Pyrethrum is derived from the dried flowers of the plant Tanacetum cinerariifolium. The name given to the active insecticidal components of the dried flowers is "pyrethrins". Tasmanian pyrethrum production is among the most innovative, high-tech agricultural industries in the world. With an output that nearly quadrupled since 1996, Botanical Resources Australia (BRA) now supplies more then 30% ...

Advance inoculation of the tomato cv. Celebrity or the pyrethrum clone 223 with host-incompatible Meloidogyne incognita or M. javanica elicited induced resistance to host-compatible M. hapla in pot and field experiments. Induced resistance increased with the length of the time between inoculations and with the population density of the induction inoculum. Optimum interval before challenge inocu...

Pyrethrum is a perennial herbaceous plant endemic to the eastern coast of Adriatic Sea, and introduced in large areas nearly all continents, where it cultivated for industrial extraction pyrethrins. Pyrethrins are group six closely related monoterpene esters, widely used as natural insecticides. The world production pyrethrins lower than market demand, wider introduction this crop within Medite...
