abstract
Methanol, acetone and water crude extracts of Atalantia monophylla leaf were studied for ovicidal activity against Helicoverpa armigera. The sample concentration at 0.1, 0.2, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0% were used in present experiment. Among the three solvents tested at all concentrations for ovicidal activity, acetone extract 5% was found to be statistically significant( 49%) followed by methanol and aqueous leaf extract. Aqueous leaf extract even at 5.0% was noticed least value. The leaf extract tested was exhibited the presence of phytochemicals such as alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoid, saponins, phenols and anthraquinone in different solvent extracts.
