Abstract: 
The med-fly, C. capitata, proved sensitive to the effects of a crude methanolic neem seed kernel extract incorporated in an artificial larval diet. Larval period was prolonged and high mortality occurred in pupae descended from surviving larvae. Pupal size decreased in a strictly dose-dependent manner with increasing neem extract concentrations. Using a multifactorial quality test, it was shown that low concentrations affected the quality of the surviving adults significantly.
