Figure 1:
Effect of emamectin benzoate (EMB) insecticide alone and in combination with Parthenium hysterophorus (PH), and Moringa oleifera (MO), on larval weight of Spodoptera litura, control (+ve) is untreated larvae, control (-ve) is methanol application.
Figure 2:
Survival rate of Spodoptera litura larvae after application of emamectin benzoate (EMB) alone and in combination with plant extracts, PH = Parthenium hysterophorus, MO = Moringa oleifera, untreated larvae were considered control (+ve) and methanol solvent was applied in control (-ve) treatment.
