| Abstract | ||||
| The insecticidal effectiveness of three acetone extracts from Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima), Dill (Anethum graveolens) and Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) against third larval instar of Lucilia sericata was investigated. The extracts were highly toxic, with median lethal concentrations (LC50S) of 1.37%, 0.31% and 0.87% for tree of heaven, dill and Coriander, respectively. The effects of median lethal concentration of these extracts on pupation and adult emergence percentage were also determined. The pupation and adult emergence percentage were markedly decreased after treatments. Treatments with LC50 disturb activity of acid and alkaline phosphatases, and protease enzymes. | ||||
