Abstract

The use of African weaver ants, Oecophylla longinoda, has presented an alternative to pesticides for sustainable cashew pest management. The predator was found to be as highly effective (P < 0.0001) as the recommended insecticide (Lambda cyhalothrin) (P < 0.0001) in controlling cashew pests. The several economic analyses on the profitability of the technology over the recommended pesticides by partial budgeting, marginal rate of returns, benefit-cost ratio and net present value proved O. longionda to be superior to pesticides.
