Ingredients	leaves of wind killer plant (Clerodendron phlomidis)
Details of Innovation	Farmers across the country have adopted these methods to prevent damage to their crops. In the tribal areas, they use leaves of wind killer plant (Clerodendron phlomidis) to store grains. For this, leaves of wind killer plant are crushed and juice is extracted. This juice is mixed with grains to be stored. Allow the grains to dry and then fill them in earthen jar or other box. An extract of about 500 ml is used for 40 kg of grains or seeds. The wind killer plants are mostly found in hilly areas. Juice of this vegetation is bitter in taste.

PAS_1	"Antifeedant and larvicidal activities of hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts of Clerodendrumphlomidis and Flueggealeucopyrus at 5, 2.5, 1.0 and 0.5% were studied against III instar larvae of Eariasvittella. Hexane extract of F. leucopyrus and chloroform extract of C. phlomidis showed maximum antifeedant activity of 81.00 and 80.48%, respectively at 5% concentration. The least LC50 and LC90 values of 1.21 and 1.36% for hexane extract of F. leucopyrus and 4.96 and 5.11% for chloroform extract of C. phlomidis, respectively. Cent percent larvicidal activity was observed in chloroform extract of C. phlomidis at 5% concentration, while hexane extract of F. leucopyrus recorded at 87.52 and 5% concentration. The LC50 and LC90 values for larvicidal activity ware 0.51 and 1.74% for chloroform extract of C. phlomidis and 1.74 and 4.69% for hexane extract of F. leucopyrus, respectively. No adult emergence was observed at all concentrations of C. phlomidis chloroform extract and at 5 and 2.5% concentrations of F. leucopyrus hexane extract." [C. Muthu, K. Baskar, S. Kingsley and S.

PAS_2	"TheIso-propyl alcohol extracts of both Clerodendrumpholmids and Scopariadulcis showed best result of larvicidal and pesticidal activity against the mosquito larvae Aedesaegypti, and the pests Sitophilusoryzae (Rice weevil). In the present investigation, the n-butyl alcohol extacts of Clerodendrumphlomidis showed very good activity against all tested pathogens."
