Introduction
Botanical pesticides• The term botanical pesticide is used for microbial
biological pest control agents that are applied in a
similar manner to chemical pesticides. • Bio pesticides, key components of integrated
pest management (IPM) programs, are receiving much practical attention as a means to reduce the load of synthetic chemical products being used to control plant diseases.

Advantages of botanical pesticides• Do not leave harmful residues• substantially reduced impact on non-target species• when locally produced, may be cheaper than chemical
pesticides• In the long-term may be more effective than chemical
pesticides.
Disadvantages of botanical pesticides• high specificity, which will require an exact identification
of the pest/pathogen and may require multiple pesticides to be used
• often slow speed of action often variable efficacy due to the influences of various biotic and a biotic factors

Lantana camara
• Lantana camara (Verbenaceae) -perennial woody shrub -multicoloured flower clusters
• Lantana is now a major weed in many regions. It is regarded as one of the most serious weeds in plantation crops such as coffee, oil palm, coconuts and cotton.
• In addition to its weed status, lantana is toxic to sheep and cattle.
• Lantana camara contains a wide array of compounds exhibiting diverse range of bioactivity.
• Leaf extracts are reported to have antimicrobial, fungicidal, insecticidal & nematicidal activities.

• To prepare the pesticide from
Lantana camara
• To know the pests which can be controlled by the pesticide.
• To determine the recommended amount of pesticide
• To determine the pre harvest interval of pesticide.
• To know the advantage & disadvantage of prepared pesticide.

Lantana camara powder act as Bio pesticide to repel the following pests:-
• Maize weevil
• Rice weevil
• Bruchids
• Aphids
• Adult termites
• In our experiment we used maize weevil to determine the recommended amount & pre-harvest interval of that pesticide.

Determination of recommended amount of lantana camara pesticide for maize weevil
Materials-
• Pest boxes-4
• Connecting tubes-3
• 500g of Maize seeds
• 100 maize weevils
• Lamtana camara pesticide
• Four insect boxes were taken.
• Three boxes were connected with one common box by connecting tubes & the olfacto meter set up was constructed as shown by above figure.

• Then maize weevil movement from the common box to other three boxes was observed & number of maize weevils counted in each boxes.
• The observation was done every 24 hours & the results were recorded.
• The amount of pesticide powder was changed every day until minimum amount of pests available in box having pesticide+ maize seeds.
• Then observation & recording was done properly.

Determination of pre-harvest interval
• Pre harvest interval:-
The time between the last pesticide application and
harvest of the treated.
• Materials needed: Pest boxes-2 Connecting tubes-1 500g of Maize seeds 100 maize weevils 75g of Lamtana camara pesticide

Discussion
• The prepared pesticide is effective for pests like Maize weevil, Rice weevil, Bruchids, Aphids & adult termites. We select maize weevils for our experiment, because – It’s easy for doing experiments– Maize weevils can culture rapidly
• When we have put 75g & 100g of pesticide, it repelled about 96 out of 100 insects. If we increased the pesticide amount for more than 100g it may repel all the insects from maize. But minimum usage of pesticide is better. So we have considered the 75g of pesticide as recommended amount.

Characters of prepared pesticide
• It’s used to preserve the maize seeds during storage period against maize weevil.
• It’s also effective for like Maize weevil, Rice weevil, Bruchids, Aphids & adult termites.
• It’s a repellent pesticide & in powder form.• The recommendation amount for 250g of maize
seeds is 75g. So we have to use the maize seeds & pesticide in 10:3 ratios.
• The pre harvest interval of pesticide is 9 days. So we can consume the maize 9 days after the pesticide application.

ADVANTAGE OF PREPARED PESTICIDE
• The Lantana camara plant is widely available.
• Easy preparation of pesticide
• Preservation of pesticide is easy
• Effectively control the maize weevil during the storage
• It’s in powder form. So easy to handle. No need for the dilution.
• Non toxic pesticide for human.

DISADVANTAGE OF PREPARED PESTICIDE
• The recommended amount is high.( maize: pesticide in 10:3 ratio)
• The pre harvest interval is only 9 days. So repelling effect of pesticide is finished in 9 days.
• The pesticide is directly mixed with maize seeds. So it gives an unfavorable smell to the maize seeds.

Conclusion
• We have familiarized with the preparation of pesticide from Lantana camara
• The recommendation-75g of pesticide for 250g maize seeds.
• The pre harvest interval-9 days
