  • Bioinsecticide Test of Crude Stem Bark Extracts of Some
    G.J.B.A.H.S.,Vol.2(3):28-31 (July – September, 2013) ISSN: 2319 – 5584 BIOINSECTICIDE TEST OF CRUDE STEM BARK EXTRACTS OF SOME MELIACEOUS PLANTS AGAINST SPODOPTERA LITURA Tukiran Chemistry Department, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, State University of Surabaya Jl. Ketintang, Surabaya, 60231, East Java, Indonesia. Abstract In the study of screening for bioinsecticides from plants, the activity of the stem bark extracts of some Meliaceous plants growth in Indonesia, namely Aglaia odorata Lour, Aglaia odoratissima Blume, Aglaia elaeagnoidea A.Juss, Sandoricum koetjape Merr. and Xylocarpus moluccensis (Lamk.) M.Roem was investigated. Solvent residues of these stem bark of plants were obtained from different solvent extracts (hexane, chloroform and methanolic extracts). All extracts dissolved in distilled water and added tween 80 (a few drops) as emulsifying agent were separately tested at various concentration (mg/L) continuously for 1, 2 and 3 days on the third instar larvae of the armyworm, Spodoptera litura. The results indicated the presence of bioinsecticide effect which was maximum of Sandoricum koetjape. This plant extracts (hexane and methanolic extracts) gave enough sensitive effects to the third instar larvae with LC50s of 104.24 and 170.23 mg/L, respectively after 3 days of application. Meanwhile, other plant extracts showed much less sensitive and relatively insensitive after 3 days of application because their LC50 values were more than 200 and 1500 mg/L, respectively. Keywords: Bioinsecticide, Lethal Concentration (LC50), Meliaceae, Spodoptera litura. 1. Introduction Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a polyphagous insect pest (Holloway, 1989). It is an indigenous pest of a variety of crops in South Asia and was found to cause more than 26-100% yield loss in groundnut (Dhir et al., 1992 as stated by Muthusamy et al., 2011).

  • Lao Flora a Checklist of Plants Found in Lao PDR with Scientific and Vernacular Names
    Lao Flora A checklist of plants found in Lao PDR with scientific and vernacular names 2 L. Inthakoun and C. O. Delang Lao Flora A checklist of plants found in Lao PDR with scientific and vernacular names Lamphay Inthakoun Claudio O. Delang Lulu Press First published 2008 by Lulu Enterprises, Inc. 860 Aviation Parkway, Suite 300 Morrisville, NC 27560 The book can be purchased or downloaded from http://lulu.com/lao_flora. Contents Introduction 1 Lao Flora Listed by Lao Script 13-121 Lao Flora Listed by Genus and Species 123-238 Introduction This introduction1 provides a brief synopsis of the forest habitats and ecoregions found in Lao PDR, as well as an overview of the related research on plant taxonomy. This is followed by a description of the structure and contents of the present volume and a citation of sources used to compile the present checklist. 1. Forest habitats and ecoregions in Lao PDR 1.1. Forest habitats Forest classifications can be vegetation-related (which implies that the factors used to distinguish forests are the physiognomic or floristic characteristics of the vegetation), biophysically- and climate-related (where broad environmental or geographic characteristics become the distinguishing factors), or management- related (which involves utilizing combinations of vegetation and non-vegetation criteria). These modes of classification are scale-specific: while global-scale classifications are largely based on climatic criteria such as rainfall and temperature, classification systems used at country- or smaller regional-level scales emphasise floristic and physiognomic characteristics as well as physical site factors (Wong, Delang, Schmidt-Vogt, 2007). These latter variables were taken into account by the National Office of Forest Inventory and Planning (NOFIP) when it classified the forests of Lao PDR (Manivong and Sandewall, 1992).

Malindang and Environs The Biodiversity Research Programme (BRP) for Development in Mindanao is a collaborative research programme on biodiversity management and conservation jointly undertaken by Filipino and Dutch researchers in Mt. Malindang and its environs, Misamis Occidental, Philippines. It is committed to undertake and promote participatory and interdisciplinary research that will promote sustainable use of biological resources, and effective decision-making on biodiversity conservation to improve livelihood and cultural opportunities. BRP aims to make biodiversity research more responsive to real-life problems and development needs of the local communities, by introducing a new mode of knowledge generation for biodiversity management and conservation, and to strengthen capacity for biodiversity research and decision-making by empowering the local research partners and other local stakeholders. The participatory rural appraisal in the lowland ecosystem of Mt. Malindang was conducted in 1999. Volume editors: Sylvia Katherine S. Lopez Carina S. Fule With the assistance of: Gerlie D.

Taguiling, PhD Ifugao State University, Nayon, Lamut, Ifugao, Philippines Abstract Any biodiversity conservation effort starts from baseline information. A biodiversity study was then conducted in the province of Ifugao, Philippines to provide first hand information on the status of macrofloral biodiversity in the area. Rapid assessment using plot method was used in the inventory of macrofloral species. Ethnobotanical survey of key informants was also conducted to record knowledge of community members on the uses of plant species found in the locality. Results revealed 69 families 134 genera and 214 species of macroflora. Shannon’s diversity index for trees and shrubs showed 3.59 to 3.7 corresponding to relatively high diversity. Of the species recorded, 36 were endemic to the Philippines, 4 vulnerable based on the 2010 IUCN red list and under CITES Appendix II. Forest areas with lower elevation showed higher species diversity than those with higher elevation. Description of species importance values, dominance, similarity index and floristic checklist were provided. Ethnobotanical survey revealed 38 species used as food plants, 25 species used as medicinal plants, 26 species with socio-cultural importance, 2 species identified as source of strong fiber, 5 species with pesticidal properties, and 1 species utilized as organic fertilizer. Issues and problems related to macrofloral biodiversity and suggested solution actions were described.

The forest areas in Ifugao are still rich in macrofloral diversity and can serve as a vital source for re-vegetation activities in areas with low plant density and diversity status.
