“…The use of Thevetia peruviana fruits for suicide attempts has been reported in Sri Lanka and southern India (EDDLESTON et al 1999). KHANAM et al (2008) tested Sapium indicum WILLD., Thevetia neriifolia JUSS. and Jatropha gossypifolia L. on Tribolium castaneum (HERBST, 1797) and T. confusum JACQUELIN DU VAL, 1861 in Bangladesh and found them to possess insecticidal properties.…”

A laboratory evaluation was carried out to determine the efficacy and phytochemical composition of powdered seeds of Physic nut Jatropha curcas, Yellow oleander Thevetia peruviana and West African black pepper Piper guineense at different dosages (2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 g) for the management of Sitophilus zeamais. Treatments were mixed with 50 g of maize and infested with 10 adult S. zeamais in 200 ml air-tight glass vials and kept under ambient conditions (25-30°C and 70-90 RH) for a period of 28 days in August 2015. The trial was laid out in a completely randomized design in four replicates. Results from data analyses showed that treated maize grains in storage recorded significantly (P < 0.05) higher mean mortality levels of adult S. zeamais than the untreated controls. However, there were no significant differences in mean mortality of the weevil at 7, 14, 21 and 28 DAT, except on those stored only for 1 DAT. Batches treated with higher doses (10.0, 7.5, 5.0 g) suffered a higher total mortality of adult S. zeamais; this was significantly (P < 0.05) higher compared with treatments using smaller dosages (2.5 and 0.0 g). Phytochemical analysis of treatments revealed high levels of alkaloids, tannins and phenols in all the plant extracts. The flavonoid contents were also high in Piper guineense and Permethrin, but lower in Jatropha curcas and Thevetia peruviana. These compounds are known to possess insecticidal properties that may have been responsible for the mortality of Sitophilus zeamais.

“…One plant species may possess activities with a wide range, for example extracts from the neem tree are antifeedant, oviposition deterrent, repellent and growth regulating (Schmutterrer, 1995;Raguraman, 1997). Effect of seed extract on the fecundity and fertility of Tribolium castaneum and T. confusum of J. gossypifolia were reported (Khanam et al, 2008). The MeOH extracts of J. gossypifolia were assayed for their toxicity against the early fourth instar larvae of C. quinquefasciatus (Rahuman et al, 2008).…”

“…Cassia oils also completely inhibited reproduction in Sitophilus zeamais, R. dominica and T. castaneum (Xu and Zhao 1994). Khanam et al (2008) noted that the acetone extract of Sapium inducm seed and petroleum ether extracts of Thevetia neriifolia seed kernel and Jatropa gossypifolia seed significantly reduced the reproductive potential of T. castaneum and T. confusum.…”

Effects of petroleum ether extracts of Trichosanthes palmata seed and Zingiber cassumunar rhizome on the fecundity and fertility of two stored grain insect pests, Tribolium castaneum and Tribolium confusum have been assessed. Laboratory studies indicated that all the doses of T. palmata seed extract reduced significantly the egg laying and hatching of both the insects in comparison with the control. The mean oviposition per female for 33 days in the untreated medium were 232.
