Abstract

Eclipta alba, which  is  herbaceous  plant,  has  shown  phagodeterrant activity, equally  good  as insect sterrilent. Three  different concentrations  of the  plant  extract in  petroleum ether and  acetone showed  loss  in fecundity  and  fertility in  Callosobruchus maculatus, a serious  stored  pest  of green gram.  The  detail  phytochemistry of chemosterrilent is still  in progress.
