Abstract:
In the present research study Nimolicine (neem compound), Acorus calamus(crude extract) Cypermethrin (pyrethroid) and Methamidophos (organophosphate) were examined against Callosobruchus analis (F) by Filter paper impregnation method. Presently, LC50 values were found as 19, 5.1, 2.2 and 16and#181;g/cm2 for nimolicine, Acorus calamus crude extract, cypermethrin and methamidopos respectively after 24 hours of treatment. The order of effectiveness was observed as cypermethrin andgt;Acorus calamus andgt; methamidophos andgt;Nimolicine. The cholinesterase % inhibition was observed as 37.5, 40, 12 and 65% for Nimolicine, Acorus calamus, cypermethrin and methamidopos respectively. This research determines that Acorus calamus and Nimolicine both have a valuable potential against the Callosobruchus analis. However, further investigation is indispensable to see the effectiveness of these compounds for the positive pest control acceptable by integrated pest management (IPM) in economic, environmental and social means.
