ABSTRACT

The insecticidal activity of the crude extract of Artemlsia monosperma and two conventional insecticides were tested against Ceratitis capitata adults, Tribolium castaneum adults, Aphis craccivora adults and Spodoptera litto rails larvae. Synergistic effects with chemical insecticides were also evident.
The most active fractions isolated from the above mentioned plant were identified using ultra-violet and infrared absorption spectra.

Key Words: Artemisia monosperma, Insect Pests.
