| Abstract | ||
| The present study conducted to determine the efficacy of aqueous and ethanolic fruits extracts of melia azedarach on adult reproductive capacity and longevity The result showed that the cold water or ethanolic alcohol extracts for fruits or leaves of Sibabhah caused negative effects on female fecundity، where the lowest average number of eggs per female (65.67, 41.33) when adults exposure to 35 mg/ml ethanolic alcohol extracts for fruits and leaves respectively , and these extracts caused relativity low eggs hatching percentage in all concentrates which used in the present study , where the lower hatching percentage (85.67, 88.00).% When adults exposure to 35 mg / ml alcohol extracts for fruits and leaves respectively , while no effects showed on eggs incubation period , there are inverse correlation between extracts concentration and adult longevity percentage, the results showed that the etanolic alcohol extracts for fruits and leaves caused the lowest adult (male and female ) longevity percentage compared with result of cold water extracts . | ||
