It is about people. It is about trees only so far as they can serve the needs of people‖ -Jack Westoby 4 Foreword People of Nepal are heavily dependent on forests for the supply of fuel wood, fodder and timber. The annual estimated consumption of traditional fuel is 11.3 million m3 of which dung and farm residues supply 28% in the terai and 18% in the hills. Of the total fuel-wood supply, 14 % in the terai and 33% in the hills is obtained from private wood lots.

    BIO EFFICACY OF SOME PLANT EXTRACTS AGAINST SUGARCANE STALK BORER CHILD AURICILIUS DUDGEON (LEPIDOPTERA: CRAMBIDAE) ^ •••-.X V X ABSTRACT '\ THESIS ^^ SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF ZOOLOGY '^p-' (ENTOMOLOGY) .^ BY RASHID MUMTAZ DEPARTMENT OF ZDaLOCSY AL.IC3ARH MUSLIM UIMIVERSITY ALJGARH ((NiOfA) 2005 ABSTRACT Bio efficacy of some plant extracts against sugarcane stalk borer Chilo auricilius Dudgeon (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Sugarcane is liable to attack by insect pests right from planting till harvest. The pests cause enormous losses both in tonnage and recovery of sugar in the mill. It is estimated about 8 to 10 percent of total sugarcane crop in the country is damaged by insects every year and this works out to a loss of 80 to 100 corers of rupees. The occurrence of drought and flood influenced the heavy buildup certain pests over large areas in epidemic from. (Siddiqui, 1960; Verma et, al. 1991). In general, the insect pest problems of sugarcane are more sever in subtropical belt than the fropical belt. Widespread use of synthetic pesticides has led to the development of pesticidal resistance in a large number of insect pests (Saxena and Khan, 1986). There has been an urgent need for selective and effective pest control methods which can be easily included in the modem pest management concept (Back, 1972) new bioactive products will be needed which are pest specific. Ecofriendly to man and other beneficial organisms biodegradable, less prone to development of pest resistance and economical viable. Insecticides of plant origin provided a substantial answer to many of the problems particularly the environmental pollution and ecofriendly in nature.

New Forest- 248006, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. Accepted 9 September, 2011 Calotropis procera belonging to family Asclepiadaceae, is one of the important medicinal plants that is being used since years to treat many ailments. It is used either alone or with other medicines to treat common diseases such as fever, rheumatism, indigestion, cough, cold, eczema, asthma, elephantiasis, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. According to ayurveda, dried whole plant is a good tonic, expectorant, depurative and anthelmintic. In the present study, different extractives of leaves of C. procera have been screened for their larvicidal activities against important defoliators ( Clostera cupreata ) of Poplar and ( Plecoptera reflexa ) of Shisham. The 3rd instar larvae of C . cupreata and P. reflexa were exposed to a wide range of concentrations (0.625 to 2.00%) of LC 50 value of each extract along with their control. The phytochemical analysis of these extracts suggested the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, proteins, terpenoids, sterols and flavonoids. The data indicate that leaf extracts of C. procera may be utilized as the probable candidates for the development of bioinsecticides to control the population of Poplar and Shisham defoliators as safer and economic alternatives to the synthetic insecticides.

Of the species recorded, with reference to their published distribution ranges, 11 species from five families appear to be new records for India, range extensions were noted for 130 species from 16 families, and 25 species from six families are endemic to India. The dominant families were Erebidae, Geometridae, Sphingidae and Crambidae. The highest number of moths were recorded from Malshej Ghat, Sanjay Gandhi National Park and Bheemashankar Wildlife Sanctuary. The highest species diversity was recorded from Sanjay Gandhi National Park. Amboli, Koyna Wildlife Sanctuary and Malshej Ghat showed a number of new records and seem to support interesting and endemic moth fauna.
