Abstract
Citrus clean was used to test its efficacy as repellent, ovipositional dete rrent and ovicidal against C. Chinensis (L). It significantly reduced the o viposition in treated seeds. It also exhibited 66.65% egg mortality. Citrus clean has also shown 100% repellent action against pulse beetle.
