Abstract 

The anthelmintic movement of ch3)2co and water extricates from the shoots of Cotyledon orbiculata, Hermannia depressa and Nicotiana glauca were researched utilizing the egg hatch, larval advancement and larval mortality examines. In all concentrates tried, C. orbiculata water separates at 7.5 mg/ml kept nematode eggs from incubating with 82.63% achievement. Different concentrates displayed egg hatch restraint in a level of under half. Thus, C. orbiculata water concentrates stifled nematode larval advancement at 85.32% when the centralization of 2.5 mg/ml was utilized trailed by 66.69% of H. depressa extricate at 7.5 mg/ml focus. In any case, N. glauca water and all ch3)2co concentrates incited the 100% larval improvement restraint. The in vitro larval death rate uncovered that the water removes from all the plants had the capacity slaughter all hatchlings at 2.5 mg/ml inside 48 to 96 h. The results from this study have demonstrated that the concentrates from the three plants can possibly avert and improve illnesses connected with gastrointestinal nematodes.

Key words: Cotyledon orbiculata, Hermannia depressa, larval mortality assay, Nicotiana glauca, anthelmintic drugs.
