in several publication (Fletcher et al., 1999; Ndungua et al., 1999; Williams et al., 2003; Lazzeri et al., 2004). The
findings of the present study indicate the possibility of utilization of indigenous plants such as Cleome spp., as
insect control agents for safe use in stored grain protection. Based on this observation, the leaves and stems of
this plant were extracted and evaluated for biological activities for insect pest control.
