This study evaluates the insecticidal potential of three locally available, less utilized plants viz. Ipomea fistulosa, Annona reticulata and Polygonum hydropiper. Leaf extracts of these were evaluated against four insect pests of black gram viz. Aphis craccivora, Apion clavipes, Maruca vitrata and Omiodes indicata. The results revealed that these extracts had both antifeedant activity and lethal effect. Extracts of I. fistulosa and A. reticulata were more effective.
