SYNERGISTIC INSECTICIDAL AND LARVICIDAL BOTANICAL COMPOSITIONS

摘要

A novel insecticidal and larvicidal botanical synergistic composition is disclosed comprising neem (Azadirachta indica) and kabuli keekar (Prosopis juliflora) plant pods extracts. Neem is known for it"s insecticidal activities but kabuli keekar does not have any insecticidal activity of it"s own. However, when kabuli keekar pod extract was used in composition with neem kernel extract, it showed a synergist effect on the insecticidal and larvicidal activities of the neem and the insecticidal and larvicidal activities of the neem were remarkably enhanced due to this synergistic interaction.
