Abstract

The study was conducted to evaluate acaricidal efficacy of Curcuma longa, curcumin and nanocurcumin against Rhipicephalus (B.) microplus. The in vitro evaluation of acaricidal efficacy of Curcuma longa, curcumin and nanocurcumin was done by adult immersion test and larval packet test. Ethanolic extract of Curcuma longa was used in three concentrations viz. 10, 15 and 20 per cent and curcumin and nanocurcumin at 10, 15 and 20 ppm against Rhipicephalus (B.) microplus and results were compared with standard chemical acaricide, deltamethrin.

 Keywords: Curcumin; Curcuma Longa; Nanocurcumin; Rhipicephalus (B.) Microplus; Deltamethrin
