Zusammenfassung: | Pests are a menace to production of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum
Mill.) in sub-Sahara Africa. The objective of this study was to
evaluate the efficacy of oil extracts of selected common plants for
control of pests of tomato in Benin. The study was carried out on the
Togba market garden sites in Benin. The botanical pesticides (
Tephrosia purpurea , Ricinus communis , Thevetia neriifolia and
Cashew Nut Shell Cold Liquid (CNSL cold) were compared with a
biological insecticide (Topbio), a synthetic insecticide (Lambda
cyhalothrin) and an untreated negative control. The fish model and the
generalised linear mixed or fixed effects model were used to explain
the number of caterpillars per plot as a function of the products
tested during the different plant phases. Tephrosia purpurea oil, cold
CNSL, Topbio and lambda cyhalothrin treatments significantly reduced H.
armigera, S. littoralis and T. absoluta populations. The average yields
of marketable tomato ranged from 7.20 ± 0.89 t ha-1 for the
controls and 21.14 ± 3.56 and 20.46±1.98 t ha-1 for the plots
treated with Tephrosia purpurea and CNSL cold on tomato, respectively.
Plots treated with the synthetic insecticide lambda cyhalothrin gave
the best yields (31.15±3.20 t ha-1). Of all the extracts tested,
cold extracted CNSL and T. purpurea oil showed very high larvicidal
activity at doses of 10%, compared to R. communis and T. neriifolia oil
on the farm. The larvicidal activity of the extracts observed at low
doses on H. armigera and S. littoralis larvae seems to offer an
alternative advantage for the control of tomato pests.

L'objectif de cette étude était d'évaluer
l'efficacité des extraits d'huile de Tephrosia
purpurea, Ricinus communis, Thevetia neriifolia et Cashew Nut Shell
Cold Liquid (CNSL cold) pour le contrôle des ravageurs de la
tomate. L'étude a été réalisée sur les
sites maraîchers de Togba au Bénin. Les pesticides botaniques
ont été comparés à un insecticide biologique
(Topbio), un insecticide de synthèse (Lambda cyhalothrine) et un
témoin négatif non traité. Le modèle poisson
zèbre et le modèle linéaire généralisé
à effets mixtes ou fixes ont été utilisés pour
expliquer le nombre de chenilles par parcelle élémentaire en
fonction des produits testés lors des différentes phases de
la plante. Les traitements à l'huile de Tephrosia purpurea,
