Abstract

Chemical storage pest control is interlinked with many challenges such as environmental pollution and toxicity to humans and animals. Alternative tools are thus being increasingly researched and applied to supplement and/or substitute old-fashioned chemical means. Entomotoxic proteins, such as the lectins of leguminous seeds, have been shown to be effective alternative control agents against many serious insect pests. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the flour of three leguminous seeds,
