The botanical insecticide is alternative pest control that is feasible to be developed. The inflorescences extract of Piper aduncum and leaf extract of Tephrosia vogelii are known to have insecticidal activity. The study aimed to determine the effect of a mixture of water extract of P. aduncum inflorescences and T. vogelii leaves on C. pavonana. This test used a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 6 treatments (0.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 and 5.0%) and 5 replications. Observation parameters were larval mortality, antifeedant effect, larval development time, pupal development time, normal and abnormal pupae, and sex ratio. The mixture of water extract of P. aduncum inflorescences and T. vogelii leaves (2:1) at LC50 (3.19%) was antagonistic and at LC95 (6.07%) was additive. The mixture influenced larval mortality (81.0%), had antifeedant effect (84.5%) and prolonged larval development time 1.71 days on 2 nd -3 rd instars and 2.4 days on 2 nd -4 th instars compared to control, but there were no effect on pupal development time, number of abnormal pupae and sex ratio.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
