<em>Spodoptera litura</em>, commonly known as taro caterpillar, is a major pest of several vegetables and economically important crops. The pest is reported to reduce the yield of the affected crop up to 10-30%. Hence, controlling this pest is one of the very crucial steps in increasing crop yield. The extensive use of broad-spectrum chemical pesticides to control <em>S. litura </em>has many negative impacts. The present study is an attempt to evaluate the efficacy of certain plants against <em>S. litura</em>. In this study, we investigated the anti-insect properties of leaf and bark extracts of <em>Anamirta cocculus, Cardiospermum halicacabum</em>, <em>Cocculus laurifolius </em>and<em> Strychnos nux-vomica</em>. All four plant extracts showed significant anti-feedant activity compared to control at different concentrations. The leaf extracts showed the activity in the order <em>S. nux-vomica </em>><em>C. halicacabum </em>><em>C. laurifolius </em>><em>A. cocculus </em>at the exposure of maximum concentration. Anti-feedant activity of the bark extract was in the order <em>C. laurifolius </em>><em>S. nux-vomica </em>><em>C. halicacabum. </em>The leaf extracts of three plants <em>A. cocculus, C. halicacabum </em>and<em> S. nux-vomica </em>showed significant repellent activity. The repellent activity of the bark extracts was in the order, <em>C. laurifolius </em>><em> C. halicacabum </em>><em>S. nux-vomica </em>><em>A. cocculus. </em>The GC-MS analysis of these plant extracts have shown many compounds with known anti-insect properties and specific molecule-based bio-assays might be required to ascertain the distinctive effects of these compounds. |
