Abstract

Application agro-pesticides have significant impact on both beneficial and non-beneficial pests. It is important to develop organo pesticide with little or no side effect the beneficial pest. Therefore, this study was carried in the year 2022 in Biotechnology Laboratory at Jigawa State polytechnic with aim of determine the influence of organo pesticide on the susceptibility and adaptability of weevil and grasshopper. Basic procedures were taken to produced organo-pesticide such as collection goat urine and ginger extract, sterilization, crushing, fermentation and storage room temperature for 14 days. Each of the ten samples of weevil and Grasshopper were subjected to the effect of organo-pesticide. Data collected were subjected to descriptive statistic such as percentage using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results showed that bean weevils had 100% mortality rate followed by grasshopper with 60 percent. The extract had high effect to store pest (bean weevil) than field pest (grasshopper). Therefore, recommended that more studies should be carried out to with use of different plant and animal extracts for assessing the effectiveness of the bio-pesticide on several insects to reconfirmed the findings.
