“…Juss., Meliaceae) is a promising source for botanical insecticides at present (Lowery and Isman 1995). A recent study using azadirachtin, the active ingredient in A. indica, and its derivatives against the polyphagous pest Spodoptera litura (F.) indicates that the combination of insect toxicity and antifeedancy provides good crop protection (Deota and Upadhyay 2005). Other active ingredients with insecticidal eVects have been extracted from plants belonging to the families Meliaceae, Rutaceae, Asteraceae, Labiatae and Piperaceae (Jacobson 1989).…”

Antifeeding and toxic eVects of chemical extracts from Porteresia coarctata Takeoka on the insect pest Spodoptera litura (F.) were investigated in the laboratory. Hexane extracts of P. coarctata leaves were re-dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and applied in water to leaves of Ricinus communis L. (castor). A concentration of 1,000 and 2,000 ppm extract exhibited signiWcant antifeeding and toxic eVects to third instar larvae when compared to the same concentration of dimethyl sulfoxide in water as control. One day after feeding on extract-treated castor leaves, the mortality of S. litura larvae was 50%. Mortality increased to 95% after 11 days at a dosage of 2,000 ppm. Compared to the control, third instar larvae fed on castor leaves treated with P. coarctata leaf extract at diVerent concentrations showed signiWcant reduction in protein and DNA content in the fat body and midgut tissues. Results demonstrate the insecticidal and antifeedant properties of P. coarctata leaf extract against the generalist pest S. litura leading to biochemical changes in the insect body. Thus, P. coarctata contains phytochemicals, and the extract, in crude and pure form, has potential as a botanical insecticide in alternative control strategies against Lepidoptera pests.

A screening for larvicidal activity of plant extracts with some known medicinal attributes could lead to the discovery of new agents for pest and vector control. In the backdrop of recent revival of interest in developing plant-based insecticides, the present study was carried out to evaluate the larvicidal properties in three medicinal plants growing abundantly in the region of Chitheri Hills, Dharmapuri District, India. Antifeedant and larvicidal activity of the acetone, chloroform, ethyl acetate, hexane and methanol leaf extracts of Ocimum canum, Ocimum sanctum and Rhinacanthus nasutus were studied against fourth instar larvae of Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae). The larval mortality was observed after 24 h of exposure. All extracts showed moderate larvicidal effects; however, the highest larval mortality was found in methanol extract of O. canum, R. nasutus and acetone extract of O. sanctum against the larvae of S. litura (LC(50) = 36.46, 68.08 and 68.84 ppm), against A. aegypti (LC(50) = 99.42, 94.43 and 81.56 ppm) and against C. quinquefasciatus (LC(50) = 44.54, 73.40 and 38.30 ppm), respectively. This is an ideal eco-friendly approach for the control of the agricultural pest, S. litura, and medically important vectors, A. aegypti and C. quinquefasciatus.

ABSTRACT. The fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a major pest of maize crops in Brazil. The effects of plant metabolites on the biology and behavior of insects is little studied. The aim of the study was to evaluate the activity of rutin on the biology of the S. frugiperda by using artificial diets containing rutin. The study evaluated four treatments: regular diet (control group) and diets containing 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mg g -1 of rutin. The following biological variables parameters of the larvae were evaluated daily: development time (days), larval and pupal weight (g) and viability (%), adult longevity and total life cycle (days). A completely randomized experimental design was used with 25 replication. The rutin flavonoid negatively affected the biology of S. frugiperda by prolonging the larval development time, reducing the weight of larvae and pupae and decreasing the viability of the pupae. The addition of different concentrations of rutin prolonged the S. frugiperda life cycle. The use of plant with insecticidal activity has the potential with strategy in IPM.Keywords: fall armyworm, insecticide plant, secondary metabolite, flavonoid.Efeito do flavonoide rutina na biologia de Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) RESUMO. A lagarta Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) é a principal praga da cultura do milho no Brasil. A ação de substância química de defesa de planta, na biologia e comportamento de inseto é pouco estudada. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a ação de rutina e os efeitos na biologia da lagarta S. frugiperda, utilizando-se dieta artificial acrescida com este flavonoide. O trabalho consistiu de quatro tratamentos: dieta normal (testemunha) e dieta com adição de 1,0; 2,0 e 3,0 mg g -1 de rutina. As lagartas foram avaliadas diariamente, observando os parâmetros biológicos: período, peso e viabilidade larval, período, peso e viabilidade pupal, longevidade de adultos e ciclo total. Utilizou-se o delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado com 25 repetições. O flavonoide rutina mostrou-se influenciar de forma negativa a biologia de S. frugiperda por prolongar o período larval, diminuir o peso larval e pupal e viabilidade pupal. A adição de rutina nas diferentes concentrações prolongou o ciclo de S. frugiperda. O uso de planta com atividade inseticida tem potencial como estratégia em MIP.Palavras-chave: lagarta do cartucho, planta inseticida, metabolito secundário, flavonoide.
