Abstract:The contact toxicity and stomach toxicity of extract from the root of Stellera chamaejasme against the larvae of Pieris rapae was tested. The experimentation on contact toxicity was conducted with micro topical application. In 72h, the median lethal dose (LD50) is 0.96 μg/larvae and the corrected mortality of the larvae treated with 1.25×10 μg/larvae is 92.2%. The experimentation on stomach toxicity was conducted by leaf-sandwich and mouthparts infusion. In 72h, the median lethal concentration (LC50) of the larvae treated by leaf-sandwich is 3.82×103 mg·L-1 and the correct mortality of the larvae treated with 5.00×104μg/larvae is 91.2%. LD50 of the larvae treated with mouthparts infusion is 3.80 μg/larvae and the correct mortality of the larvae treated with 1.00×102 μg/larvae is 96.8%. The toxicity of the extract mentioned above showed well contact toxicity and some stomach toxicity.
