AbstractStudies were carried out to compare the efficacy of insecticide schedules based on calendar intervals with those based on plant growth stages for the control of cowpea insect pests. Spray schedules based on calendar intervals and plant growth stage gave reasonable control of the pest complex and increased grain yields significantly. However, spray schedules based on plant growth stages alone were more efficient for two of the three cowpea varieties tested. This was attributed to differences in maturity periods which made spraying by regular calendar intervals slightly out of phase with attack by key insect pests. Thus, spray schedules based on plant growth stages are recommended for the control of insect pests of cowpea.
