Abstract

Curcuma longa Linn. (Turmeric) is a perennial herb known for its medicinal properties and is a common ingredient in Ayurvedic medicine, used for the prevention and treatment of several health disorders. Turmeric is also used as a common product in traditional pest management practices in India. As the pertinent problems associated with long-time exposure to chemical insecticides are becoming well known, the search for more eco-friendly alternatives has become necessary. In the present study, we aim to understand the efficiency of turmeric as a potent botanical against the common stored grain pest of legumes, Callosobruchus chinensis. Computer–based in-silico techniques are used as they allow a faster and more precise assessment of drug action. Direct toxicity tests are performed and the results are corroborated with the in-silico simulations to confirm the efficacy of turmeric as a potent botanical in management of C. chinensis.
