Botanical pesticides are a new trend for pest management because they an environmentally safe alternative synthetic chemicals. The aim of this study was to investigate the insecticidal activity desert date (Balanites aegyptiaca %#91;L.%#93; Delile) seed oils against red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum Herbst) and determine oil chemical compounds by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Oils w...

As a devastating holoparasitic weed, Orobanche aegyptiaca Persoon. (Egyptian broomrape) causes serious damage to agricultural production and threatens economic development, which has raised widespread concern. The present study was conducted to determine whether lilies have the potential to be used as 'trap crops' for controlling O. aegyptiaca Persoon. In the experiments, the ability of three p...

Taverniera aegyptiaca Boiss is a wild plant is grown at the Red Sea coast, Egypt. Traditional uses of this species drive us to evaluate the phytochemical and pharmaco-toxicological aspects of the hydro ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of T. aegyptiaca. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of various bioactive secondary metabolites as flavonoids, terpenes, glycosides, saponins and ...

Balanites aegyptiaca trees have multiple benefits to people in the arid/semi arid regions of Nigeria. Despite importance this species, it is still found wild. In order encourage domestication tree study was conducted determine optimum light requirement and best sowing position B. seeds that would enhance germination. The experiment laid out a 4×3 factorial completely randomized design (CRD) rep...

It is not clear why herbicides targeting aromatic and branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis successfully control broomrapes-obligate parasitic plants that obtain all of their nutritional requirements, including amino acids, from the host. Our objective was to reveal the mode of action of imazapic and glyphosate in controlling the broomrape Phelipanche aegyptiaca and clarify if this obligatory ...
