Abstract


The mortality of Globitermes sulphureus against essential oil
Gliricidia sepium was investigated. High mortality was shown
by hexane extract compared to methanolic extract and DCM

towards 2.96 μg/ml (LD) of G. sepium. neophytadine and
coumarine are the compounds that cause mortality to termites.
