Abstract
Ursolic acid isolated from the leaves and stems of Duboisia myoporoide s (Solanaceae) was bioassayed by leaf disc method for feeding deterren ce using Spilosoma obliqua and Spodoptera litura as test insects. This compound was proved to be a potent antifeedant under laboratory condi tions. Azadirachtin was used as standard. Ursolic acid produced 90.12% and 91.96% inhibition at 5000 ppm concentration, respectively, agains t S. obliqua and S. litura.
