rates of
67.60 ± 9.30% and 81.05 ± 2.64% respectively. These mortality rates remained stable until day 15 post-treatment.
Concentrations of 8.9×10-4 g/ml and 1.75×10-3 g/ml resulted in mortality rates of 100 ± 0% on days 13 and 10 post-
treatment (Table 4). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between mortality rates for the different

Effect of Sivanto Energy 85 EC on adult males and females of C. lameensis
Adult males:
Twenty-four hours (24h) after spraying, the five concentrations 3.02×10-4 g/ml; 3.85×10-4 g/ml, 5.28×10-4 g/ml;
8.42×10-4 g/ml and 2.07×10-3 g/ml produced mortality rates of 56.67 ± 2.87; 75 ± 5; 83.33 ± 7.63; 95 ± 6.61 and 100
± 0% respectively. Mortality rates caused by concentrations of 3.02×10 -4 g/ml; 3.85×10-4 g/ml, 5.28×10-4 g/ml and
8.42×10-4 g/ml increased to 100 ± 0% on days 5, 3 and 2 after product application (Table 5). Statistical analysis
revealed significant differences between the mortality rates of the different concentrations (F= 46; ddl= 89; p
=0.000).
Female adults:
Sivanto Energy 85 EC caused high mortality (64.17 ± 5.20; 80 ± 8.66; 89.16 ± 6.29; 98.33 ± 2.88 and 100 ± 0%) of
female C. lameensis adules at different concentrations (3.02×10-4 g/ml; 3.85×10-4 g/ml, 5.28×10-4 g/ml; 8.42×10-4
g/ml and 2.07×10-3 g/ml) twenty-four hours (24h) after spraying. These mortality rates reached a maximum of 100 ±
0% on the 2nd post-treatment day with the 8.42×10-4 g/ml concentration, on the 3rd post-treatment day with the
3.85×10-4 g/ml and 5.28×10-4g/ml concentrations, and on the 5th day with the 3.02×10-4 g/ml concentration (Table
6). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between mortality rates for the different concentrations (F=
19.5; ddl= 89; p =0.000).

Discussion:-
In view of the extensive damage caused by C. lameensis, control methods have been tested to reduce the level of
attack to a reasonable economic level. Among these methods, the use of biopesticides (NECO 50 EC and
LIMOCIDE 60 ME) was evaluated in the present study. Results showed that the products tested effectively
eliminated adult female and male C. lameensis. The synthetic chemical (Sivanto Energy 85 EC) proved most
effective in managing C. lameensis adults, followed by NECO 50 EC and LIMOCIDE 60 ME according to
observation time. The effectiveness of Sivanto Energy was revealed by Kouassi et al., (2020) in their work on the
same insect. These authors reported that Sivanto Energy at a dose of 2.5 ml eliminated 100% of C. lameensis adults
at a shorter observation time (2 days).This effectiveness would be due to the difference in insecticidal power and
mode of action of the different products. This explanation is in line with that of Tounou et al., (2018), who reported
in their work on Podagrica spp that synthetic chemicals have a higher insecticidal power. Sivanto Energy 85 EC is
composed of two active ingredients, deltamethrin and flupyradifurone. Both active ingredients act both by contact
and by ingestion on a large number of insects, but the effect of flupyradifurone is more powerful by ingestion
(Bayer, 2011). The efficacy of deltamethrin had already been demonstrated on insect pests of cowpea in Central
Benin (Mehinto et al., 2014), on the cockroach Periplaneta americana (Blattodea: Blattidae) in the laboratory
(Caballero, 2019) and on Prosoestus sculptilis and Prosoestus minor (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), insect pests of
female oil palm inflorescences (Hala, 2020).The results also showed that the biopesticides used induced mortality
rates that evolved as a function of time and concentration. At a concentration of 8.33×10 -3 g/ml, NECO 50 EC
recorded a mortality rate of 70% twenty-four hours (24h) after spraying in females. This formulation could be
considered effective. This observation is in line with those of Begnon et al., (1990), Tano et al., (2019) and Yéboué
et al., (2022), who reported that a product with an insecticidal effect is effective when it generates a mortality rate of
at least 70% on an insect pest twenty-four hours (24h) after treatment. Four concentrations (2.38×10-3 g/ml, 3.12×10-
3
g/ml, 4.54×10-3 g/ml and 8.33×10-3 g/ml) of NECO 50 EC applied to adult males and females of C. lameensis,
induced 100% mortality. These results confirm those of Nguemtchouin (2012), who recorded mortality rates of
100% on Sitophilus zeamais adults with a powder formulation by adsorption of essential oils of Ocimum
gratissimum, the main component of NECO 50 EC. These results also concur with those of Ouedraogo et al.,
94
ISSN: 2320-5407 Int. J. Adv. Res. 12(08), 86-97
(2016), Johnson et al., (2018) and Akéssé et al., (2020), who in their studies showed its effectiveness in controlling
adults of S. zeamais and Diastocera trifasciata. The insecticidal properties of essential oils from species of the
Ocimum genus in the control of various orders of insect pests have already been reported by several authors
(Kobenan et al., 2018, Tia et al., 2019, Tano et al., 2019, Kassi et al., 2021, Yoboué et al., 2022). This effectiveness
of NECO 50 EC on insects could be due to the insecticidal action of Thymol and γ-Terpinene, which are the active
molecules in the essential oil of Ocimum gratissimum (Koffi et al., 2013; Kassi et al., 2014; Kobenan et al., 2018).
Under the effect of LIMOCIDE 60 ME, only the 1.75×10-3 g/ml concentration caused the death of 50% of adult
males twenty-four hours (24h) after treatment, while in females, it was the 8.9×10-4 g/ml and 1.75×10-3 g/ml
concentrations that were able to induce a mortality rate in excess of 50%. At 13 and 15 days post-treatment,
LIMOCIDE 60 ME induced high mortality rates of 100 ± 0% in females and 92.10 ± 2.68% in males at 8.9×10 -4
g/ml, respectively. These results show that this biopesticide is equally effective against adult males and females of
C. lameensis. Previous studies have shown that powders and essential oils from the fresh branches and leaves of
aromatic plants are used to protect stored cowpea (V. unguiculata (L.) Walp.), maize (Zea mays L.) and bean (P.
vulgaris L.) grains from attack by various stock insects (Kalomal et al., 2008). Similar work has reported that
essential oils of Citrus sinensis, Citrus aurantium and neem (Azadirachta indica Juss.) have larvicidal and
insecticidal activity on Culex pipens larvae and adules (EL Akhal et al., 2014) and Maruca vitrata (Traore et al.,
2019). According to Gandeho et al., (2022), orange peel powder and essential oil have shown efficacy on
Callosobruchus maculatus Fab, a cowpea predator in stock.These insecticidal activities of sweet orange essential oil
could be due to their chemical composition. EL Akhal et al., (2014) revealed that the essential oils of Citrus sinensis
and Citrus aurantium are predominantly composed of limonene, with percentages of 95.36% in Citrus sinensis and
90.0% in Citrus aurantium. On the other hand, work carried out by Rossi et al., (2013) and Dongmo et al., (2002) on
C. sinensis proved this result with respective percentages of 95.1% and 82.36% limonene in orange peel.
Conclusion:-
Evaluation of the efficacy of the two biopesticides used on C. lameensis showed high mortality rates with NECO 50
EC. These rates were 100% on the 10th, 6th, 5th and 4th days of treatment at the different concentrations 2.38×10 -3
g/ml; 3.12×10-3 g/ml; 4.54×10-3 g/ml and 8.33×10-3 g/ml in females and 100% on the 7th, 5th and 4th days of
treatment at the concentrations 3.12×10-3 g/ml; 4.54×10-3 g/ml and 8.33×10-3 g/ml in males. LIMOCIDE 60 ME
produced mortality rates of 100% on day 12 after spraying at 1.75×10 -3 g/ml (males) and 100% on days 12 and 10
after treatment at 8.9×10-4 g/ml and 1.75×10-3 g/ml. The results obtained from the mortality rates show that NECO
50 EC and LIMOCIDE 60 ME could be used against adult C. lameensis at 8.33×10-3 g/ml and 1.75×10-3 g/ml
respectively.
