Studies of the
effect of allelochemicals or other insect growth regulator
on the development of insect are difficult using parameter
currently employed. By measuring the effect
growth-inhibiting of seed crude extract of : Annona
muricata; Azadirachta indica; and leaf crude extract of
Lantana camara on the Heliothis armigera larvae,
growth index (GI) and relative growth index (RGI)
calculation are demonstrated in this paper.
Index term:
Growth Index, Relative Growth Index, Annona muricata,
Azadirachta indica, Lantana camara, Heliothis armigera.
