Abstract
Phenolic compounds were extracted from the seed coat of red gram (C. cajan) and added at different proportions to the diet of S. litura. The phenolic extracts was tolerated by the larvae when present at low levels, whereas higher phenolic extract concentration resulted in the mortality of the pest. The early stages of S. litura larvae was not able to tolerate the phenolic compounds. Residues obtained after the extraction of the phenolic compounds also contained substances responsible for the suppression of larval development. Chemical analysis of the phenolic compounds identified chlorogenic acid, gallic acid, hydroquinones and syringic acid as the major components.
