ABSTRACT
Aqueous extract of various plants has been tested for their
insecticidal
(aphidal)
efficacy
against
rose
aphid,
Macrosiphumrosaeformes (Davis) in laboratory conditions.
Thirteen plant extracts with standard insecticidal and untreated
control were tested. Garlic, Allium sativum (Linn),was found to be
best effective followed by Custard apple, Annonasqumosa (Linn)
and Bullock heart, Annonareticulate(Linn).
Keywords- Plants extracts, aphidicidal activities, laboratory
conditions.

INTRODUCTION
In Rose aphid, Macrosiphumrosaeformes (Davis) is
a key pest of rose,Rosa canine (Linn).This pest
causes damage directly by sucking the sap from
different parts of the plants and indirectly by
transmitting the viral diseases.Heavy infection of
this aphid can causes considerable damage to the
rose and reducesquality of flower.A number of
effective insecticides have been reported for the
control of rose aphid.But it is costly and dangerous
to ecosystem.For the control of aphid pest various
insecticides are recommended and regularly used.
But it gives side effect pest resistance (Metcalf,
1988),secondary pest outbreak (Oka and
Pimentel,1974), encountered infood animal
products adipose tissue and milk (Brown,1974),
and
effect
on
non-target
organism
(Meherotra,1988). Present study was undertaken
to evaluate the base data on plant based
insecticide specificallyaphidicidal on the given pest
which are chief and ecofriendly.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A laboratory experiment was conducted at the
Department of Zoology, of S.M.B.S.T College,
Sangamaner during the year 2013-2014.The rose
aphid, M. roseformesand rose twigs were brought
to laboratory from field. Various thirteen plant

species shown in Table1 were selected for
aphidicidal activity test. Plant leaves were firstly
washed 2-3 times in sterilized water. 10gms leaves
material in 10 ml distilled water.Extracts were
allowed to evaporate at room temperature. These
materials were squeezed through double layer
muslin cloth and paper (Watman No.1).
For the experimentation 20 healthy, non pathologic
and same size aphids were used for each treatment
one ml of each extract was applied on young twigs
and aphids in Petri plates.The mortality was
recorded after 12,24,36,48 and 60 hrs of post
treatment. Recorded data subjected to statistical
analysis after regular transformation.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
It was seen from the present study that the
mortality in the treated aphid was occurred due to
treatment of respective products.The data
presented in Table2 indicates that the percent
mortality of various plants on aphid at
12,24,36,48,and 60 hours post treatment and study

revealed high percent mortality in Garlic, Allium

Bullock
heart,Annonareticulata. The extract of garlic
showed highest mortality to compared standard
control mortality at 12,24,36,48 and 60 hours posttreatment
respectively.Adathodavasica
was
observed to be effective against, safflower aphid
,U.compositae (Dhembareet. al, 1998). A leaves
powder of A. Vasicawas effective on store grain
pest(Shrivastava et al. 1964). Pandeyet.al,(1987)
reported that O. santumwas better treatment
against, L. Erysimi and also Dhembare and
Shekatkar(1994) on the same aphid species.
Other plant extracts those showed least percent
mortality at different hours of post-treatment but
these plant extracts might have some other
properties such as attaractant, repellent,
chemosterilant,
fungisidal,
nematocidal,
bactericidal, rodanticident. But it was beyond the
scope of the present study. It was mainly directed
towards the aphidicidal and find out baseline data.
