Summary, etc.	Twenty locally available plants were screened for their antifeedant<br/>activity against three important crop pests of Kerala using water,<br/>acetone, benzene and petroleum other as extractants. Benzene was, in<br/>general, the best extractant and as a test insect H. vigintioctopunctata<br/>was more sensitive than S. litura or P. ricini. Among the twenty plants<br/>screened all the extracts of C. infortunatum, A.indica, T.neriifolia and<br/>E.odoratum and benzene and ether extracts of N.oleander gave high<br/>leaf protection against H.vigintioctopunctata. Against S.litura benzene<br/>and ether extracts of C.infortunatum, A.indica, T.neriifolia and<br/>N.oleander were effective. Water extract of E.odoratum and acetone<br/>extract of C.infortunaturm, A.indica and T.neriifolia also had high<br/>antifeedant activity against S.litura. All extracts of A.indica and water,<br/>benzene and acetone extract of N.oleander had antifeedant effect on<br/>P.ricini.<br/>High larval starvation was caused by most of the plant extracts which<br/>showed antifeedant action. But some extracts ineffective as antifeedant<br/>also caused high larval starvation.<br/>Eight essential oils obtained from the country were screened for<br/>feeding deterrency against P.ricini. Citronella oil, geranium oil and<br/>camphor oil gave significant protection, but the dosages required were<br/>too high to indicate possibilities of practical exploitation of essential<br/>oils as antifeedants for pest control. Based on PC 95 values worked out<br/>through bioassay studies using H.vigintioctopunctat as test insect<br/>N.oleander ranked first as antifeedant. It was followed by<br/>C.infortunatum, A.indica, T.neriifolia and N.odoratum. Based on<br/>larval starvation these plants had different ranking.<br/>Antifeedant activity of the extracts of T.neriifolia and N.oleander<br/>persisted up to 22 days on brinjal on field while that of<br/>C.infortunatum, E.odoratum and A.indica persisted up to 18 days. On<br/>the basis of PT indices the treatments were ranked as water extract of<br/>T.neriifolia > benzene extracts of N.oleander > C.infortunatum ><br/>E.odoratum > A.indica.<br/>The insecticidal effects of the plant extracts on D.cingulatus,<br/>H.vigintioctopunctata and S.litura were low. However, extracts of<br/>A.indica, T. neriifolia, P.odoratissimus and C.gigantea showed<br/>significant toxicity to A.craccivora. But their LC 50 values ranged<br/>from 34 to 93 per cent. Benzene extracts of C.infortunatum, A.indica,<br/>T.neriifolia and E.odoratum had high systemic action on different<br/>nymphal instars of D.cingulatus. Fourth instar nymphs were more<br/>tolerant to the insecticidal action of the extracts.<br/>The essential oils included in the experiment did not show insecticidal<br/>activity on D.cingulatus and S.litura while some caused significant<br/>mortality of A.craccivora at high doses.<br/>Sixteen out of twenty plants tested had significant juvenomimetic<br/>effect on D.cingulatus in one or more than one of the extracts tested.<br/>When the different extracts were ranked on the basis of percentage of<br/>normal adults and their sterility (an index of the possible build up of<br/>the post treatment populations of the test insect) benzene was found to<br/>be the best and it was followed by water while acetone and ether were<br/>on par and far less effective. T.neriifolia, A.indica and E.odoratum<br/>caused 100 per cent sterility of D.cingulatus in<br/>water and benzene extracts and above 90 per cent sterility in other two<br/>extracts. C.infortunatum and N.oleander caused 100 per cent sterility<br/>in acetone, benzene and water extracts.<br/>The juvenomimetic effect of S.litura was much lower than that on<br/>D.cingulatus. All the extracts of A.indica and N.oleander, water and<br/>acetone extracts of T.neriifolia and V.negundo, benzene and acetone<br/>extracts of A.vesica, acetone extract of E.odoratum, ether extract of<br/>M.esculenta and C.variegatum caused 100 per cent sterility to the<br/>insect and hence the treatment would limit the contribution from the<br/>treated insects to the next generation to zero level.<br/>Bioassay studies showed that acetone extracts of C.infortunatum had<br/>highest juvenilising effect on D.cingulatus. It was closely followed by<br/>A.indica. T.neriifolia, N. oleander and E.odoratum were much less<br/>effective than A.indica and C.infortunatum. Benzene extracts were<br/>more active than acetone extracts and were ranked as A.indica ><br/>C.infortunatum<br/>><br/>N.oleander<br/>><br/>E.odoratum<br/>><br/>T.neriifolia.<br/>Considering both the extracts C.infortunatum came on par with<br/>A.indica. N.oleander and E.odoratum were also found promising.<br/>The essential oils caused morphogenetic abnormalities in the<br/>developing numphs of D.cingulatus. The dosage at which high sterility<br/>could be obtained were too high to ensure economic viability of its use<br/>in field. Lower effective dosages, cheaper and comparably effective oils<br/>may have to be found out for wide use of essential oils for pest control.<br/>Benzene<br/>extracts<br/>of<br/>A.indica,<br/>E.odoratum,<br/>C.infortunatum,<br/>T.neriifolia and N.oleander and water extracts of T.neriifolia as 2%<br/>emulsions<br/>reduced<br/>the<br/>populations<br/>of<br/>H.vigintioctopunctata,<br/>C.insolitus and A.gossypii on brinjal and H.vigintioctopunctata on<br/>bitterground significantly in the field experiments. All the treatments<br/>(except T.neriifolia againist A.gossypii) came on par with the<br/>insecticide check, carbaryl 0.2 per cent suspension, in reducing the<br/>population. The studies have thus established that the antifeedant and<br/>juvenoid effects of five plants screened out from the local flora were as<br/>promising as those of A.indica, the well recognized plant source for<br/>such activity and the extracts of these plants can be exploited<br/>effectively in the integrated control of crop pests.<br/>
