The pulse beetle Callosobruchus chinensis Linn. (Coleoptera:Bruchidae) is one of the major pests of pulses in storage. During the present study an attempt was made to screen and compare the efficacy of Ocimum sanctum and Ocimum basilicum (Lamiaceae) on egg-laying performance of the bruchid on grains of Vigna radiata (mung). The leaves of the select two plants were employed in the form of crude extract, powder suspension, aqueous extract, ethanol extract and diethyl ether extract at dose concentrations of 10, 25 and 50%. Significant reduction (P< 0.05) in oviposition was documented in sets treated with the formulations of both the plants as compared to control and normal. The formulations of O. basilicum were observed to be superior to O. sanctum in reducing egg-laying. Moreover, ethanol extract, crude extract and powder suspension were also noted to significantly bring down the number of eggs laid by the pulse beetle. Dose concentration was found to be inversely proportional to the number of eggs laid by the bruchid and formulations of 50% concentration resulted in minimum oviposition. The results suggest that formulations of both the species of Ocimum have a potential to act as ovipositional deterrent and can beemployed against C.chinensis for its control.

The current study was conducted to investigate antifungal and insecticidal activities of essential oil extracted from the Moroccan Withania frutescens L. (EOW), and their chemical composition was profiled. To achieve this goal, EOW was extracted by the hydro-distillation method and their phytochemical constituents were characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses (GC-MS). Insecticidal activity was evaluated by use of four tests: contact toxicity, inhalation toxicity, and repellent tests. Antifungal activity was evaluated on Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Ciceris (F. oxysporum) using different concentrations of EOW. GC/MS analysis revealed that EOW was rich in carvacrol (31.87%), thymol (30.08%), and camphor (9.13%). At a 1-µL/L dose, EOW exhibited mortality rates of 23.13 ± 1.07% and 24.41 ± 1.21% against Callosobruchus maculatus (C.maculatus) by inhalation and contact, respectively. Notably, EOW dose of 20 μL/L caused significant mortality rates of 95.1 ± 3.5% and 76.69 ± 1.71% by inhalation and contact, respectively. EOW exhibited an inhibitory effect on mycelial growth against the tested fungi F. oxysporum of 100% and 93.5 ± 1.1% for the 9 and 4.5 mg/mL doses, respectively. The reduced mycelial growth rate for F. oxysporum was recorded to be 0.3 ± 0.1 and 0.6 ± 0.1 mm/h for the EOW doses of 2.25 and 4.5 mg/mL, respectively. The outcome of the present work showed that EOW has a promising antifungal and insecticidal activity, and it can therefore be employed as a natural alternative insecticidal and mycocidal agent to replace the chemically-synthesized ones.

“…It is reported that acetone extract of botanicals significantly reduced the adult population of C. chinensis Kumari 2000 andVenugopalan 2001). Sathyaseelan et al (2008) also cited that some kinds of botanicals with ethanol extracts reduced the adult emergence of C. chinensis in green gram seeds.…”

Results of the evaluation on bioefficacy of three indigenous plant extracts for toxicity and residual effects against the pulse beetle, Callosobruchus chinensis L. (Bruchidae: Coleoptera) showed that the plant extracts had toxic and residual effects for controlling pulse beetle. Mortality and residual effects were statistically different among the plant extracts and doses applied. Neem extract showed the highest adult mortality (36.78%) whereas eucalyptus extract showed the lowest (22.75%). The order of the toxicity of three plant extracts was found as neem > custard apple > eucalyptus. Mortality was found directly proportional to the hour after treatments which increased with the progress of time. Between two solvents, acetone solvent possessed the highest toxicity (mortality 32.95%) but methanol showed the lowest toxicity (mortality 30.56%). The residual toxicity was evaluated on the basis of egg laid, adult emergence, seed infestation and weight loss caused by the insect. The highest residual toxicity was found in neem extract with acetone while the lowest in eucalyptus extract with acetone. Neem extract with acetone and custard apple extract with methanol solvent were found effective to toxic and residual effects against pulse beetle of three plant extracts applied. Asiat. Soc.
