The maggoticidal property of different botanicals against uzi maggots was studied by topical application of plant leaf extracts at 0.2, 0.4 and 0.8 per cent concentrations. Significantly higher maggot mortality of 46.00, 45.00 and 43.92 per cent was registered due to the application of Eucalyptus citriodora, Tridax procumbens and Tribulus terrestris at 0.8 per cent compared to distilled water spray (3.85 %) and absolute control (0.00 %). The pupation rate was reduced in the maggots treated with E. citriodora (75.20 %), T. procumbens (76.30 %) and T. terrestris (78.00 %) and found to be statistically superior to distilled water spray and absolute control. Significantly lesser adult emergence and fecundity were observed in the lots sprayed with E. citriodora, T. procumbens and T. terrestris than to distilled water and absolute control.
