<title>IMPACT OF NEEM OIL ON THE FEEDING PHYSIOLOGY AND PROTEIN ESTIMATION OF POLYPHAGOUS PEST (PERICALLIARICINI) (LEPIDOPTERA: ARCTIDAE) </title>
<abstract>Neem oil is used in manufacturing of insecticide, because it contains  lessThan i greaterThan Azadirachtin  lessThan /i greaterThan which affect over six hundred species of pests. It is completely safe to non-target organisms.  lessThan i greaterThan Azadirachtin lessThan /i greaterThan  acts as a famous natural anti- feedent, growth regulator and ovipositional repellent against insects, which makes it useful as a perfect alternative to chemical pesticides. The present investigation carried out on the biological effects of neem oil to control the  lessThan i greaterThan Pericallia ricini lessThan /i greaterThan . Neem oil plays on important role in evolving on ecologically and environmentally acceptable disease management system. Neem oil affects both the feeding and growth rates of  lessThan i greaterThan Pericallia ricini lessThan /i greaterThan . The results recorded in the present study that neem oil was less economic, less hazardous to the environment and it was effective to control the  lessThan i greaterThan P. ricini  lessThan /i greaterThan pest.</abstract>
