Abstract: Afable. Angelito E. March 1998. “Insecticidal Potential of Leaf Extract of Psychic Nut on Anthurium Pests'. Thesis, Applied Research IV. Laboratory School, College of Education, Cavite State. University, Indang, Cavite. Advisers : Dr. Evelyn Singson Prof. Dulce Ramos The experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different concentrations of leaf extract of psychic nut on anthurium pests ; to determine the optimum concentration that can kill the pests ; to determine the specific pest and the stages of development of the insect that can be controlled by the extracts; and to determine the exact time where the concentration can kill the pests. Five anthurium farms around Indang were used as_ the Source of the pests. The pests were subjected to laboratory bioassay tests in a Randomized Complete Block Design. Brodan was used as an insecticide check. Results of the study showed that leaf extract of Psychic nut’ can effectively kill anthurium thrips and snails at 100% concentration. It was also observed that the nymphal stage of anthurium thrips is more susceptible to Jatropha extracts than adult thrips. Furthermore , maximum toxicity of leaf extract was observed 24 hours after treatment.
