A SYSTEMIC BIOCHEMICAL STUDY AND QUANTIFICATION ANALYSIS OF SPODOPTERA LITURA AGAINIST PADINA TETRASTROMATICA

Abstract

Spodoptera litura is an important polyphagous insect pest of several host plants worldwide and has developed resistance to many insecticides. The present study aimed at analysing the effect on a resistant field population from Tamil Nadu, India through biochemical assays. The present study aimed at analysing the effect of selection of a resistant field plant from Sangrur, through synergist and biochemical assays. A screening for larvicidal activity of plant extracts with some known medicinal attributes could lead to the discovery of new agents for pest and vector control. In the backdrop of recent revival of interest in developing plant-based insecticides. In addition to the economic benefits of local use of botanical extracts, the least impact on human health would be enormous, preventing farmers from insecticide poisoning
