Insecticides derived from plants provide environmentally friendly and sustainable options as alternatives to synthetic chemicals. This investigation delves into the insecticidal capabilities of two distinct Datura species, namely, Datura alba and Datura stramonium, in combatting significant pests such asSpodoptera litura, Bemesia tabaci, andCallosobruchus maculatus. Datura plants have a well-documented history of medicinal use and are recognized for their abundant Tropane alkaloid content, which acts as an innate defense mechanism against pests. Hence, the current investigation involved the extraction of chemical compounds from the leaves, flowers, seeds, and roots of both Datura stramonium and Datura alba. Subsequently, these extracts were assessed for efficacy using Spodoptera litura larvae, Bemesia tabaci, andCallosobruchus maculatusin bioassays. The larvicidal experiments encompassed a range of concentrations (3%, 5%, 10%), with larval mortality being documented at multiple time intervals: 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours. The findings from our investigation uncover the notable insecticidal attributes of root, leaf, flower, and seed extracts from bothDatura albaandDatura stramoniumagainst these larvae. These extracts demonstrated distinct mortality rates at various concentrations and exposure durations. This comprehensive analysis imparts crucial knowledge regarding the insecticidal qualities of Datura species and their prospective contributions to sustainable pest control practices. The observed effectiveness of these plant extracts against a spectrum of significant pests hints at their potential as ecological alternatives within integrated pest management strategies.

Myiasis is a kind of parasitic disease originating from the invasion of tissues of domestic animals by dipteran larvae. Chrysomya albicebs is a type of screwworm fly spread in the tropical areas and known to cause myiasis among live human and animals leading to health problems and high economic losses to dairy producers. Management and control of this pest is needed to overcome these losses. Nowadays, natural botanical products have been increasingly investigated as controlling agents against insects of medical and veterinary importance. This research was designed to evaluate the larvicidal effect of the total extracts of three plants, Ficus palmate, Juniperus procera and Nerium oleander against screwworm fly Chrysomya albiceps. The plants leaves were extracted with organic solvents mixture methanol : chloroform (1:1) and were tested against the second larval instar of C. albiceps using feeding and dipping methods. The extracts caused larval mortalities in the order of F. palmate> N. oleander > J. procer with IC50 values of 15.97, 33.73 and 37.24, respectively using feeding method and in the order N. oleander > F. palmate > J. procera with IC50 values of 43.12, 47.41 and 73.39, respectively using dipping method. It is concluded that the F. palmate followed by N. oleander and J. procera are candidates to use in controlling the larvae of myiasis-caused fly C. albiceps.
