Abstract
Neem seed extract was evaluated at a concentration of 50 p.p.m. azadir achtin for potential oviposition deterrence, and for effects on larval survival, adult longevity and fecundity in the cabbage fly (Delia rad icum). Oviposition was not deterred, nor was larval survival or fecund ity affected. Adult longevity was not significantly reduced when neem seed extract was added to the diet.
