“…Farm storage for six months was commonly associated with 70% seed infestation and around 30% weight loss, rendering the food unfit for human consumption [15]. Effect of Biological control of pests and insects have been evaluated by scholars [7,[16][17][18]. Ludwigia decurrens is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the Onagraceae family.…”

The negative impact of insecticides used to combat insect-borne plant ailments cannot be emphasized, as they have had a major influence on plant yields throughout time, and the side effect of insecticide residue on consumers cannot be overstated either. Callosobrochus maculatus is an insect that attacks cowpeas and has the potential to significantly reduce crop productivity. This research developed from investigations into the utilization of biological control technologies that have little or no harmful influence on humans or the environment. The leaves of Bacopa Floribunda (BFL) and Ludwigia Decurrens (LDL) were air dried, powdered, and extracted with n-hexane. The insecticidal activities were carried out according to protocol, and the LC50 was determined using online software from AAT Bioquest, Inc. The presence of bioactive compounds was detected using GC-MS. The Callosobrochus maculatus mortality rate was found to be a function of exposure time and concentration of the extracts, with the maximum mortality rate (66.67±8.82 percent) occurring after 72 hours at 0.5 mg/ml for BFL extract. The highest mortality rate (70.00 ±5.77 percent) was obtained for the LDL extract at 72 hours at 0.5 mg/ml of the extract concentration, which was better than the other extract (BFL) at 0.5 mg/ml. The lethal concentration LC50 for BFL varies from 0.251 (24 hours), 0.276 (48 hours), and 0.223 (72 hours), while the LC50 for LDL extract is 0.228 (24 hours), 0.039 (48 hours), and 0.663 (72 hours) (72 hrs). The presence of chemicals found could be linked to the extracts’ insecticidal properties. The excellent potential of the extracts as insect biocontrol agents against Callosobrochus maculatus can be recommended for future research as insect biocontrol agents.

“…Considerable efforts have been focused on plant derived materials, potentially useful as commercial insecticides. Toxic effects of plant products on some pests have been studied by many researchers (Essien, 2004;Erturk et al, 2004;Koona and Dorn, 2005). Since these plant materials with insecticidal properties are often active against a limited number of species, are often biodegradable to non-toxic products and are potentially suitable for use in integrated pest management, they could lead to the development of new classes of safer insect control agents (Kim et al, 2003).…”

Larvicidal and pupicidal effects of Dryopteris filix-mas root and rhizome’s ethanolic extract were studied against the third instar larvae of Corcyra cephalonica (Staint.). D. filix-mas extract 0.20% (v/w), caused 100% larval mortality. The plant extracts reduce pupation per cent, pupal death and adult emergence indicating absolute toxicity to the pest. However, further detailed studies are essential under pots, controlled-field cage and field studies.
