Phytochemical screening and effect of ethanolic root extract of parameters on albino rats in Akwa Ibom State was investigated. were: haemoglobin concentration (Hb.), white blood cell count (WBC), red blood cell count (RBC), packed cell volume (PCV), platelet (PLT), haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC). of the extracts were examined intraperitoneally using albino ...

Biochemical and Toxicological Studies of Bridelia micrantha [Berth] and Mitracarpus villosus [Swartz] DC Extracts used as Biofumigant Against Stored Produce Insect Pests on Albino Rats

Background: In recent years, plant materials have been widely explored as sources of insect pest control agents with little or no study on their toxicity. The present study aimed to detect the biochemical alterations in liver and kidney associated with acute oral toxicity of the extracts of B. micrantha and M. villosus in albino rats. Methods: Twenty seven albino rats, weighing between 150-1...

Toxicity of Aromatic Plants and Their Constituents Against Coleopteran Stored Products Insect Pests

Hole density and capture of stored-product insect pests in grain probe traps.

The relationship between number of holes in a grain probe trap body and capture of stored-grain pests was determined in laboratory tests using adults of the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.), the sawtoothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.), and the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). Polyvinylchloride (PVC) probe bodies were attached to electronic sensor heads, and ins...

Toxic properties of certain botanical extracts against three major stored product pests

Acetonic extracts of melon pumpkin, Cucurbita maxima (Duchesne), Sweet Orange, Citrus sinensis (L.) and Sour Orange, Citrus aurantium (L.), were evaluated for insecticidal activity against adults of three stored product pests viz., Sitophilus oryzae (L.), Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) and Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), by filter paper diffusion method (direct contact application) and fumigati...
