Figure 1:
Apterous and alate morphs of wheat aphid Schizaphis graminum (Rondani, 1852).
Figure 2:
Percent mortality (mean ± SE; n = 5) of S. graminum by methanolic plant extracts recorded at different time intervals. Treatment columns bearing different lowercase letters are significantly different from other treatments (factorial ANOVA followed by LSD test at α = 0.05) (See Table 2).
Figure 3:
Percent mortality (mean ± SE; n = 5) of S. graminum by different plant extracts recorded at difference time intervals. DAT = days after treatment. Treatment columns bearing different lowercase letters are significantly different from other treatments (factorial ANOVA followed by LSD test at α = 0.05) (See Table 3).
