Evaluation of monocrotophos and Azadirachta indica oil, herein referred to as ‘Vijayneem’, were combined in ratios of 10% (10: 90), 20% (20: 80), 30% (30: 70), 40% (40: 60) and 50% (50: 50) [Monocrotophos: Vijayneem] under laboratory conditions to determine efficacy for properties of pesticidal, repellency, attraction, stimulant of consumption, development and reproduction. Asa biopesticide, Vijayneem oil (LC50 = 10.619%), caused greater mortality in dermal toxicity bioassays (LC50 = 18.045%) over ingestion. The greatest repellent activity was observed in third (Access Proportion Index = −0.25), fourth (API = −0.52) and fifth instar larvae (API = −0.67) in sprays of cotton leaves with monocrotophos. The detoxification enzymes like esterase (0.3, 11.1 μl/min/mg) and lactate dehydrogenase (6.8, 13.8 μl/min/mg) levels increased postingestion of treatments. Insects which ingested treated leaves showed an increase in carbohydrate (27.0, 18.0%), protein (4.7, 7.7%) and lipid (4.0, 10.4%) content. The greatest deformation of larvae, pupae and adults occurred in monocrotophos alone treatments, while the least deformities were recorded for monocrotophos + Vijayneem treatments. The male and female ratio and percentage of adult emergence was high in control than in A. indica oil alone treated S. litura. The greatest fecundity was observed in control (1620/4 female). In conclusion, the synergistic effects of A. indica oil + monocrotophos can be used for use the management of S. litura.
