Abstract
Antifeedant and insecticidal properties of A. precatorius suggested by the locals of karaikal district, Puducherry was studied by conducting laboratory bioassay against third instar of Spodoptera litura (F.) (Lepidoptera). The higher antifeedant activity was noticed in methanol extract (84.11%), petroleum ether extract (71.29%) and hexane extract (42.02%). The insecticidal activity was more pronounced in methanol (100%), petroleum ether (83.33%) and hexane activity (66.67%). The results revealed the active toxic compound of A. precatorius to be used in the biorational pest management strategies.
