Effects of the extract obtained from the dieffinbachia picta leaves were examined on the termite workers of microcerotermes diversus using four treatments (t) including 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% by spraying. the results showed mortality rate in the termite workers at different periods of time. t100% recorded the highest mortality rates (8%, 8.67% and 9%) after 24, 48 and 72 hours respectively, while the minimum mortality in the insect workers was recorded at t25% as 1.7%, 2.3% and 3.7% after 24, 48 and 72 hours respectively. according to results of the present study, there is a possible advantage of the toxic properties of d. picta leaves as an alternative and effective plant pesticides for combating the termite of m. diversus.
