Abstract:
Larvicidal activity of ethanol and aqueous leaf extracts of Argemone mexicana were studied against third instars larvae of Spodoptera litura at different concentration (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 mg/ml.). The plant leaves were dried, powdered and extracted in soxhlet apparatus in ethanol and aqueous solvent for 24 hrs. The third instars larvae of S. litura were exposed to various concentration and percent mortality were recorded after 96hrs.
Larvicidal activity of ethanol and aqueous leaf extracts of Argemone mexicana were studied against third instars larvae of Spodoptera litura at different concentration (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 mg/ml.). The plant leaves were dried, powdered and extracted in soxhlet apparatus in ethanol and aqueous solvent for 24 hrs. The third instars larvae of S. litura were exposed to various concentration and percent mortality were recorded after 96hrs.
The larvicidal activity of leaf extract of A. mexicana were (LD10= 7.65 mg/ml, LD50= 20.54 mg/ml) in ethanol and (LD10= 10.17 mg/ml, LD 50= 31.55 mg/ml) in aqueous respectively. Results revealed that the mortality was increased with increasing in concentration of the plant extracts.
The ethanol solvent extract of A. mexicana showed higher larvicidal property against third instars larvae of S. litura. Statistical variance, 95% confidence limits and regression equations are presented.
