ABSTRACT

Medicinally important plants such as Centella asiatica, Boerhavia diffusa ,Bacopa moneri and Trichosanthes cucumarina were tested against the pulse beetle, Callosobruchus chinensis. Certain compounds in the plants extracts were found to be effective in reducing the egg laying capacity of the beetle. Thus the plants are proved to be effective as insecticides in controlling the pest.
