Abstract
The extracts of stem and seeds of Piper ribesioides (Piperaceae) were prepared in hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate and ethanol and evaluated for their efficacy against 3-day-old adult brown plant hoppers, Nilaparvata lugens Stal under laboratory conditions. The treatment was given topically and results suggest the dose dependent response related to exposure time. The ethyl acetate extract was the best with an LC50 = 738 ppm-, 24 h post-treatment. There was substantial increase in activity (LC50 = 27.298 ppm) with the increase in duration of exposure. This trend was observed in all treatments that suggests the potential of Piper ribesioides as an insecticide for N. lugens as an alternative control.
