Spodoptera litura Fabricius pest control using botanical pesticide from papaya leaves extract (PLE) is an alternative to substitute chemical pesticides. The study aimed determine the levels of PLE's activity and evaluate effectiveness PLE different altitudes (low middle lands) cultivars (Thailand Indonesian) against attack S. larvae. An experimental with a randomized block design ( n=5 ) was co...

conclusions the achieved findings from this comparison between botanical characteristics and therapeutic activities of stachys based on modern researches and those of marmazad by referring to traditional manuscripts revealed significant similarities between them. also, there were some applications mentioned for marmazad in tim which could help new researchers in modern phytotherapy to deal with...

Mango Leaf Webber (Orthaga euadrusalis Walker, 1858) is a phytophagous insect feeding on mango leaves by scraping the leaf surface leaving behind midribs and habitat inside webbed bunch, which one of major pests in south Asian nations including Nepal. The infestation pest has potential to cause production loss 25-100% if not managed. Thus, management crucial protect collateral economics. For ma...

The use of botanical medicine by practitioners and the general public has dramatically increased in recent years. Most of these botanical therapeutics are obtained through commercial manufacturers or nutraceutical companies. The current standard of practice that manufacturers typically use to standardize botanicals is done based on the level of a well-known, abundant marker compound present in ...

Automatic text analysis tools have significant potential to improve the productivity of those who organise large collections of data. However, to be effective, they have to be both technically efficient and provide a productive interaction with the user. Geographic referencing of historical botanical data is difficult, time consuming and relies heavily on the expertise of the curators. Botanica...

Pyrolysis Mass Spectrometry (Py-MS) was used to investigate discrimination of honey samples from different floral (ten) and geographical (seven) origins. The data were analysed statistically (using Principal Component and Discriminant Factor Analysis) in order to check the possibility of the use of these profiles for characterising the botanical source of honey. Py-MS showed as a very useful to...
