Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Psyllidae: Hemiptera) and Aphis gossypii Glover (Aphididae; are destructive sap-feeding pests of citrus cotton, respectively. This study assessed the toxicity potential indigenous flora Soon valley surrounding salt range (Punjab, Pakistan) against D. A. gossypii. Among acetone extracts 40 plant species, Mentha longifolia (L.) Huds., Melilotus officinalis Pall., Nerium...

two-spotted spider mite, tetranychus urticae koch (acari: tetranychidae), is one of the most injurious pests of fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants worldwide, both outdoor and indoors. currently the main method of control of this pest is through application of pesticides which is mostly accompanied by the resistance of the pest against pesticide(s). the resurgence of resistant mite populat...

background: mentha longifolia is one of the aromatic medicinal plant belongs to lamiaceae family. there are some active ingredients in the essential oil of m. longifolia, which potentially could impair the hepatic function. the aim of this study was to find the maximum dose of essential oil of m. longifolia (eoml) that does not show any hepatic deterioration. methods: adult wistar rats fed diff...

the essential oils of aerial parts of three medicinal plants artemisia khorassanica podl., rosmarinus officinalis l. and mentha longifolia l. were isolated by hydrodistillation and investigated for their toxicity and repellency against tribolium confusum jacquelin du val. at 27 ± 1 ºc and 60 ± 5% rh in darkness. the mortality of the adults increased with concentration from 185 to 1111 μl/l air ...

in the present study, a simple, fast and eco-friendly biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (agnps) using   mentha langifolia leaf extract as the reducing agent was investigated. nanoparticles forming were indicated by the color changes in solution and were confirmed by uv-vis spectrum, ft-ir analysis and scanning electron microscopic (sem) micrograph. the average particle size of produced agnps...

The antioxidant capacity of essential oils of Mentha spicata L., Mentha x gentilis L., Mentha crispa L., Mentha piperita L. and Mentha x piperita L. was determined by using differential pulse voltammetry. This assay was based on the reduction in the limiting current value of the oxygen electroreduction, which was used to calculate the antioxidant capacity (K) of these species. The species M. x ...
