Abstract
Five indigenous plants viza viz. Mentha longifolia (Mint), Momordica charantia (Bitter Guard), Luffa aegytiaca (Sponge Guard), Carum copticum (Ajwain) and Curcuma longa (Turmeric) were tested at different concentrations of 0, 25, 50 and 75% as crude extract to check its repellency effect against Tribolium castaneum after exposure for 10 days. Mentha longifolia exhibited maximum repellency (96.67%) at 75% dosage followed by (86.67 Momordica charantia %), Luffa aegytiaca (76.67%) and Carum copticum (73.33%). Minimum repellency was shown by Curcuma longa (63.33%). The natural plant extracts can prove the best alternatives to chemical repellents.
