...y in South Asia. Feeding deterrence of H. indicola among 10 different woods species were evaluated in choice and no-choice assays conducted under laboratory and field conditions. Visual rating according to (AWPA, 1997) scale, mass loss, wood consumption per termite and mortality rate were determined to evaluate resistance of wood against H. indicola. Populus euramericana and Dalbergia sissoo were observed most palatable and resistan...

...le the lowest ovipositon deterrence of 5.71 % was exhibted by the petroleum ether extract of C. fistula. However, in case of the petroleum ether extract of O. basilicum and the acetonic extract of Eucalyptus more pupae were developed in treated fruits as compared to their untreated guavas. The acetonic extracts of T. peruviana showed overall less settlings on both treated and untreated guavas resulting in less number of pupae develo...

...art valuable role in the deterrence of human diseases and improvement of health. People usually used to eat vegetable for developing taste without observing their nutritive significance. The present study was therefore, planned to assess the essential proximate nutritional and mineral contents in edible parts of some vegetables. All the analyses were carried out by following the standard analytical procedures during 2014. The highest values for ash contents we...

...val. The maximum feeding deterrence index (86.48%) was recorded at the highest dose of Z. officinale crude extract at 5 days exposure interval. The results of this study supported the use of Z. officinale to reduce the population of T. castaneum by its toxic and repellent characteristics which ultimately improve the grain quality of stored wheat. ...

...ient in terms of feeding deterrence as compared to other insecticides. These results indicate that Radiant and Voliam flexi could be useful in managing S. frugiperda infestations. This study provides essential information regarding the efficacy of commonly used insecticides against S. frugiperda, a highly detrimental agricultural pest with global prevalence.
