Rajni Shrivastava* and Priyam Singh
ABSTRACT
The present study evaluates the insecticidal activity of acetone crude leaf extract of Adhatoda vasica against Callosobruchus maculatus. The extract showed 86.66% mortality of C. maculatus beetles at 3.0% concentration. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of terpenoids in acetone crude extract. It can be concluded that the acetone crude leaf extract of A. vasica Nees can cause mortality in beetles so it can be used for the management of pulse beetles C. maculatus.
Keywords: Adhatoda vasica, Callosobruchus maculates, A. vasica.
