Efficiency of Crude Extract from Lantana camara L. on Controlling Cowpea Aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch (Homoptera: Aphididae)
Keywords:
efficiency, crude extract, hedge flower, cowpea aphidAbstract
The repellent, insecticidal and anti-feedant activity of ethanol extracts from hedge flower extract, Lantana camara L. were tested on cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch. The various concentrations of crude extract from hedge flower of 0, 0.3125, 0.625, 0.125, 0.25 and 5% (w/v) were applied. The treatments were arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD) and replicated 5 times on 10 adults. The experiment was conducted at biology laboratory. The leaf dipping method was applied with different concentrations of hedge flower extract (0, 0.3125, 0.625, 0.125, 0.25 and 5% (w/v)). The results indicated that the repellent, insecticidal and anti-feedant activity of hedge flower extract on cowpea aphid were significantly effective (p<0.05) when compared with the control. At 5% of hedge flower extract, the percent of repellent and the percent of mortality were the highest at 100% and LC50 value was 1.25 at 24 hours when compared with the control. For the anti-feedant activity, the number of probing was higher when the concentration was higher. The number of probing was the highest (9.40 + 0.74) at 5% concentration when compared with the control (1.20 + 0.48). Time of penetration was lower when the concentration was higher. Time of penetration was the lowest (0.14 + 0.26 min) at 5% concentration when compared with the control (8.64 + 1.03 min).
