Abstract

This study was done to check the effectiveness of bio-rational pesticides on wheat aphid (Schizaphis graminum (Rondani)) under field conditions. Faisalabad-2008 of wheat variety was selected to perform experiment. The extracts of five plants were used i.e., Garlic (Allium sativum L.), Red chili (Capsicum annum L.), Amaltas (Cassia fistula L.), Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus oblique L'Hér.) and Green chili leaves (Capsicum frutescent L.) were tested against wheat aphid population. The extracts were prepared through Soxhlet apparatus and applied at 15% concentration. The data was taken after 24, 48, 72 and 168 h of botanical application. Garlic (Allium sativum) + detergent showed highest while Green chili leaves showed least mortality against aphid population. These extracts may be used as an alternative of chemical insecticides and incorporated in integrated management program to manage different aphids on wheat crop.
