    abstract = {A simple bioassay technique to assess pulverized indigenous plant materials for ability to protect maize grains from damage by weevils during storage, was employed.  Of the 9 plants that were screened, <I> Zanthoxylum xanthoxyloides </I> (Lam.) Waterm. (Rutaceae), <I> Aristolochia ringens</I> Vahl. (Aristolochiaceae) and <I> Morinda lucida</I> Linn. (Rubiaceae) showed best protectant effects on adult toxicity, adult emergence and Weevil Perforation Index (WPI). The details of the bioassay procedure used and the results obtained are reported.}
