Methanolic extracts of leaves & seeds of Portulaca oleracea were assayed for insecticidal and wormicidal activities in different
concentrations (1mg to 100 mg/mL) on Tribolium castaneum, Sitophilus oryzae and Lumbricus terrestris along with positive, negative
control and standard drugs. The crude extract showed no mortality in all doses in insecticidal activity but significant dose dependent
mortality was observed in wormicidal activity test.
