Antifertility, AD50 with effect of Artemisia vulgaris isolated leaf extract on hatchability was noted. These median antifertility doses 0.6529μg, 0.4753 percent and 0.5198 percent per weevil were obtained in topical, dipping and injection (12μl/weevil) methods respectively. Probit analysis for dose response data for Artemisia vulgaris leaf extract showed that linear relationship existed in between the concentration (Log x) and percentage antifertility induced (Probit Y). Mortality, LD50 was observed with effect of Artemisia vulgaris, isolated leaf extract during hatchability were 0.7589g; 0.4743 percent and 0.5139 percent per weevil were obtained in topical, dipping and injection (12μl/weevil) methods respectively. Probit analysis showed that a linear relationship existed in between the concentration (Log x) and percent mortality induced (Probit Y).
