Abstract
This study investigated the mothcidal efficacy of powders of Alstonia boonei (De wild) stem bark and Acalypha godseffienna (Muell Arg.) leaf at ambient temperature (28±3ºC) and relative humidity (75±6%) against adult Sitotroga cerealella infesting paddy rice.

The control experiment was also set-up for each botanical. Generally, both botanical powders significantly (p
