Abstract

In order to measure LARE extract efficiency against the adults of B. zonata in both of first generation and second generation of the same pest. Data showed that the concentration effect (1: 40) of LARE extract sprayed against adults of B. zonata (first generation) on three groups of fruits, Guava, Peach and Apricot were sprayed by hand sprayer under laboratory conditions during the season (2022) successively. The percentages of mortality after 24 h., 48 h. and 72 hours were 73.75%, 5% and 21.25% respectively. But in the case of second-generation experiments, laying eggs for females’ adults of B. zonata. Percentages total numbers of pupae were 100% of distorted adults exit were 32.56%. Data, illustrated that the percentage of (AChE), (GST) and (SOD) activity decreased significantly when sprayed LARE compared with the control by 22.5%, 39.14% and – 2.98% respectively.
