Abstract

Effect of two phytopesticides, Acorus calamus (AC) essential oil, Biosal® (Neem formulation = NF Neem pesticide registered by APTA) and Deltamethrin (synthetic) was observed after 15 days of treatment by direct application method (DAM). The LC50 dose was used for three compounds 0.15608 µl/cm2 for Acorus calamus, 1.338504 µl/cm2 for Biosal® and 0.03352 µl/cm2 for Deltamethrin. Emergence was observed by (DAM) in control and treated the fecundity of three compounds 62.5% and 58.33% by Acorus calamus, 72% and 67.74% by Biosal and 78.94% and 50.79% by Deltamethrin.
