Nishinda (Vitex negundo) leaves, stem barks and roots were sequentially extracted with organic solvents Pet spt, EtOAc, acetone and MeOH. Efficacy of these extracts was determined against adult and different larval instars of three strains of T. castaneum using residual film method. The degree of toxicity in the order was leavesstem barksroots. The LD50 values for first through fourth instar larvae were more or less similar whereas, LD50 for fifth instar larva and adults were the lowest. The degree of toxicity according to solvents was MeOHet spt.acetoneEtOAc. The susceptibility order...
