The efficacy of neem oil on the mortality, growth and feeding responses of epilachna beetle showed that all the larval instars were susceptible to this oil. The LC50 values were higher at 3 instar and it was lowest on 1 instar. The LT50 values of oil increases proportionately with increasing larval age and with decreasing oil concentration. Neem oil significantly prolonged larval and pupal peri...

219 Abstract: Toxicity of neem extract in comparison with DDVP (Dichlorvos) was determined against the housefly (Musca domestica L). Neem leaf extract was applied at 5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 microgram/fly and DDVP was treated in 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.6 microgram/fly doses. Lethal dose values were calculated with probit analysis and LD50 and LD90 values were found to be 8.4 and 169.8 ug/fly of ne...
