Abstract:
Aqueous extracts of A. indica and M. azedarach leaves were assessed for qualitative phytochemical screening by using standard laboratory methods for the presence of secondary metabolites like alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, reducing sugars, Terpenoids, saponins, tannins. Both the extract shown presence of alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, tannins, phenolic compounds, glycosides, carbohydrates and terpenoids, whereas, absence of phlobatannin and proteins. The results suggested presence of phytochemicals having acaricidal properties in both the extract based on the qualitative phytochemical screening.
