Synergism of Azadirachta indica A. Juss. and Piper sarmentosum Roxb. emulsion formulation against Nilaparvata lugens (Stål.)

Nilaparvata lugens, brown planthopper is an important rice pest that destroys rice by feeding on the plant sap and causing a condition known as ‘hopper burn’, where the plants are completely wilted, yellow and dried. The constant use of chemical substances had built the resistance of pests toward...

T9 caused highest nymph mortality after 72 hours treatment.

Stability and thermostability tests that were performed and successfully produced stable and homogenous nano emulsion. F4 can be selected as the best formulation because it has the best zeta potential (-65.0 mV) and viscosity value (67.2 mPa/s), the size is in nano emulsion size range (415.3 nm), remained homogenous for centrifugation and stability test, PDI value indicated it is in ideal monodisperse phase (0.418), low surface tension (35.2 mN/m) and low pH (4.0).

LC50 can control at least half of the treated population, while LC10 and LC25 can control 10% and 25% of population. Highest mortality can be seen on F2 (0.043 mg/l) and the lowest was F5 (0.117 mg/l). The value of lethal and sub lethal concentration were used in a test against female N. lugens to determine the effect of formulations on fecundity of N. lugens.
