Several synthetic pesticides used to control stored pests were applied during the storage period, providing total protection. At the same time, the chemicals' lingering effects have several negative consequences for humans and the environment. To discover an alternate method, the larvicidal and repellent activities of different solvent extracts of Impatiens balsamina were investigated in the current study. The results obtained from the experiment showed that the plant extracts offered significant protection. So it can be concluded that the Impatiens balsamina will substantially replace the application of chemical pesticides in the near future at the same time, the detailed analyses of the different phytochemicals and their structural elucidation warrants the further exploration of the selected plant species.
