Abstract
Bioefficacy evaluation of Randia spinosa Poir. fruit petroleum ether, chloroform and methanol extractive against Spodoptera litura Fab. was carried to find the effect on feeding, development activity and mortality. All the extractives were highly effective at 100% concentration. When tested at reduced concentrations, petroleum ether extractive imparted maximum feeding deterrence at 70% concentration. The highest larval mortality was documented in 70%, 30% and 10% concentrations. Similarly, chloroform and methanol extractives recorded maximum feeding deterrence at 70% concentration (95.88%). However, chloroform extractive was highly effective in imparting larval mortality and it registered 100% larval mortality at all the concentrations tested. The results revealed that R. spinosa has insecticidal properties and that can be utilized for development of an effective phyto-insecticide.
