The literature of pesticide residue analysis is reviewed selectively for the period 1999-2000. Analyses of a wide range of pesticide classes and sample types, as well as some related organic pollutants, are covered. Studies of exposure and monitoring as well as pesticide degradation, persistance, leaching, mobility, and metabolism studies are included.

Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) is a major pest of corn. The usual control the use synthetic insecticides, but continuous or unwise insecticides will harm humans and environment. Therefore an alternative insecticide, called botanical pesticide that safe environmentally friendly such as extract citronella (Cymbopogon nardus L.) needed. purpose this study was to obtain effective...

Abstract Background Entomopathogens are frequent natural enemies of arthropods worldwide, and they capable alternative control agents against the important pests. The optimally selected botanical product can minimize their harmful effect on these entomopathogens, it becomes essential to know influence combinations botanicals biopesticides (botanical biopesticide combination (BBC)) in comparison...

In this study, the botanical pesticide Suaeda maritima (L) leaf extract was evaluated against yellow stem borer (YSB), Scirpophaga incertulas Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), and bacterial blight disease Xanthomonas oryzae pv. (Xoo), of rice. S. leaves were powdered subjected to various organic solvents, like petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, methanol based on polarity, in which acetate produced ...

The overall control of the quality of botanical drugs starts from the botanical raw material, continues through preparation of the botanical drug substance and culminates with the botanical drug product. Chromatographic and spectroscopic fingerprinting has been widely used as a tool for the quality control of herbal/botanical medicines. However, discussions are still on-going on whether a singl...

Natural product drugs, or botanical drugs, are drugs composed of natural substances which have constituents with healthenhancing or medicinal activities. In Korea, government-led projects brought attention to botanical drugs invigorating domestic botanical drug industry. Foreign markets, as well, are growing bigger as the significance of botanical drugs stood out. To follow along with the tende...

Botanical insecticides are relatively safe and degradable, and are readily available sources of biopesticides. The most prominent phytochemical pesticides in recent years are those derived from neem trees, which have been studied extensively in the fields of entomology and phytochemistry, and have uses for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. The neem products have been obtained from several specie...
