  9. CLEOME GYNANDRA : EXAMPLE OF FREE TEXT NOTES DEALING WITH NON-VERTEBRATE POISONS NON-VERTEBRATE POISONS - ARTHROPODA Acari, leaves,repellent, death:The leaves have anti-tick properties. They have repellent and acaricidal properties for larvae, nymphs and adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and Amblyomma variegatum ticks. Ticks may not be found for a distance of 2-5 m from the plant [5188] . Coleoptera, Homoptera, seeds, death:The extract from the mature seeds is toxic to brinjal aphid (Aphis gossypii Glov.) and the larvae of Heliothis armigera (bollworm) [5188] . Insecta, leaves,death, repellent, plant pest control:Spiderplants are known for their insecticidal and insect-repellent characteristics. Sprays of aqueous leaf extracts may cause considerable reduction in aphid and thrip populations. When used as an intercrop with cabbages, there was found to be a profound effect on diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella L., populations of which are considerably reduced when on when one row of cabbages was alternated with one row of spiderplants [5345] . Lepidoptera, anti-feedant:The plant has an anti-feedant action against the tobacco caterpillar (Spodoptera litura F.) [5188] . Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, death:The ethanol extract is toxic to insect pests, such as the painted bug (Bagrada cruciferarum Kirk) and the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) of cruciferous vegetables [5188] .
