Abstract
The present study investigates phytotoxic, insecticidal and cytotoxic activities of samples extracted from Ziziphus mauritiana var. spontanea Edgew. and Oenothera biennis L. Good phytotoxic activity was measured by the ethanolic extract of Z. mauritiana var. spontanea and ethyl acetate extract of O. biennis against Lemna minor. Ethyl acetate samples of Z. mauritiana var. spontanea and O. biennis was very active against Rhizopertha dominica and Sitophilus oryzae respectively. Maximum activity against brine shrimps was noted for the ethanolic samples of Z. mauritiana var. spontanea and O. biennis ethyl acetate extract. Phytochemical screening of different solvent extracted samples of Z. mauritiana var. spontanea and O. biennis confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, saponin and tannins
