Abstract

In this study, four chosen wildlife plants (Caralluma tuberculata, Capparis spinosa, Marrubium vulares, and Argemone ochroleuca) were extracted by ethanol and tested for their biological and toxicological properties against the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover (Homoptera: Aphididae), in a lab setting. The outcomes showed that the toxicities of different plant extracts against the cotton aphid A. gossypii varied. After 24 hours, the cotton aphid A. gossipyii displayed the highest mortality rate (91.67%) when treated with at 500 ppm concentration of Caralluma extract. These results were followed by 88.33, 83.33, and 75.83% mortalities when aphids were treated with the extracts of Capparis, Marrubium, and Argemone, respectively at the same concentration and observed time. When Caralluma (66.46 and 53.35 ppm) and Capparis (97.18 and 69.28 ppm) were treated after 24 and 48 hours, respectively, the LC50 values of cotton aphid A. gossipyii were significantly reduced. Also, the plant extract from Argemone demonstrated moderate repellent activity, as evidenced by the repellency rate of 73.33 at 500 ppm, while the plant extract from Caralluma had the highest repellent percentage of 97.78% at 500 ppm, followed by Capparis (93.33%) and Marrubium (86.67%) at the same concentration. In conclusion, the ethanolic extracts of C. tuberculate and C. spinosa demonstrate their potential uses as promising natural insecticides for aphid control.
