ABSTRACT

Ceratovacuna lanigera Zehnter is a serious pest of sugarcane in many parts of India including Maharashtra and Karnataka. In the light of recent increased interest in developing plant based secondary chemistry into products suitable for integrated pest management, the objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of Acacia concianna, Acorus calamus, Momordica charantia, and Annona squamosa on Ceratovacuna lanigera Zehnter under in vitro and in vivo conditions. Among the tested plants, A. concianna was found to be more effective than other plants. Two rounds of applications of four botanicals along with control were made and the incidence of aphid (Ceratovacuna lanigera Zehnter) on sugarcane was recorded. The results indicated that C.I. mortality was concentrations and exposure time dependent one. Among the four botanicals Acacia concianna was the most toxic botanical under laboratory condition. Similar impact was also recorded under field condition too.
