Abstract
We have isolated a novel bioactive molecule from the roots of Decalepis hamiltonii that shows insecticidal properties against the stored-product insects Sitophilus oryzae, Rhyzopertha dominica and Callosobruchus chinensis by contact bioassay (LC 50 : 0.033-0.044 mg/cm 2 ). This compound proved effective as a grain protectant against stored product insects of wheat and green gram. The compound is a novel insecticidal molecule and a promising grain protectant of natural origin. Keywords : Decalepis hamiltonii , Decaleside- I, Insecticidal activity, Stored-product, insect pests, Grain protection
