Abstract
Effects of Ethanolic Extract of the Leaves of Pongamia glabra and Gliricidia sepium against Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) annulatus
Highlights
Tick control throughout the world is based mainly on the use of chemical acaricides
Linn. (Papilionaceae) (Synonym; leaf gall, Pongamia pinnata) which may be called as Galdupa indica, is a large tree found in tropical regions and coastal forests of India, North Australia, Southeast Asia and Malaysia (Krishnamurthy, 1969; Satyavati et al, 1987)
The results of adult immersion test using the ethanolic extracts of leaves of P. glabra and G. sepium are shown in Table 1 and 2
Summary
Tick control throughout the world is based mainly on the use of chemical acaricides. Their indiscriminate and repeated use has already resulted in problems related to environmental pollution, milk/meat contamination and the development of resistance in target species along with a subsequent increase in cost (Dipeolu and Ndungu, 1991; Jonsson and Piper, 2007). The use of extracts from various plants is being explored as an alternative to chemical acaricides because they are potentially less toxic to the animals and safer for the environment. Present study focuses mainly on the effect of the ethanolic extract of the leaves of P. glabra and G. sepium against adult female R. Present study focuses mainly on the effect of the ethanolic extract of the leaves of P. glabra and G. sepium against adult female R. (B.) annulatus
