Abstract

Hexane and chloroform extracts of Acorus calamus, Curcuma caesia, C. aromatic and C. longa gave 100 % and different cultivars of Z. officinale gave mortality to the extent of 80 % and above at 2.0% concentration. The extracts of lesser non polar solvents gave low mortality. only A. calamus could give 100 % mortality at 4.0% concentration of ethyl acetate and acetone extracts. Among the plants, A. calamus gave the highest mortality in all the solvent extracts and it was followed by C. caesia.
