Abstract
Present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of some water plant extract and their powders. Namely Quercus brantti , Eucalyptus camaldelulensis , Plantago lanceolata and Rumex dentatus on the biology of the house fly Musca domestica L. to find out the best way for their control. Water extract had a high mortality percentage on eggs of the house fly, Q. brantti and P. lanceolata were the highest with 78.8 %,72.2 % respectively followed by E. camaldelulensis and R. dentatus the lowest with 65.5 % and 51.1 % respectively. On larvae Q. brantti extract was the most effective with 71.8 % while R. dentatus extract was in respect of the last with mortality rate 48.8 % , also the Q. brantti was most effective on accumulative mortality rate with 83/.3% while R. dentatus extract record 63.7% respectively. Pupal weights was revealed proportioned with the concentration of the aqueous , the highest concentration the lowest the pupal weight, Plant powder had an affect on mortality of adults of house fly, when its used as colour traps. Results also revealed that aqueous extracts of E. camaldelulensis and R. dentatus had areplent affect , while extract of Q. brantti and P. lanceolata have been an attractive affect. Results also revealed that mortality rates of eggs and larvae increased with increasing concentration , the 5 % conce. was the highest mortality followed by 10 % but 1 % conce. was the lowest.
