Abstract

The insecticidal effectiveness of three acetone
extracts from Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima), Dill (Anethum
graveolens
) and Coriander (Coriandrum sativum) against third larval
instar of Lucilia sericata was
investigated. The extracts were highly toxic, with median lethal concentrations
(LC50S) of 1.37%, 0.31% and 0.87% for tree of heaven, dill and Coriander, respectively. The effects
of median lethal concentration of these
extracts on pupation and adult emergence percentage were also determined. The
pupation and adult emergence percentage were markedly decreased after
treatments. Treatments with LC50 disturb activity of acid and
alkaline phosphatases, and protease enzymes.
