Overview

This study demonstrates the ovicidal and deterrence activity of plant-derived extracts on megacopta cribraria, suggesting eco-friendly pest control methods.

Key Points

  • Aegle marmelos leaf extract caused a reduction in egg hatching rates of megacopta cribraria, with a 70% reduction at 10% concentration.
  • Bugs spent only 3.24% of their time on surfaces treated with Aegle marmelos compared to untreated surfaces, indicating significant deterrence.
  • The frequency of visitation to the treated surface decreased to about 13%, further demonstrating the effectiveness of the extract.
  • Enhanced grooming behavior observed in the bugs suggests they were trying to remove the extract, underlining its potential as a biopesticide.
