Control programs using conventional insecticides to target anthropogenic mosquito habitats are very expensive because these habitats are widespread, particularly in cities of most African countries. Additionally, there are serious environmental concerns regarding large-scale application of most conventional insecticides. Clearly there is a need for alternative methods that are more effective, l...

Harvester ants (Messor galla Forel) defied various control strategies. Two field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of Spent Engine-Oil and other nature-based materials on their emergence in Maiduguri, Borno State of Nigeria. The treatments evaluated are spot application of spent engine-oil and some natural materials in experiment 1 and individual and equal mixture of Pure Neem ...

Neem (Azadirachta indica A. Juss) is one of the most versatile tropical evergreen tree species known in India since the Vedic period (1500 BC-600 BC). Neem tree is a rich source of limonoids, having a wide spectrum of activity against insect pests and microbial pathogens. Complex tetranortriterpenoids such as azadirachtin, salanin and nimbin are the major active principles isolated from neem se...

Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Meliaceae) is indige­ nous to the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent and its various parts are reputed as therapeutic agents [2, 3]. Some of the constituents of neem have recently been shown to possess significant pesticidal activity [4]. More recent studies undertaken on the fresh, un­ dried, uncrushed, ripe and unripe, fruits and the un­ dried leaves of the plant by Siddiq...

The current study was design to exploit the Azadirachta indica leaves, seeds and twigs for %yield, phytochemicals content antioxidant activities using infusion, hydroalcoholic, decoction microwave extraction techniques. contents were determined by standard reported methods. While activity assessed three (03) standards In-vitro test systems as 1, 1’-diphynyl- 2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), Hydrogen pe...

Population growth, coupled with industrialization and urbanization, has resulted in an increasing demand for water thus leading to water crisis and serious consequences on the environment. The effluent stream released from the industries mainly comprises of hazardous chemicals and heavy metal ions. Chromium is abundant in nature and has a dominant presence in most of the effluent streams as com...

Neem (Azadirachta indica) and Tamarind (Tamarindus leaves are used worldwide for their wide range of medicinal properties like antibacterial, antiprotozoal, hepato-protective other properties. The present study was conducted to observe the effects as anthelmintics in cattle. Animals were selected grouped into four groups where Group A considered control, B treated with grinded leaves,...

Introduction: Azadirachta indica (Neem) may be a rapid-growing plant even in severe drought which shed most of its leaves. The branches are wide and spreading. In this present investigation, we have prepared mouthwash using Stevia Neem-based silver nanoparticles. Materials And Methods: rebaudiana powder form was taken. 1g Neem extract mixed with 100ml distilled water then it boiled, cooled filt...

Azadirachta indica, commonly known as neem, has gained worldwide prominence because of its medical properties, namely antitumor, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, antifungal, and antibacterial activities. Despite these promising results, gaps remain in our understanding of the molecular mechanism of action of neem compounds and their potential for use in clinical trials. We inves...
