Originaire de l'Inde, le neem (Azadirachta indica Juss.) est un arbre présent dans les zones tropicales sèches et subtropicales d'Asie, d'Amérique et d'Afrique. Au Sénégal, il produit en moyenne 50 kg par an d'un fruit sous forme de drupe ellipsoïdale, qui contient en général une graine, d'un poids moyen de 270 ± 30 à 91 % de matière sèche. La variabilité des caractéristiques des graines (45 à 48 % de coques fibreuses : cellulose 52 à 54 %, hémicelluloses 24 à 28 %, lignine 7 à 9 % ; 52 à 55 % d'amandes : lipides 45 à 58 %, protéines 20 à 23 %j) et des huiles extraites (acides palmitiques : 17 à 19 %, stéarique : 14,5 à 17,5 %, oléique : 42 à 48,5 %, linoléique : 16,5 à 20 % ; stérols totaux : 3 à 5 g/kg) est analysée pour 5 régions du Sénégal. L'extraction de l'azadirachtine, principal principe actif phytosanitaire de la graine, par différents solvants (méthanol, éthanol, eau) révèle une teneur de 2 g par kg de graine, localisée essentiellement dans l'amande (3,9 g/kg). Les conditions d'expression de l'huile de graine de neem sont étudiées en presse mono-vis OMEGA 20 et en extrudeur bi-vis CLEXTRAL BC 21. Dans les meilleures conditions, 65 et 68 % de l'huile sont exprimées, 7 à 10 % de l'azadirachtine sont entraînées avec l'huile, et le tourteau contient 14 % de lipides, 14 % de protéines et près de 2 g/kg d'azadirachtine. Le fractionnement acqueux, sous cisaillement intense des graines, conduit à l'extraction de 55 % des lipides, 50 % des protéines et 80 % de l'azadirachtine, séparés sous forme d'une émulsion stable, de composition : eau 70 %, huile 25 %, protéines 4 %, azadirachtine 6 g/kg, et d'une phase aqueuse. L'étude de la mise en œuvre du procédé d'extraction et de séparation, en extrudeur bi-vis CLEXTRAL BC 21 puis BC 45, permet de produire en continu 0,3 kg d'émulsion stable par kg de graine traitée (20 kg/h) avec un ratio eau/graine de 2 et une température de 60°C. Le tourteau ne contient plus que 0,6 g/kg d'azadirachtine, et l'émulsion stable qui en contient 5 g/kg peut être directement mise en œuvre dans les formulations d'insecticide totalement biosourcés. / Originally from India, neem (Azadirachta indica Juss.) is a tree found in the dry tropics and subtropics of Asia, America and Africa. In Senegal, it produces an average of 50 kg per year of a fruit as a drupe ellipsoid, which generally contains a seed, with an average weight of 270 ± 30 to 91% dry matter. The variability of seeds (45 to 48% of capsular cellulose 52-54%, 24-28% hemicellulose, lignin 7-9% 52-55% almonds: 45 to 58% lipids, proteins 20 to 23% j) and extracted oils (palmitic acid: 17 to 19%, stearic: 14.5 to 17.5%, oleic acid: 42 to 48.5%, linoleic: 16.5 to 20% total sterols: 3 5 g / kg) was analyzed for five regions of Senegal. Extraction of azadirachtin, the main active ingredient of the plant seed by different solvents (methanol, ethanol, water) shows a content of 2 g per kg of seed, mainly localized in the kernel (3.9 g / kg ). The expression conditions of neem seed oil were studied in single-screw press OMEGA 20 and twin-screw CLEXTRAL BC 21. Under optimum conditions, 65 and 68% of the oil is expressed, from 7 to 10% of azadirachtin are entrained with the oil and meal contains 14% fat, 14% protein and about 2 g / kg azadirachtin. Watery splitting under intense shear seeds, led to the extraction of 55% lipids, 50% protein and 80% of azadirachtin, separated as a stable emulsion, composition: water 70% oil 25%, 4% protein, 6 g azadirachtin / kg, and an aqueous phase. The study of the implementation of the method of extraction and separation, twin-screw extruder and then CLEXTRAL BC 21 BC 45, produces continuous stable emulsion 0.3 kg per kg of treated seed (20 kg / h) with a ratio water / seed of 2 and a temperature of 60 ° C. The cake contains only 0.6 g / kg of azadirachtin, and stable emulsion which contains 5 g / kg can be directly implemented in the formulations of insecticide biosourced completely.

Este estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de identificar genótipos de feijão Phaseolus vulgaris resistentes aos carunchos Acanthoscelides obtectus e Zabrotes subfasciatus, bem como avaliar o efeito associado desses genótipos resistentes com inseticidas de origem vegetal. Para tanto, foram utilizados acessos de P. vulgaris do Banco de Germoplasma do Instituto Agronômico de Campinas e inseticidas comerciais de origem botânica. No screening inicial, amostras dos genótipos foram infestadas com cada uma das espécies de bruquídeos separadamente, avaliando-se o número de insetos emergidos aos 50 dias após a infestação. Dos 49 genótipos testados contra A. obtecus, não houve emergência naqueles com números de acesso 525, 584 e 615, podendo ser considerados os mais resistentes. Em relação a Z. subfasciatus, os genótipos com números de acesso 2, 35, 251, 570, 583, 584, 610, 621, 634, 816, 818 e 819 se mostraram mais resistentes entre os 185 avaliados. Destes, os genótipos portadores de arcelina 583, 584, 816, 818 e 819, além de 570 e 610, foram selecionados como os mais promissores para os testes subseqüentes, juntamente com a variedade Bolinha, que foi utilizada como controle de suscetibilidade. Não foi observada correlação entre as características morfoagronômicas dos genótipos de P. vulgaris e a sua resistência às espécies de bruquídeos avaliadas, indicando que a resistência a estas pragas não está associada às características da flor, vagem, semente e fenologia dos genótipos. A massa de mil sementes, que é indicativa da origem dos genótipos, foi um dos descritores analisados, mostrando também que a resistência de P. vulgaris a A. obtectus e a Z. subfasciatus não está relacionada à origem dos genótipos. Em testes de livre escolha e de confinamento, avaliou-se o efeito dos genótipos selecionados no screening, juntamente com a variedade Bolinha, sobre o comportamento e biologia de Z. subfasciatus. Verificou-se que a avaliação da preferência de Z. subfasciatus por genótipos de P. vulgaris em teste de livre escolha pode ser feita com 1 dia após a infestação e que \'Bolinha\', apesar de ser suscetível a Z. subfasciatus e favorecer o seu desenvolvimento, apresenta antixenose para oviposição em relação à praga. Nos testes realizados, os genótipos contendo arcelina tenderam a ser mais resistentes que os demais sem essa proteína, sendo que os seus efeitos sobre Z. subfasciatus incluíram o aumento da mortalidade no período de desenvolvimento, alongamento desse período e redução do peso de adultos emergidos, mantendo-se, de certa forma, estáveis ao longo de duas gerações da praga. A resistência conferida pela arcelina revelou ser do tipo antibiose, tendo como causas a impropriedade nutricional e a ação no metabolismo do inseto. Com relação aos inseticidas botânicos, foram testados 3 produtos comerciais, sendo 2 à base de azadiractina e um à base de rotenona. Entre estes, o produto que mais afetou o desenvolvimento de Z. subfasciatus foi NeemPro®, derivado de nim (Azadirachta indica), o qual apresentou efeito ovicida e prolongou a duração do período de desenvolvimento de Z. subfasciatus. Frente a isto, avaliou-se o efeito associado de NeemPro® com o genótipo resistente portador de arcelina 818 sobre alguns parâmetros biológicos de Z. subfasciatus. Verificou-se que os efeitos mais severos sobre Z. subfasciatus foram causados pelo genótipo resistente, independentemente do inseticida à base de nim e que o uso associado de ambos não provoca efeito aditivo ou sinérgico, não sendo recomendado para o manejo de Z. subfasciatus. / This research was carried out to identify Phaseolus vulgaris genotypes resistant to the bean weevils Acanthoscelides obtectus and Zabrotes subfasciatus, as well as to evaluate the effect of these genotypes in association with botanical insecticides. To reach this objective, P. vulgaris accessions from the Germplasm Bank of Instituto Agronômico de Campinas and commercial insecticides from botanical origin were tested. In the initial screening, samples of bean genotypes were infested with the weevil species separately and the number of adults emerged at the 50th day after infestation was evaluated. There was no A. obtectus emergence in genotypes 525, 584 and 615, among the 49 ones screened against this pest. In relation to Z. subfasciatus, genotypes with accession numbers 2, 35, 251, 570, 583, 584, 610, 621, 634, 816, 818 and 819 showed themselves resistant among 185 screened ones. The arcelin-containing genotypes 583, 584, 816, 818 and 819, plus 570 and 610 (both lacking this protein), were selected as the most promising for additional evaluations. Bolinha variety was also used as the susceptible standard. No correlation between morpho-agronomical characteristics of the P. vulgaris genotypes and their resistance to the weevils was observed, indicating that resistance to these two pests is not associated to genotypes flower, pod and seed characters or plant phenology. The mass of 1000 seeds, which indicates the origin of genotypes, was one of the used descriptors, showing that P. vulgaris resistance to A. obtectus and Z. subfasciatus is not related to genotypes origin too. In free- and no-choice tests, it was evaluated the effect of the screened genotypes on Z. subfasciatus behavior and biology, compared to \'Bolinha\'. It was verified that in free-choice tests, the evaluation of Z. subfasciatus preference for P. vulgaris genotypes can be done 1 day after infestation. Despite being susceptible to Z. subfasciatus and supporting its development, \'Bolinha\' holds antixenosis for oviposition in relation to the pest. In the bioassays carried out, genotypes containing arcelin tended to be more resistant than those lacking this protein and their effects on Z. subfasciatus include increasing of the mortality in the developmental period, enlargement of this period and reduction in adult weight, also being stable during two pest generations. The resistance provided by arcelin revealed itself to be antibiosis, by acting as antinutrients and also as antimetabolics. In relation to botanical insecticides, 3 commercial products, 2 of them based on azadirachtin and 1 based on rotenone, were evaluated. The insecticide NeemPro®, extracted from neem (Azadirachta indica) was the only one significantly causing ovicidal effect and enlarging Z. subfasciatus developmental period. Based on these results, the associated effect of NeemPro® and the resistant arcelin-containing P. vulgaris genotype 818 on some Z. subfasciatus biological parameters was evaluated. It was verified that the most severe effects on Z. subfasciatus were caused by the resistant bean genotype, independently of the neem based insecticide. The associated use of these two control methods no results in additive or synergistc effect and is not recommended for the management of Z. subfasciatus.

Resumo: Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus é considerado o mais importante parasito de bovinos no Brasil. Atualmente seu controle é dificultado pela exigüidade de moléculas acaricidas geradas, e pelo rápido desenvolvimento de resistência dos carrapatos. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo estudar o efeito de quatro extratos oleosos de sementes de Nim (Azadirachta indica) contento 2.000, 5.000, 9.000 e 10.000 ppm de azadiractina (AZA) quantificados por cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (CLAE) em fêmeas ingurgitadas e larvas de R. (B.) microplus, in vitro. Para os ensaios com fêmeas ingurgitadas foi usado o Teste de Imersão de Adultas e para os ensaios com as larvas o Teste do Pacote com Larvas. Os resultados obtidos nos ensaios com fêmeas ingurgitadas mostraram que o principal efeito tóxico produzido pelos extratos, está relacionado à inibição da reprodução deste parasito. Foram verificadas reduções nas taxas de ovipostura e eclodibilidade das larvas oriundas das fêmeas tratadas com várias diluições dos extratos, em relação aos controles. Nos cálculos de Eficácia do produto (EP) para todas as soluções testadas, observou-se que a solução de 10.000ppm de AZA (N10) apresentou a maior eficácia. Os resultados das análises dos ensaios mostraram significância (p<0,01) dos dois efeitos incluídos no modelo, indicando variações significativas tanto devidas à concentração de AZA, quanto do ensaio realizado. Nas concentrações letais para as fêmeas ingurgitadas verificou-se que as CL50 não apresentaram variações, enquanto que as CL90 apresentaram grandes variações entre os extratos estudados. Nos ensaios com as larvas, não foram observadas mortalidade das larvas, indicando eficácia zero de todos os extratos testados. Os resultados dos ensaios com fêmeas ingurgitadas de R. (B.) microplus mostraram que os extratos oleosos de Nim apresentaram atividade ...

Nowadays, his control is complicated by the slowness that acaricides molecules are generated, synthesized through and by the fast development of the resistance of these ticks to the market available products. This work aims to study the effect of four extracts of Neem seed oil (Azadirachta indica) containing 2.000, 5.000, 9.000 and 10.000 ppm of azadirachtin (AZA) quantified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on engorged females and larvae of R. (B.) microplus, in vitro. For the tests with engorged females, the Adult Immersion Test was used and for the larvae was used the Larvae Package Test. The test results with the engorged females showed that the main toxic effect produced by the extracts is related to the inhibition of the parasite reproduction. Were observed reductions in oviposition and hatchability rates of the larvae derived from the female treated with several dilutions of extracts, compared to controls. In the Product Effectiveness (PE) for all the test solutions, the 10.000ppm (N10) solution showed the highest efficiency. The analysis results from the tests showed significance (p<0,01) of the two effects included in the model, indicating variations both due to AZA and to the test performed. In the lethal concentration to the engorged females was verified that the CL50 did not show great variation, while the CL90 showed great variation between the studied extracts. In the tests with larvae was not observed mortality of them, indicating zero effectiveness of all tested extracts. The results of the tests with R. (B.) microplus engorged females demonstrated that the extract of Neem seeds oils showed acaricide activity. Thus, it is suggested that further studies can be conducted, such as development of the methods and of excrection, and characterization of other secondary ...

Its importance for the cattle industry is related to the economic damages caused by those larvae. The conventional chemical control has facing some problems such as the accelerated development of resistance and residues in animal products. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevention of botfly myiasis through the use of phytotherapic neen and of the moxidectin observing the capacity of interference in the evolution of parasite biology. For later infestation, third instar larvae were collected and kept in BOD at temperature of 27 ? 1?C and 10% R.U for pupation. After 24 to 31 days, emerged adults were placed in cages with Musca domestica and Chrysomya albiceps, used as a vector for oviposition of D. hominis. The vector carrying eggs were captured and placed in BOD. After 4 to 6 days, first instar larvae were maintained in BOD at 19? C, until host infestation. In the experimental lineation was used 12 male cattle free of D. hominis natural infestation. The animals were previously placed in screened stalls in the W.O. NEITZ Research Station at UFRRJ, receiving concentrated feed, grass, and water. The cattle was distributed into three groups with four animals and submitted to the treatments, being a control animal (treated with water pouredon), two animals treated with commercial products A and B of neem oil (Azadirachta indica, 2000 ppm of the active principle Azadirachtin) applied as a pour-on (50 ml for animal), and one animal treated with moxidectin 10% long action injected subcutaneously (1ml/100 kg) in the back of the ear. Each animal was infested with 30 first instar larvae (L1) on days 03, 07, 14, and 21 after treatment. The outbreak of L1 was stimulated by thermal source and larvae were transferred with a fine brush to a shaved region along the bovine back. The infestations were mapped for monitoring every two days to evaluation of efficacy and residual effect of treatments in accordance with the larval survival at different periods of infestation. With the purpose of verify possible collateral effects, were accomplished clinical and laboratorial examinations of the animals, before and 15 days after the treatments. Regarding efficacy, the neem products applied as pour-on had statistical not significant effectiveness for inhibition of larvae development. On the other hand, injectable moxidectin 10% showed 100% efficacy until day 14 and although larvae penetration was not precluded, larvae development was inhibited, but from day 21, did not inhibit the development of the penetrated larvae. The third instar larvae that developed after the treatments were collected and kept in BOD for observation of some biological parameters. It was observed that larvae from all treatments showed regular pupation, emergence of morphologically normal flies and the presence of viable postures. / Dermatobia hominis, a mosca do berne, possui formas larvais parasitas obrigat?rios do tecido subcut?neo de animais dom?sticos, silvestres e do homem, provocando mi?ase nodular. Sua import?ncia na bovinocultura relaciona-se aos preju?zos econ?micos determinados pelas formas evolutivas larvais. No controle qu?mico convencional tem sido observado desenvolvimento acelerado de resist?ncia e res?duos nos produtos animais. Os objetivos do experimento foram avaliar a preven??o da dermatobiose atrav?s do uso do fitoter?pico nim e da moxidectina, observando a capacidade de interfer?ncia na evolu??o da biologia parasit?ria. Para a infesta??o, foram coletadas larvas de terceiro instar, que foram mantidas em estufa B.O.D. ? temperatura de 27 ? 1?C e 70 ? 10% U.R para a pupa??o. Ap?s 24 a 31 dias, os adultos que emergiram foram colocados em gaiolas com Musca domestica e Chrysomya albiceps, vetores para oviposi??o de D. hominis. Os vetores portadores de ovos foram capturados e acondicionados em estufa B.O.D. Ap?s 4 a 6 dias, as larvas de primeiro instar, em eclos?o foram mantidas a 19?C, at? o momento da infesta??o. No delineamento experimental utilizaram-se 12 bovinos machos, livres de infesta??o por D. hominis. Os animais foram estabulados em baias teladas na Esta??o de Pesquisas Parasitol?gicas W.O. NEITZ, da UFRRJ, recebendo ra??o concentrada, capim picado e ?gua ad libitum. Os bovinos foram distribuidos em tr?s grupos com quatro animais e submetidos aos tratamentos, sendo um animal controle (tratado com ?gua aplicada pour-on), dois animais tratados com produtos comerciais A e B ? base de ?leo de nim (Azadirachta indica, concentra??o de 2000 ppm do princ?pio ativo Azadirachtina) em aplica??o pour-on ao longo do dorso dos animais, dose de 50 ml por animal, e um tratado com moxidectina ? 10% Longa A??o, dose de 1ml/100 kg, em inje??o subcut?nea na parte posterior da orelha. Cada animal foi infestado com 30 larvas L1 nos dias 03, 07, 14 e 21 ap?s os tratamentos. A eclos?o das L1 foi estimulada por fonte t?rmica, e as mesmas colocadas com um pincel fino sobre a regi?o tricotomizada ao longo do dorso. As infesta??es foram mapeadas para acompanhamento a cada dois dias para avalia??o da efic?cia e tempo residual dos tratamentos de acordo com a sobreviv?ncia larval nos diferentes per?odos de infesta??o. Com a finalidade de se verificar poss?veis efeitos colaterais foram realizados exames cl?nico e laboratorial dos animais, antes e 15 dias ap?s os tratamentos. N?o foram observados altera??o dos par?metros cl?nico-laboratoriais. Com rela??o ? efic?cia, os produtos do Nim tiveram efic?cia estatisticamente n?o significativa na forma de aplica??o pour-on, na inibi??o do desenvolvimento parasit?rio. A moxidectina ? 10% apresentou efic?cia de 100% at? o 14? dia, n?o impedindo a penetra??o da larva mas a evolu??o parasit?ria, e a partir do 21? dia n?o inibiu o desenvolvimento das larvas penetradas. As larvas L3 que se desenvolveram ap?s os tratamentos, foram coletadas e mantidas em B.O.D para observa??o de alguns par?metros biol?gicos. Constatou-se que as larvas das L3 provenientes de todos tratamentos evoluiram para pupa??o, emerg?ncia de moscas morfologicamente normais e presen?a de posturas vi?veis.

The product presented effect similar to arthropod growth regulators, inhibiting the development of subsequent stages of Ctenocephalides felis felis and Musca domestica, in which was possible to observe morphological alterations on pupae. Miticidal effects were observed on Otodectes cynotis and, Sarcoptes scabiei on dogs, Notoedres cati on cats and Psoroptes ovis on rabbits, where a dose dependent effect could be observed. Neem did not present efficacy on the control of Amblyomma cajennense and Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus ticks. High concentrations of neem lead to a moderate efficacy on the control of R. sanguineus engorged females in vitro. However, tests in vivo showed low efficacy when used at high concentrations. Already with adults of the same species, the percentage of hatch of larvae was the main parameter to submit the amendment. The neem emulsion did not showed efficacy on the control of canine demodicosis. However, a significant clinical improvement was observed, possibly due to anti-inflammatory properties of the phytotherapic. Despite considered safe to domestic animals, the product lead to grave side effects in all daily treated rabbits, occasioning erythematous areas with alopecia, macules and papules. Similar effects were observed in a single dog which presented sensibility to the product. Cats presented intense transitory sialorrhea caused by ingestion of small quantity of the product during self-grooming. Other animals did not showed adverse effects following product application. / Este estudo foi realizado com o objetivo de avaliar a efic?cia da emuls?o de nim (Azadirachta indica) no controle dos principais ectoparasitos dos animais dom?sticos atrav?s de testes in vitro e/ou in vivo. Verificou-se efeito similar aos reguladores de crescimento de artr?podes, inibindo o desenvolvimento dos est?gios subsequentes de Ctenocephalides felis felis. Efeitos adulticidas foram observados ao administrar o nim em Otodectes cynotis, e Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis em c?es, Notoedres cati, em gatos e Psoroptes ovis em coelhos, onde o efeito dose dependente pode ser observado. O nim n?o apresentou efic?cia no controle dos carrapatos das esp?cies Amblyomma cajennense e Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. Altas concentra??es de nim levaram a uma efic?cia moderada no controle de f?meas ingurgitadas do carrapato R. sanguineus em testes in vitro. Entretanto, os testes in vivo apresentaram baixa efic?cia quando utilizado em altas concentra??es. J? com adultos da mesma esp?cie, o percentual de eclos?o das larvas foi o principal par?metro a apresentar altera??o. A emuls?o de nim n?o apresentou efic?cia no controle da sarna demod?cica em c?es, entretanto houve melhora das les?es cl?nicas possivelmente devido ?s propriedades anti-inflamat?rias do fitoter?pico. Embora o produto seja considerado seguro para animais dom?sticos, graves efeitos colaterais foram observados em todos os coelhos tratados diariamente com o produto fitoter?pico, ocasionando ?reas eritematosas com alopecia, m?culas e p?pulas. Efeitos similares foram observados em apenas um c?o que demonstrou sensibilidade ao produto. J? os gatos apresentaram intensa sialorr?ia transit?ria causada pela ingest?o de pequena quantidade de produto devido ao h?bito de se lamber dos felinos. Nos demais animais n?o foram observados efeitos adversos ap?s a aplica??o do produto.

L'anthracnose constitue pour plusieurs productions végétales une maladie importante qui engendre des pertes post récoltes considérables. Colletotrichum musae est le responsable de cette maladie chez la banane dessert. L'utilisation d'antimicrobiens naturels comme le système lactoperoxydase (LPS) représente une voie naturelle de lutte intéressante contre l'anthracnose. Dans cette étude, nous avons amélioré le LPS en ajoutant de l'iode dans le système existant ou en substituant le thiocyanate par de l'iode. La substitution du thiocyanate à l'iode a permis d'avoir un effet fongicide du LPS. De plus, d'autres substances comme la lactoferrine, le Bioxeda® et l'huile de Neem ont été étudiées pour leur effet antifongique. Les deux dernières substances ont donné une inhibition supérieure respectivement à 90% et à 40%., tandis qu'il n'y a eu aucun effet de la lactoferrine

<p>Botanical pesticides are agricultural pest management agents which are based on plant extracts. In modern times these have been used as alternatives to synthetic chemicals in organic pest management.

There is a need for effective and environmentally sensitive methods of controlling vertebrate pest problems in agriculture and urban environment. Nonlethal natural repellents may meet this need where more traditional methods of control, such as scaring, shooting, and trapping, are either ineffectual or unacceptable. Neem (Azadirachta indica A Juss) extracts: oil, seed and leaf powder and chemicals from cockroach (Blaberus giganteus L.) were tested for their repellent properties. In addition defensive volatiles from B. giganteus were tested in an arena based on choice by smell (cheese or insect volatiles). This arena test used laboratory rats (Rattus norvegicus Berk.); females were more active than males. Both sexes visited the holes with cheese more than holes containing insect's volatiles. However in a feeding test with one choice of food the control did not differ from the treatment. Neem products seem to act as antifeedant on rats: neem seed oil, neem seed powder and neem leaf powder reduced rats feeding respectively at concentration of 15 ml of oil/kg, 15--50 g of seed powder/kg, and 25--50 g of leaf powder/kg of rat chow. Overall neem leaf powder was less effective than seed powder and oil. Neem and insect products may have potential in controlling rats particularly in storage situation, which could lead to an important reduction of post-harvest loss of grains in Sahelian and Asian countries.
