Abstract
The present study was focused on to evaluate ovicidal, larvicidal activity and phytochemical profile of different solvent extracts of Exacum pendunculatum L. The efficacy of acetone, methanol, ethanol and water extracts of E. pendunculatum was assayed against third instar larvae of Spodoptera litura for their insecticidal activity. The highest ovicidal (80%) and larvicidal (90%) activity was recorded in methanol extract at 50 mg/ml concentration. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemicals tests were revealed the presence of considerable amounts of phenolics flavonoids, tannins, terpenoid and alkaloids in E. pendunculatum. The recorded phytochemicals might be responsible for effective bio-pesticidale potential of E. pendunculatum. Hence further details phytochemical investigation will assist us to develop a new botanical formulation for the management of S. litura.
