Determining the Anti-insect Activities of Solvent Extracts of Andrographis paniculata on the Diamondback Moth, Plutella xylostella (L.)| Chapter 8 | Research Highlights in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 5

 Diamondback worm, Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus.) is a major infection of Brassicaceae crops, causing significant result loss everywhere. The insecticidal activities of Andrographis paniculata firm extracts against diamondback moth were investigated a suggestion of choice to pesticides. Among the extracts tested, insignificant value per cent humanness was observed in hexane extract of A. paniculata at 0.6 per cent aggregation. At 0.6 percent concentrations, intoxicating and ethyl acetate extracts had maximum death rates of 65.00 and 90.00%, respectively. The present study backed the occurrence of bug-specific opposing bioactive compounds in A. paniculata and depicted favored choice of solvent for the extraction of insecticidal elements. It also underpins allure potential as an alternative source of normal compounds for the management of infections.
