Insecticidal activity of Neemazal against House fly

Abstract

Experiment was conducted in the Laboratory of Entomology and Zoology, Department of Plant Protection, College of Agricultural Studies (Shambat), Sudan University of Science and Technology (SUST) in the period of April-May, 2016. This study aimed to test the effectiveness of (NeemAzal-T\S) against the larvae of house fly (Musca domestica). Three concentrations of NeemAzal- T/S were used (4, 2, 1 ml/liter) in this experiment. The results showed that all concentrations induced significant mortality percentage when compared to untreated control. After 1 hour higher concentration 4ml/l induced mortality of 36.7% and continuously increased till reached 100% after 24 hrs. While other concentrations caused mortality % between 26.7- 60 % after 24 hrs post treatment. From these mentioned results we conclude that NeemAzal T/S was effective against the larvae of house fly, and it could be used as one of the alternative bio-pesticide against this pest in the future.
