Obtained data showed that cloves oil exhibited the highest reduction percentages and toxic action followed by neem extract, while damasesa extract was the lowest one. The larval duration was significantly affected by all treatments, as well as the total carbohydrates, proteins and lipidssuffered considerable reduction of the treated 4th instar larvae of S. littoralis whereas, they were highly significant with cloves oil and Azadirchtin extract non-significant with damasesa extract, except total lipids were significant with both neem and damasesa extract.
