PAS_1	"The four medicinal plants reduced the mean leaf area consumed by 7day old larvae in the order M.indica (4.88cm2 )>B.orellana (6.07cm2 )>A.chinensis (10.06cm2 )>C.procera (15.34cm2 ). B.orellana was most toxic showing 96.66% terminal larval mortality. M.indica leaves showed a visible effect on the ecdysis and development of insects. The insects fed on M.indica leaves were not able to moult into the next instar and finally died. M.indica and B.orellana were most toxic as natural botanical control agents in limiting the insect population. C.procera and A.chinensis were also detrimental to S.litura 7 day old larvae showing 56.66 and 70% adult emergence. All the medicinal plants were effective in controlling the growth and development of S.litura."

PAS_2	"The insecticidal activity of n-hexane, methanol and water extracts of Tamarindusindica, Azadirachtaindica, Cucumissativus, Eucalyptus species, Switeniamahagoni, and Psidiumguajava leaves were investigated by using the Film residue method against a red flour beetle TriboliumcastaneumHerbst. The results showed that four plant extracts showed a strong to moderate toxicity at a different concentration on red flour beetle. Among them, Cucumussativus leaves extract showed highest mortality (80%) whereas Psidiumguajava extract showed lowest mortality (50%). Among the solvents, the hexane extracts showed a more toxic effect than other extracts. The LC50 results revealed that the hexane extract of Cucumussativus is the most toxic to the pest followed by the hexane extracts of Azadirachtaindica and Tamarindusindica. Qualitative phytochemical analysis has also been performed." [Mostafa, Dr & Hossain, Hemayet& Hossain, Md. Anwar & Biswas, Pizush&Haque, M.. (2012).
