Insecticides, Insect Repellants, and Attractants from Arid/semiarid-land Plants
نویسنده
چکیده
Four weeds (Acorus calamus, Artemisia tridentata, Heliopsis longipes, and Tagetes minuta) and three cultivated plants (Azadirachta indica, Mammea americana, and Ocimum basilicum) are potential candidates for crop development and commercialization for sources of insect attractants, repellants, or toxicants. Although all could be commercially viable, the neem tree (A. indica) is by far the most likely to succeed. Its development in the Southern United States and Central and South America is highly recommended.

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is an important fiber crop in Iran, cultivated on 150000-200000 ha of land. In Iran the estimated loss due to the insect pest is more than 30%. Traditionally, pests are controlled by 10-12 times spraying per growing season of environmentally harmful chemical insecticides (e.g. endosulfan and/or methosystox). In order to produce transgenic cotton resistance to in...
