Summary Purpose- Conversion of Shea cake waste to biopesticide for the environmental protection the Shea tree against Moth Cirina Forda larvae and other Parasitic or Invasive plants resulting to poor harvest of Shea nuts. Methodology- Shea cake wastes fermented with plant extracts inoculated with broad spectrum microbes for thirty (30) days at room temperature and stirred continuously within ten (10) days intervals. The resultant product called ARATI Biopesticide is organic acid (Peracids and Pheromones) .This control insect damage through mating disruption. Peracids are highly effective sanitizing agents used for controlling algae and pathogens. Peracids can be used as a bacterial or fungicidal application to plant foliage or roots. A further advantage is that when peracids degrade, the by product is oxygen, which is safe and beneficial. Case study: Sesamum indicum (sesame) at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Nigeria field trial for the treatment of blight of sesame crop .The causal organism alternaria sesame, although considered an important fungal disease of sesame, cause yield losses of 20-40%. This yield loss is caused by the premature defoliation of the plants leading to smaller capsules and loss of capsules due to infection. Finding: The pesticides are occurring substances that control pesticide by non-toxic mechanisms. The biopesticides include such insect sex pheromones that interfere with mating as well as various scented plant extract that attract insect pests to traps also include hormones growth regulators and enzymes. Moth Cirina Forda larvae pathology trait can be managed by Peracids and Pheromones mechanism of bioprotection without pesticide foot print on the Shea tree and fruit. Sesamum indicum (sesame) as case study show great impact on improve the crop productivity (see picture below). Findings in Ghana revealed about 90% of sampled trees having some level of infestation Analysis also show a significant positive relation (p
