“…The results obtained suggest good potential for the use of C. sativum oil as both toxicant and repellent agents against T. castaneum. Several researchers have been reported the toxicity and protectant potential of essential oils extracted from diVerent plants against major stored product insects (Talukder et al 2004;Islam and Talukder 2005;Isman 2006;Rajendran and Sriranjini 2008). Small-scale farmers in Asia and South East Asia mix dried leaves of C. sativum with stored products for protection against post-harvest damage.…”

The biological activity of essential oil extracted from coriander, Coriandrum sativum L. (Apiaceae) against eggs, larvae and adults of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) was investigated in a series of laboratory experiments. Bioassays conducted in air-tight glass chambers showed vapour toxicity and strong repellency on Wlter paper arena test towards all the stages used. Responses varied signiWcantly (P < 0.001) within insect stages, dosages and exposures. At 12.0 g/ml dosage, mortality of adults reached 95%, but for 12-, 14-and 16-days larvae, mortalities were 65, 74 and 82%, respectively. On the developmental inhibition, individuals fumigated at the larval stage conWrmed that the percentage of larvae reaching to pupal stage and pupae to adult stage, decreased signiWcantly (P < 0.001) with increasing dosage concentration. The oil fumigation yielded 100% mortality for T. castaneum larvae, pupae and adults at 0.08 g/ml dosage. The oil had fumigant activity against eggs and the toxicity progressively increased with increased exposure times and concentrations. One hundred per cent T. castaneum egg mortalities were obtained with oil fumigation at 20 g/ml and 96 h exposure period. C. sativum oil also showed highly repellent activity to the adults of T. castaneum, with overall repellency was 90% and at a dosage of 12 g/ml repellency was 100% in a Wlterpaper arena test.

“…Ethanolic extract of leaves of the tree was administered to Swiss albino mice for the investigation of acute toxicity. No mortality was (Islam & Talukder, 2005). Male Wistar rats were divided into three groups, A, B, and C. Group A labelled as control group and receive normal saline solution, Group B was administered with 1 ml of ethanol (50%) for 12 hr whereas Group C was given aqueous extract of leaves (500 mg/kg) after administration of 1 ml of 50% ethanol for 21 days.…”

Azadirachta indica L. is a multipurpose medicinal tree of family Meliaceae. It occurs in tropical and semitropical regions of the world. Different parts of this miraculous tree are used to treat pyrexia, headache, ulcer, respiratory disorders, cancer, diabetes, leprosy, malaria, dengue, chicken pox, and dermal complications. The tree is popular for its pharmacological attributes such as hypolipidemic, antifertility, microbicidal, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, antipyretic, hypoglycemic, insecticidal, nematicidal, antiulcer, antioxidant, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, and antileishmaniasis properties. A. indica is also rich in various phytochemicals for pharmaceuticals such as alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, terpenoids, fatty acids, and carbohydrates. The fungicidal potential of the tree is due to the presence of azadirachtin and nimbin. Herein, we have compiled a comprehensive review of phytochemical profile, pharmacological attributes, and therapeutic prospective of this multipurpose tree.

“…Azadirachtin, the active principle from the Azadiraechta indica (Indian neem) plant, acts as a insect growth regulator against a number of insects (Isman et al 1990) and also possesses antifeedant, growth inhibiting properties (Kubo andKlocke 1982, Islam andTalukder 2005). At present, there is no botanical insecticide to replace pyrethrum for the protection of stored grain from insect infestation.…”

Insecticidal activity of the root extract of Decalepis hamiltonii against stored-product insect pests and its application in grain protection

Root extracts of Decalepis hamiltonii were tested for insecticidal activity against the stored products pests, Rhyzopertha domonica, Sitophilus oryzae, Stigobium pancieum, Tribolium castaneum and Callosobruchus chinensis, in residual and contact toxicity bioassays. Methanolic extract showed LC50 value of 0.14 mg/cm(2) for all the test species in a filter paper residual bioassay. The extract was effective as a grain protectant for wheat and green gram. Reduction of F1 progeny was observed in treated grain stored for 3-4 months. The extract did not affect the germination of the treated grains. Our results indicate that methanolic extracts of D. hamiltonii has a potential to control stored product pests and could serve as a natural grain protectant.
