Corcyra cephalonica, the rice moth was treated with andrographolide at a concentration of 5 µg per day in fluid volume of 5 µl of acetone. The effects of such a treatment were studied till the adult emergence. There was nearly 60 % pupal mortality and the adults that emerged, demonstrated morphological aberrations. The application of andrographolide mimics the juvenile hormone, appears to cause desruption in the metamorphic events leading to mortality of pupae, delayed pupal – adult transformation and structural abnormalities. From this study it is evidence that andrographolide possesses properties similar to juvenile hormone and its analogue.
