Abstract: Combined effects of Lambda cyhalothrin and W. calendulacea plant extracts (synergists) were tested against house fly M. domestica L. in methanol. Lambda cyhalothrin offered synergism when used with W. calendulacea extract. It was observed that the plant extract behaves synergism from 1:1 to 1:5 ratios and above.
