摘要
Crude ethanol extracts (CE) of leaves of 60 plant species belonging to 32 families and 52 genera were bioassayed for toxicity to adult Tribolium confusum by spraying a 10% (w/v) concentrate under a Potter's tower. CE of eight plants had none and three had some bioactivity; 36 CE killed from 13 to 40% of the beetles. Thirteen plant extracts inflicted between 53 and 100% mortality in the following order: Azadirachta indica (53%) < Eupatorium odorantum = Gliricida sepium = Mimosa pudica (60%) < Annona reticulata = Hibiscus rosa sinensis (67%) < Cycloptis semicordata < Artocarpus altilis < Capsicum annum (90-97%) < Bontia daphnoides = Cuscuta americana = Dioscorea polygonoides = Nicotina tabacum (100%).
