Abstract

The study proved that both eucalyptus, mulberry and willow inegar help reduce the toxicity of southern cowpea beetle at various stages (eggs, larvae, pupae and adults) when used at 2, 4, 6 and 8 percent concentrations. When comparing vinegar types, eucalyptus had a better average egg-mortality rate than the other vinegar types studied, at 73.33%, 53.33%, and 61.67%, respectively. Statistical analysis results showed a significant difference between the average egg-mortality rates of eucalyptus vinegar and the other vinegar types.The eggs were mortality more successfully as the vinegar was made more concentrated, reaching 40.00%, 51.11%, 71.11% and 88.89% respectively. The study discovered that the percentages of insect larvae mortality by vinegar were 49.16, 46.67 and 45.83%, depending on the type of wood vinegar. The results indicated that as the Vinegar concentration increased, the average mortality among the larvae grew and became 26.67. 36.67, 52.22, 73.33% for the three species in the study. The average rate of pupal deaths due to eucalyptus, mulberry and willow vinegar was 52.49, 52.77, 52.72%, respectively. As the levels of the toxic substance increased, the amount of pupal death also went up. It was demonstrated that eucalyptus vinegar mortality the highest average number of adult insects, with 55.83%, compared to the 47.50 and 42.50% results for mulberry and willow vinegar. The EUA proved that adult insect death was significantly lower when using eucalyptus vinegar compared to the other types. Adult insects experienced a higher death rate as vinegar concentration increased, reaching 26.67, 40, 55.56 and 72.22%. % Respectively.
