Abstract

Evaluations of toxicity, antifeedant, growth-regulatory activity of the methanol extract of Gliricidia sepium leaves were carried out against Dysdercus koenigii Fabr. (Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoridae), Achaea Janata Linn, and Spodoptera litura Fab., (both Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Topical application of 100-300 μg of the extract to different stages of the test insects resulted in dose-dependent effects including larval-pupal intermediates and deformed adults. The highest tested dosage (300 μg/ μl) resulted in reduced survival rate and morphological abnormalities. At certain doses a strong antifeedant activity was evident against the lepidopteran insects.

Résumé

Les extraits au méthanol obtenus des feuilles de Gliricidia sepium ont été utilisés pour évaluer leur pouvoir toxique ou anorexigène, et leur action régulatrice de croissance et développement chez Dysdercus koenigii Fabr. (Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoridae), Achaea Janata Linn, et Spodoptera litura Fabr., (tous deux Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Une administration de 100–300 μg d'extrait par voie de contact, aux differents stades larvaires de ces insectes a montré une relation dépendente entre l'âge et la dose; et elle donnait lieu à la formation des stades intermédiaires larves—pupes et des adultes déformés. La dose maximale testée (300 μg/μl) réduisait le taux de survie et induisait des anomalies physiques. Certaines doses provoquaient des effets anorexigènes forts contre le groupe des lépidoptères.
