Mosquitoes are responsible for human and animal health problems in tropical and subtropical areas of the world. They transmit malaria, filariasis, chikungunya, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis and dengue fever. Personal protection can prevent the victims from mosquito bites. After application of synthetic mosquitocides, several allergies like contact urticarial, skin eruption and encephalopa...

Efficient control of Tetranychus cinnabarinus (B.) is in challenge worldwide. Herein we report the use of an amphiphilic block copolymer, poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(caprolactone) (PEO–PCL), as a micellar carrier to make formulations of ricinine, a water insoluble botanical pesticide, and the tests of their physical properties and moreover the acaricidal activity on Vigna unguiculata (L). Compa...

The bioefficacy of various plant extracts, namely Azadirachta indica A. Juss, Khaya senegalensis Desrousseaux (A. Jussieu) and Hyptis suavuolens (L.) Poit, either alone or in combination with half the recommended dose of synthetic pesticides, was studied with farmers to find a more sustainable strategy for the management of bollworms in cotton. A number of treatments were farmer innovations. Th...

Botanical pesticides have gradually become accepted for use in the control of agricultural pests. In order to clarify active compounds ginger (Zingiber officinale) shoot extract (GSE) and its inhibitory effect on growth sorghum aphids (Melanaphis sorghi). this study, LC-MS/MS was used determine major GSE, leaf disc method explore insecticidal response mechanism aphids. The results showed that p...

Gambir (Uncaria gambir) is a herbaceous plant that has alkaloid level sin the form of chemicall compounds suchas catechins, tannin catecu (tannin/tannat), querchitin, flouresin, and several other compounds. The aim this study to deterine effectiveness concentration gambir leaf extract (U. Roxb), against mortality fire caterpillarpest (S.asigna). Research was arrenged in anonfactorial Randomized...

Fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, is currently a major and invasive pest that threatening global maize production food security especially in sub–Saharan Africa. Its tolerance to several available synthetic pesticides has led research into novel management strategies. An vitro laboratory bioassay was conducted at Bindura University of Science Education determine the LD50 for AgriX365, botan...

Crocidolomia binotalis (Cb) (Zeller) is one of the main pests cabbage which difficult for farmers to control in Ijen Crater Indonesia. The demand Indonesia increasing every year, so intensification efforts are continuously being made. Farmers intensively use synthetic pesticides as primary Cb. purpose this study examine several agents that can be used an alternative pesticides. Then, it provide...

Polyploidization in plants, which involves doubling or further multiplying of genome, has the potential to improve constituents that make medicinal like Ajuga reptans, attractive pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food production industries; botanical pesticide effects could also be derived. The aim this study was determine how artificial polyploidization A. reptans plants affected composition quan...
