Phytochemical screening and anti-termite activity of the different solvent extracts of the Wild Indian almond, Sterculia foetida L. seed was studied in the present work. The seed powder of S. foetida was extracted by ethyl acetate, 98% methanol and water. All the extracts were subjected to phytochemical screening as per standard protocol and the results revealed that the presence of important secondary metabolites such as carbohydrate, amino acid, fats and oils, saponins, alkaloids, flavanoids and terpenoids. Later antibacterial activity of the all extracts were tested against two bacterial strains Styphylococcus aureus (G+ve) and Proteus mirabillis (G-ve) and the results revealed that the 98% methanolic extract was potent against both bacterial species at 30µg concentration. All extracts were subjected to anti-termite bioassay through Whatman filter paper method at different time duration. The results revealed that the 98% methanolic seed extract cause higher percentage of mortality compare than other extracts tested at 48 hours. Thus this study could help to develop potent plant based pesticide to control the insect pest like termites.
