Abstract | ||||
Extracts of six wild plants of Ambrosia maritima, sativum, Mentha spicata, Myoporum pictum, Nerium oleander and Rosa gallica were examined as contact toxic substances against 3-day old pupae and 2-day old adults of both Ceratitis capitata and Bactrocera zonata. Extracts of R. gallica leaves and A. sativum bulbils were the most efficient against pupae of C. capitata and B. zonata, respectively. On the other hand, leaves extract of N.oleander was the most effective against adults of both C. capitata and B. zonata recording the highest cumulative mortality (after 72 hours) of 55.93 and 90.00%, consecutively. As a general trend, adults of B. zonata were more susceptible to the tested extracts than that of C. capitata. | ||||
