In the backdrop of the recent revival of interest in developing plant-based insecticides, this study was carried out to investigate the pesticidal activity of Sundarban mangrove plants. A total of nine different plant parts from five plants, namely, <i>Aegiceras corniculatum</i>, <i>Excoecaria agallocha</i>, <i>Heritiera fomes</i>, <i>Xylocarpus moluccensis,</i> and <i>Xylocarpus granatum</i>, were extracted with methanol and tested for insecticidal activity against two common stored product pests <i>Sitophilus oryzae</i> and <i>Sitophilus zeamais</i> using direct contact feeding deterrent wafer disc method. Three bark extracts from <i>A. corniculatum</i>, <i>E. agallocha,</i> and <i>H. fomes</i> showed potent and statistically signiAdvances in pharmacological and pharmaceutical sciencesPesticidal Activity of Sundarban Mangrove Plant Extracts against <i>Sitophilus</i> Pests and Identification of Active Constituents Using LC-MS.PMC8695028CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/16_019/0000868Rouf RNahar LPaul RRAkter HBiswas CShilpi JARahman MAUddin SJNath SSarker SDfalsePesticidal Activity of Sundarban Mangrove Plant Extracts against <i>Sitophilus</i> Pests and Identification of Active Constituents Using LC-MS.Plants act as a rich source of novel natural pesticides.
