| Ingredients | Extracts of Calotropis procera |
| Details Of Innovation | Extracts of Calotropis procera were tested on the third instar larvae of the teak skeletonizer (Eutectona machaeralis) in the laboratory to evaluate their antifeedant and insecticidal effects. It was found to be effective as a potent antifeedant. (Ref: Meshram P B, 1995, Special issue: focus on teak. Indian Forester. 121: 6, 528-532; 7) |
