Sterculia foetida
Chemosterilant in female housefly.
Further investigations are necessary to separate active compounds present in the promising extracts through partitioning these extracts by chromatographic techniques and to study their
chemosterilant, neurotoxic and genotoxic effects.
Adopting
chemosterilant CS in field control against the longicorm, Anoplophora glabripennis.
They also have
chemosterilant activity when females are exposed to them (Heller et al., 1992).
Among them use of
chemosterilants, biocides, allele chemicals, insect growth regulators and plant origin substances are growing up [9-10].
As a consequence, some authors have even proposed the use of certain PGRs as successful
chemosterilants against insect pests (Kaur and Rup, 2002; Paulson et al., 2005; Abdellaoui et al., 2013).
