ABSTRACT Objective: The present study aimed to study the termite repellency of the crude extract of heartwood of Dalbergia sisso Roxb. ex DC. tree using several solvents. Method: The extraction was done according to the standard method of Soxhlet extraction followed by Column chromatography and Anti termite activity. Result: The chloroform extract possesses highest potential which was further fractionated. 0.2% concentration of a fraction Chloroform: Methanol (99:1) showed anti-termite activity up to 92%. Conclusion: The plant extracts can be used as an alternative for synthetic pesticides for termite control in buildings. Keywords: Ethnomedicinal uses, Termite repellency, anti-termite activity [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
