“…It is notably the case of Erythrina abyssinica which is one of the most widely used in African traditional medicine for the treatment of malaria and microbial infections (Yenesew et al, 2004). The aromatic essential oil of Tagetes minuta, is also used against malaria, but mainly for its insecticidal activity (Hamill et al, 2000;Batish et al, 2007;Lehman et al, 2007). Leaves of Vernonia amygdalina are commonly employed to treat malaria, not only in Kiohima village but more generally in Uganda (Tabuti, 2004) as well as in other EastAfrican countries such as Congo and Zimbabwe (Tona et al, 2004;Mbatchi et al, 2006).…”

“…Another important aspect in selection of pesticide use under IPM is the selectivity of the pesticide. Similarly, it has been recognized that plant derived secondary metabolites can be developed into products suitable for IPM based on their (i) selectivity and (ii) no or little side effect on non-target organisms or environment (Park et al, 2003: Lehman et al, 2007. Various aspects of IPM and biological control have been reviewed for storage systems in the tropics previously (Haines, 1984).…”

Grain legumes are an important source of proteins in vegetarian diet besides their role in biological nitrogen fixation. They are prone to heavy pest infestation both on and off the field. Pest associated losses are an important contributing factor towards declining per capita availability of grain legumes. Synthetic chemical pesticides have played an important role in crop preservation, however their incessant use has posed several environmental and human health concerns. Methyl bromide and phosphine are commonly used for the post harvest preservation of grain legumes. However, the former has to be phased out by 2015 as per the Montreal protocol whereas the latter is showing development of resistance to it by the insects. In the light of this, alternative, safer and sustainable strategies are needed for crop protection. Plants can serve as a rich source of bioactive chemicals for this purpose. Both primary as well as secondary metabolites can be evaluated against the target pests. The paper reviews the status of research in the area of use of plant metabolites in post harvest pest management of grain legumes.

“…In Orthoptera (such as grasshoppers, crickets, locusts), the antifeedant effect seems especially important. A number of species refuse to feed on neem-treated plants for several days, sometimes several weeks (Montes-Molina et al, 2008;Lehman et al, 2007;Sharma et al, 2008).…”

In this study, neem leaves were successively extracted with petroleum ether, 95% ethanol and water and the insecticidal activities of these extracts against Oxya chinensis larvae were measured. The results showed that 95% ethanol extract gave the highest extraction yield and insecticidal activity, and it was further extracted with five different solvents. The petroleum ether extract from the 95% ethanol extract possessed the highest insecticidal activity with median lethal concentration values ranging from 14.93 to 55.66mg/mL. The gas chromatography-mass spectrometer analysis showed that the petroleum ether extract mainly composed of alkanes, olefin, esters and amide. The pathological examination revealed that the prominent lesions, including reduced regenerative cells in midgut and swelled and degenerated cylindrical cells, were observed in the 5th instar Oxya chinensis after treatment. The ultrastructural features showed that the cylindrical cells, microvilli and mitochondria were seriously damaged. These results suggested that the petroleum ether extract from neem leaves had potent insecticidal activity and could be a candidate insecticide.
