Abstract


Organotin compounds have been recently known for their use in insect control as an antifeedant and chemosterilant (Ascher and Rones, 1964; Kenega, 1965). There are enough findings with different organotins proving their antifeeding efficacy and many compounds for moth proofing have been evolved based on their antifeeding properties rather than on insecticidal effects. The present observation was designed to study the effect of TTH (Triphenyl tin hydroxide) on feeding activity of castor bean leaf caterpillar Pericallia ricini F. and Spodoptera littoralis Boesd. (Prodenia litura).
