Insecticidal Activities of Pomegranate Peels and Leave Crude Juices
Keywords:
Pomegranate peels and leave crude juices,, Polyphenols,, Flavonoids, Cotton leaf worm,, Insecticidal activity, Microscopical examinationAbstract
The present study was conducted to envisage the insecticidal activities of pomegranate crude juices on cotton leaf worm, Spodoptera littorallis. Pomegranate peels and leave crude juices were obtained by hydraulic press and applied as a natural insecticide against cotton leaf worm during its whole life cycle. The data indicated that there was a direct relationship between the phenolic and flavonoid contents of pomegranate crude juices and the studied parameters relevant to cotton leaf worm life cycle. The studied parameters were larvae and pupae mortalities, adult emergence, hatchability and sterility. Furthermore, histopathological examinations were performed on the cuticle and mid gut of untreated and treated larvae with pomegranate crude juices. Generally speaking, pomegranate crude juices can be applying as a natural insecticide against cotton leaf worm since it is nearly priceless, safe agent, biodegradable, alternative to hazardous synthetic insecticides and harmless to the environment.
