Abstract
The ectoparasites produces severe economic and production loss in farm animals throughtick bites, sucking of blood, tick worry, tick toxicosis, tick paralysis and transmission of haemoprotozoan diseases.& nbsp; Ticks developed resistance against chemical acaricides and also the residues of chemical acaricideproducing environmental pollution. The herbal based acaricide used as biocontrol agent for protecting environment particularly hilly area. As per indigenous technical knowledge records,the Nicotianatabacumwas a traditional control remedy for control of ectoparasites in India. In vitro acaricidal efficacy of crude aqueous leaf extract of Nicotianatabacumalong with neem and turmeric followed by Annonaleaveson immature and adult stages of Rhipicephalussp.was carried out at different concentrations of with different time interval. These extract combo had a significant effect on the mortality of nymphal and adult stages of ticks. The 70%,80% and 90% mortality of Nymphal and adult stages of ticks at 24-36 hours post treatment with 40%, 50% 70% concentrationof herbal extract in invitro assay. The mortality rates of ticks increased with the increasing the extract concentrations both in vivo and in vitro.Nicotianatabacumcauses paralysis of ticks and leads to detachment from the body of animal andconcluded that Nicotianatabacumalong with turmeric and annonaextract is effective biocontrol agent for controlling ectoparasites without any environmental pollution and harmful side effect in animal health.
