Its active constitutes were extracted,separated and purified. The results indicated that the extraction of petroleum ether from WCME （Wikstroemia chamaedaphne methanol extract） appeared a strong acarocidal activity. The adjusted mortalities of egg,larva and female mite were 74.48%,100.00% and 100.00% respectively, while the LC50 values were 2.106 2、0.304 1 and 0.771 6 mg·mL-1 respectively.展开更多
