The schiff - base transition metal complexes are an important field in the coordination chemistry and find extensive application in different fields. The understanding of relationship between metals and various biological systems is a subject of great interest for researchers. Since nobody has utilized these compounds in agriculture sector particularly for insect pest management so far,this investigation deals with the impact of schiff-base derived from anthranilic acid and acetoacetanilide and its copper complex on fourth instar larvae of Spodoptera litura (Fab.) (Lepidoptera : Noctuidae) by leaf dip method. Results reveal that schiff-base has more impact (LD50 – 0.01293%) than its copper complex (LD50 – 0.03243%) at 96 h. In addition to insecticidal activity, these compounds also interfere with the physiology of S. litura. We concluded from these studies that both schiff - base and copper complex could be incorporated in the integrated management of S. litura.
