Abstract

Studies revealed that, cold ethyl alcohol leaf extract (25%) of Pongamia pinnata followed by topical application was highly effective against Spodoptera litura Fab. Growth and development of S. litura was drastically affected by the plant extract (20%) followed by leaf application. The adult emergence was normal for both treatments. For topical application, LC50 and LC90 was found to be 12.28 and 42.53 and for leaf application, 22.50 and 51.21, respectively.
