Abstract

This research was conducted with the aim of finding out the effect of alcohol extracts and chloroform for the leaves
and flowers of the sweet basil plant in some aspects of the life performance of the southern lobia beetle insect.
The study showed the effect of the concentration of the extract with the highest rate of eggs subjected to 72.8
eggs/female at the concentration of 0.25%, while for the extract type factor the highest egg laying rate was 71.9
eggs/female for an alcoholic extract sweet basil leaves, while the lowest egg laying rate was 58.1 eggs/female for
the sweet basil flower chloroform extract, The interference effect was the highest egg laying rate at 81.6
eggs/females at a concentration of 0.25% of sweet basil leaf alcohol extract, while the lowest rate was To lay eggs
28 eggs/female at a 1% concentration of chloroform basil flower extract.
The study showed that the effect of the concentration and type of extract in the percentage of egg hatching resulting
from adult treatment for the southern lobia beetle insect C. maculatus , The highest rate of egg hatching was 77.6%
at 0.25%, while for the extract type factor, the highest rate of egg hatching was 71.5% for the sweet basil leaf alcohol
extract, while the lowest rate of egg hatching was 65.8% for chloroform sweet basil flower extract. The effect of
interference was the highest rate of egg hatching at 81.6% at 0.25% concentration of alcoholic extract for sweet basil
leaves, while the lowest rate of egg hatching was 36.6% at 1% concentration of chloroform basil flower extract.
The study showed the effect of the concentration and type of extract in the percentage of larvae killed by adult eggs
treated for the southern lobia beetle insect C. maculatus, The highest rate of larval death was 13.7 percent at 1
percent. As for the extract type factor, the highest rate of larvae death was 32.7% alcohol extract for sweet basil
leaves, while the lowest rate of larvae death was 30.7% for chloroform extract for sweet basil leaves. The
interference effect was the highest rate of larval death at 15.6% at 1% concentration of alcohol extract for sweet
basil flowers, while the lowest rate of larvae death was 7% at 0.25%
