  Abstract Dust and ether-extract from the seeds of the brown pepper were effective in enhancing the mortality of Callosobruchus maculatus adults infesting cowpea seeds. Adults of C. maculatus exposed to the ether-extract died faster than those exposed to the dust of the pepper. The optimum quantity of the dust required for 100% mortality of the bruchids in 20 g quantity of cowpea seeds was 0.5%. Also ether-extract from 0.5 g of dust was required for 100% mortality of the adult bruchids. The optimum exposure duration required at 0.5 g concentration of both dust and ether-extract for 100% mortality was 42 and 30 hr, respectively. Treatment with the two products of the brown pepper seeds was able to prevent deposition of eggs by the bruchids on seeds of cowpea. The products of the seeds are, therefore, recommended for use as insecticide as they have low toxicity on human beings when used as spices.
