Abstract
The extract of <i>Agave americana</i>, <i>Agave cantala</i>, <i>Pterocarpus marsupium</i>, <i>Terminalia</i>, <i>Lantana camara</i>, and <i>Vateria indica</i> were studied for their antifeedant and repellent activity against grubs and adults of the furniture beetle, <i>Sinoxylon sudanicum</i> Lesne (Coleoptera : Bostrychidae). Acetone solutions of the extract were tested at different concentrations, i.e., 680, 340, 170, and 85 mug/ml. The extract of <i>L. camara</i> exhibited high antifeedant and repellent activity; however, <i>P. marsupium</i> and <i>T. paniculata</i> were found to be antifeedants and <i>V. indica</i> a repellent only. <i>A. americana</i> and <i>A. catala</i> exhibited neither antifeedant nor repellent activity against any stage of the insect.
