The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) is a mainliner pest of fruit orchards worldwide. To improve the control methods depended on natural materials, a laboratory study was carried out to valuation the toxicity and biological parameters of C. capitata, adult that applicate to mature stem and leaves of Euphorbia tirucalli L. extracted with some solvents such as, acetone,
ethanol, petroleum ether, and water. The Euphorbia tirucalli extracted with acetone was the more toxicity in comparison with anther solvent, and the LC50 and LC90 values were (2.04& 4.09) (1.56 &3.25), and (1.07&3.14) µg/ml post 24,48, and 72h. of treatment. The extract with acetone led to a decline in the oviposition period, hatchability percentage and, adult longevity of males and females of C. capitata at LC50. The insertion of E. tirucalli extract or its components into food could be beneficial in medfly manageable strategies.
