Abstract

Groundnut pods are att~cked before harvest by several vertebrate and invertebrate pests. Among invertebrates, several arthropods such as earwigs, termites, wire-worms, false wireworms, white grubs, ted ants, Spodoptera etc., feed on deve1opingpotis (Wightman and Amin, 1988). Damaged pods have little commercial value because either the kernels are damaged or external damage to the pod wall renders them vulnerable to fungal infection and aflatoxin contaminati.on (McDonald and Harkt).ess, 1967).
