The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of incubated cow urine and its application rates
against melon aphids (Aphis gossypii) and Pickleworms (Diaphania hyalinata) was investigated. Incubation
periods of 7, 14 and 21 days at doses 5, 10 and 15% were tried in a randomized block design with three
replications. Results from analysis of variance (Anova) show that all treatments significantly reduced the
incidence of both pests. However, a post hoc analysis using Turkeys HSD reveals that 14 days incubation at
the various dosage levels proved superior to other treatments. Maximum fruit yields of 79816, 78178 and
54109 kg/ha were also recorded for 14 days incubation at 10, 15 and 5%, respectively. Therefore, 14 days
incubation time is recommended for cow urine FOR adoption in pest control on watermelon.
Key words: Bioefficacy, cow urine, incubation time, melon aphids, pickleworm, ,
