Abstract	The experiment was conducted at the Federal College of Forestry, Jos Biology laboratory to determine the efficacy of selected botanicals against cowpea weevils (Callosobruchus maculatus F.) on stored cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L) Walp). The experiment consist of eight treatment laid in complete randomized design (CRD); control, actellic dust 5g, citrus peel powder 5g, citrus peel powder 10g, paw-paw leaf powder 5g, paw-paw leaf powder 10g, annona seed powder 5g, anonna seed powder 10g. Each treatment replicated three times. Data collected include adult mortality, number of eggs, larval development, percentage grain damage, percentage weight loss and percentage germination. The data collected were subjected to analysis of variance (AVONA) at 5% probability level. Mean separations was carried out using student Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) where significance was declared. The result indicated that, there were significantly differences between plant products treatments and the synthetic treatment over the control throughout the period of the experiment (1 to 8 weeks). However, among the various treatment of the plant products used, 5g pawpaw leaf powder/100g and 5g annona seed powder/100g of cowpea grains proved to be most effective in grain damage and also 5g pawpaw leaf powder and 10g citrus peel powder proved to be most effective on adult emergence and adult mortality of C. maculatus at 8 weeks of International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2018 346 ISSN 2250-3153 http://dx.doi.org/10.29322/IJSRP.8.10.2018.p8246 www.ijsrp.org the storage. However, 5g actellic dust was the most effective in controlling grain damage while 5g pawpaw leaf powder and 5g annona seed powder proved to be most effective in controlling grain damage among the natural botanicals, adult mortality and number of eggs laid by C. maculatus on the stored grains. Finally, the result of the study showed that, plant products tested at different concentrations displayed some potentials as food poison, repellants, antifidant and contact poison. The result clearly indicated the potential values of using plants extracts as complimentary to chemicals pesticides in controlling C. maculatus on cowpea grains.
