“…chlorogenic acid, gallic acid and syringic acid along with hydroquinone that occurred in the red gram's seed coat extract had inhibitory effects on the growth and development of S. litura . Similar to this, S. litura larvae showed decreased emergence of adult and higher larval mortality when fed an artificial diet including phenolics such as ellagic, gallic, and ferulic acids [ [34] , [35] , [36] ]. According to Steinly and Berenbaum [ 37 ], tannin damages the Papilo polyxenes (F.), a swallowtail caterpillar, by causing regressive lesions in its intestines.…”

“…S. litura larvae feeding on diet having higher levels of gallic acid may have been a poor quality host which could have been due to diversion of energy and resources to detoxify the phenolic acid or could have resulted from gallic acid toxicity. Punia et al 38 also reported deterrence of host quality under the influence of ellagic acid which indirectly impacted the survival of its parasitoid, B. hebetor . Barbosa and Saunders 39 had reported that toxic substances in plants retard growth, reduce vigour or kill susceptible herbivores and can cause physiological or metabolic changes in parasitoids.…”

The antibiosis effect of gallic acid on Spodoptera litura F. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and its parasitoid evaluated by feeding six days old larvae on artificial diet incorporated with different concentrations (5 ppm, 25 ppm, 125 ppm, 625 ppm, 3125 ppm) of the phenolic compound revealed higher concentration (LC50) of gallic acid had a negative impact on the survival and physiology of S. litura and its parasitoid Bracon hebetor (Say) (Hymenoptera:Braconidae). The mortality of S. litura larvae was increased whereas adult emergence declined with increasing concentration of gallic acid. The developmental period was delayed significantly and all the nutritional indices were reduced significantly with increase in concentration. Higher concentration (LC50) of gallic acid adversely affected egg hatching, larval mortality, adult emergence and total development period of B. hebetor. At lower concentration (LC30) the effect on B. hebetor adults and larvae was non-significant with respect to control. Gene expression for the enzymes viz., Superoxide dismutase, Glutathione peroxidase, Peroxidase, Esterases and Glutathione S transferases increased while the total hemocyte count of S. litura larvae decreased with treatment. Our findings suggest that gallic acid even at lower concentration (LC30) can impair the growth of S. litura larvae without causing any significant harm to its parasitoid B. hebetor and has immense potential to be used as biopesticides.

A disturbed feeding pattern in the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera Hübner larvae while feeding on leaves of A. Thaliana, has already been reported (Shroff et al, 2008).…”

Effect of the ethyl acetate seed extracts of two cultivars of broccoli, Brassica oleracea Italica, Palam Samridhi (PS) and Palam Vichitra (PV) on growth, development and nutritional physiology of an economically important insect pest, Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was evaluated by conducting bioassays and nutritional assays. The insect larvae were fed on diets amended with the seed extracts of two cultivars at different concentrations viz. 5, 25, 125, 625 and 3125 ppm and taking water as control. The response of the insect varied with plant varieties. The extracts disrupted the developmental cycle of the pest. Larval mortality and total adult emergence were negatively affected. Larval period and total development period were also negatively influenced. Nutritional indices of S. litura also showed considerable decrease in the RGR, RCR, ECI and ECD as compared to control. The AD values were also enhanced with both the cultivars. The findings of the study revealed a considerable anti-insect potential of the two extracts and needs to be further explored for identification and isolation of bioactive constituents from broccoli for efficient management of the pest population.
