Antifeedant effect of some plant extracts on Tribolium castaneum (Herbst)
Santa Kalita, R. K. Bhola
Abstract :
Dichloromethane extracts of eight locally available plants Anona squamosa, Calotropis procera, Jatropha curcas, Datura metel, Lantana camara, Murraya koenigii, Polygonum hydropiper and Vitex negundo were screened to find their antifeedant effect on a stored grain pest, Tribolium castaneum, commonly known as the red rust flour beetle. Results showed that all the plant extracts exhibited significant effects on the tested pest; the aqueous and DCM extracts of A. squamosa showing the highest antifeedant potential.
