Abstract

Aphis gossypii Glover is an important pest of okra. This study evaluates the effect of alcohol extract of Schanginia aegyptiaca and Artemisia herba-alba on the mortality of nymphs under laboratory conditions. The results showed that the S. aegyptiaca was superior to the A. herba-alba plant extract in producing aphid mortality. Rate of nymphal mortality on plants treated with a concentration of 20 mg/ ml of S. aegyptiaca extract reached 73.32, 81.32, and 92.00% at the periods 24, 48, and 72 hr, respectively.
