cqvip:Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of Atalantia monophylla(A.monophylla)leaf in different solvent crude extracts and fractions against eggs of Spodoptera litura(S.litura).Methods:Hexane,ethyl acetate and chloroform solvent extracts of A.monophylla leaf and 12 fractions from hexane extract were screened at 5.0%t,2.5%,1.0%and 0.5%for crude extracts and 1000,500,250 and 125 mg/kg for fractions against the eggs of S.litura for the ovicidal activity.LC_(50)and LC_(90)were calculated using probit analysis.Results:Hexane crude extract showed maximum ovicidal activity of 61.94%at 5.0%concentration with a correlation value of r^2=0.81,and least LC_(50)value of3.06%.Hexane extract was fractionated using silica gel column chromatography and 12 fractions were obtained.Fraction 9 was active which showed maximum ovicidal activity of 75.61%at 1000mg/kg with the LC_(50)value of 318.65 mg/kg and LC_(90)value of 1473.31 mg/kg.In linear regression analysis,significant and high correlation(r^2=0.81%)was seen between concentration and ovicidal activity of hexane crude extracts and its active frsctien.Conclusions:As per our knowledge,this is the first report for ovicidal activity of A.monophylla against S.litura,A.monophylla could be used for the management of S.litura and other insect pests.
