Before sowing the seeds of sesame, they are treated with 50 g extract of wind killer (Clerodendrum phlomidis) and worm killer (Aristolochia bracteata). Wind killer is easily found on fence, boundaries and leaves are bitter in taste. While, worm killer is a weed creeper and green in colour. The fruits of worm killer are smaller in size and produced in bunches, normally observed in the month of August-September. The clear difference is observed in the treated and non-treated crops. The effect of this treatment lasts longer and there is no side effect of this practice.

"The results of bioassay experiment revealed very poor mortality effects by all extracts of scorpion root without significant differences from the untreated control, except the highest dose (5%) of leaves ethyl acetate extract which showed the best significant result, though hardly exceeded 50% mortality after three weeks post treatments [Mokhtar, Mokhtar&Satti, Abdalla. (2012). Insecticidal and repellent effects of Aristolochiabracteolata Lam. against TrogodermagranariumEverts.. International Journal of Science Innovations and Discoveries. 2. 559-566..]"

"Medicinal plants consist of chemical compounds which are used as natural medicines to treat common bacterial infections. In this study proposes Clerodendrumphlomidis and Scopariadulcis are important medicinal plants as its extracts showed good anti-bacetral activity against all organisms like Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Proteus vulgaris. The Iso-propyl alcohol extracts of both Clerodendrumpholmids and Scopariadulcis showed best result of larvicidal and pesticidal activity against the mosquito larvae Aedesaegypti, and the pests Sitophilusoryzae (Rice weevil). In the present investigation the n-butyl alcohol extacts of Clerodendrumphlomidis showed very good activity against all tested pathogens. This study Clerodendrumphlomidis in the traditional system of to treat various infectious diseases, caused by the microbes as well as in mosquitos and pest control [Lurdu Mary T and Thampi Raj S, Biocidal activity of Scopariadulcis and Clerodendrumphlomidis on human pathogens, Mosquito larvae and storage pest, Journal of Medicinal Plants Studies 2017; 5(5): 186-190] "

"Crude aqueous leaf extract of C.inerme was tested for its effect on total haemocyte count of sixth instar larva of Helicoverpaarmigera (H). After the treatment, the haemocyte count was found to be reduced and resulted in the increased per cent mortality of larvae, pupal and adult deformity, diseased larvae larval-pupalintermittants, hollow pupae ,flight less adults etc. This suggests that the crude aqueous leaf extract of C.inerme is having insecticidal properties and can be used to control the insects.
