Now, it is threatened by exotic insect called carmine cochineal (Dactylopius coccus Costa) infestation. Thus, a study was conducted to evaluate effect of botanical extracts from indigenous plant locally named as “Kotsili Mariam” on the Mortality of D. coccus. The experiments were carried out at two farm sites namely Agulae and Tsigreda, Tigray Regional State, Ethiopia. The result showed that the percentage of cochineal morality at both sites was 100% at a treatment combination of 480gm plant extract with 123ml at 72h after the initial spray. The effect of stock solutions which prepared at different period significantly affected mortality percentage of cochineal within 72h and 144h after the first spray. The study shows plant extracts from Kotsili Mariam has an insecticidal effect causing high mortality of cochineal insects. |
