Abstract

The advent of synthetic pesticide resistance poses a challenge to insect control and can have hazardous effects on the environment. In the future, botanical insecticides could make good substitute biocontrol methods.This study was designed  to assess the adulticidal, ovicidal, and repellent potential of the crude methanol solvent extracts from Parthenium hysterophorus. In adulticidal activity, methanol extracts of Parthenium hysterophorus leaves were prepared and used at different concentrations ranging from 100 to 1000 ppm. Methanol extracts of Parthenium hysterophorus were allowed to continuously feed on adult Dysdercus cingulatus for 96 hours. Taken extracts were tested for their ovicidal activity by spraying them on freshly laid down Dysdercus cingulatus eggs. One hundred newly laid eggs were given a total of six treatments with varying concentrations of methanol extract, i.e., 25, 50, 75, 100, and 125 ppm. In study of repellent, half of a filter paper disc was evenly coated with methanol extract of Parthenium hysterophorus at various concentrations, i.e., 25, 50, 75, and 100 ppm. Each filter paper's other halves were left untreated. After air-drying, the modified half discs were assembled again as full discs in a Petri dish. Five insects were placed in the centre of each filter paper, then placed in a Petri dish. The ovicidal and repulsive activity data were expressed as mean ± S.D.  and One-way ANOVA with a significant (p<0.05). The  adult D. cingulatus mortality rate notably increased with the increase in the concentration of plant extract of the P.hysterophorus egg hatchability was significantly declined by methanol extract of P. hysterophorus exposure and was found to be concentration dependent .The repellent activity also  was found to be concentration dependent .This result show methanol extract of P. hysterophorus leaves can  may kill the red cotton bug adult, egg and  show repellent activity against D. cingulatus in dose dependant
