Au Sénégal, le chou est l’un des légumes les plus cultivés et consommés, de par son cycle relativement court (60-90 jours après repiquage) et sa possibilité d’être cultivé toute l’année. Cependant il est attaqué par plusieurs ravageurs tels que Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae), Hellula undalis (F.) (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) et Spodoptera littoralis (B.) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae). L’objectif de cette étude était de contribuer à la lutte contre ces ravageurs du chou en culture dans la zone des Niayes en utilisant les extraits aqueux à base de feuilles de Calotropis procera (Apocynaceae). L’étude a été menée sur 28 parcelles élémentaires dans la zone des Niayes (durant la période du 3 janvier au 22 mars 2019). Les formulations d’extrait de feuilles de C. procera utilisant comme solvant l’eau de robinet et l’eau de puits (ER et EP), appliquées à des temps différents le matin (ERM, EPM) et le soir (ERS, EPS) ont montré leurs efficacités sur les larves de P. xylostella et H. undalis. Par contre, les extraits ne sont pas efficaces sur S. littoralis (P-value= 0,672). En plus de leurs effets biocides, les extraits à base de feuilles de C. procera semblent accélérer la croissance des plants de chou. La nature du solvant et la période du traitement n’ont pas montré une différence significative.Mots clés : Biocide, Brassicassée, Niayes, lutte biologique English title: Aqueous extracts effect of Calotropis procera on the principal cabbage pests in culture in Senegal In Senegal, the cabbage is one of the most cultivated and consumed vegetables, from its relatively short cycle (60-90 days after road repair) and the possibility of being cultivated all the year. However it is attacked by several pests such as Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae), Hellula undalis (F.) (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) and Spodoptera littoralis (B.) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae). The objective of this study was to contribute on protect against cabbage pests in culture in the zone of Niayes by using the aqueous extracts containing sheets of Calotropis procera (Apocynaceae). The study was undertaken on 28 elementary pieces to in the zone of Niayes (during the period of January 3 at March 22, 2019). The formulations of extract using as solvent the water of tap and the water of well (ER and EP), applied to different times morning (ERM, EPM) and evening (ERS, EPS) showed their effectiveness on larvae of P. xylostella and H. undalis. On the other part S. littoralis was resistant to treatment (P=0,672) confirms it. In addition to their biocides effects, the extracts containing sheets of C procera seem accelerated the cabbage patches growth. The nature of solvent and the treatment period did not show a significant difference.Keywords: Biocide, Brassicasseae, Niayes, biological control

In developing countries, crop deterioration is mainly caused by inappropriate storage conditions that promote insect infestation. Synthetic pesticides are associated with serious adverse effects on humans and the environment. Thus, finding alternative “green” insecticides is a very pressing need. Calotropis procera (Aiton) Dryand (Apocynaceae) growing in Saudi Arabia was selected for this purpose. LC-MS/MS analysis was applied to investigate the metabolic composition of different C. procera extracts. Particularly, C. procera latex and leaves showed a high presence of cardenolides including calactin, uscharidin, 15β-hydroxy-calactin, 16β-hydroxy-calactin, and 12β-hydroxy-calactin. The ovicidal activity of the extracts from different plant organs (flowers, leaves, branches, roots), and of the latex, against Cadra cautella (Walker) (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) was assessed. Extracts of C. procera roots displayed the most potent activity with 50% of C. cautella eggs not hatching at 10.000 ppm (1%).
