Abstract
Powder post beetle, Lyctus africanus Lesne (Coleoptera: Lyctidae) is the most economically destructive borer. In the laboratory bioefficacy study of diflubenzuron a chitin synthesis inhibitor was evaluated against Lyctus africanus (powder post beetle). Diflubenzuron at 0.5 per cent concentration provided excellent control of Lyctus africanus.
