A variety of small molecules with diameters around 1 nm possess a range of functions, such as antibiotic, antimicrobic, anticoagulant, pesticidal and chemotherapy effects, making these molecules especially useful in various applications ranging from medical treatment to environmental microbiological control. However, the long-term steady delivery (release or permeation) of these small molecules...

Background: We have come across the plant secondary metabolites having pesticidal properties being used in the form of pesticides. In this study, we used one of newly available and plant metabolite used as pesticide in wide agricultural fields – Karanjin, obtained from seeds of plant Pongamia pinnata. Methods: The study was conducted during the month of March 2016 at the Department of Zo...

Supporting organic farming aims to find alternative solutions synthetic pesticides and antibiotics, using local plants, protect crops. Moreover, in the One Health approach (OHA), a pesticidal plant should not be harmful humans, meaning it cannot toxic if crop is consumed or have limited conscious use used for medical care. Knowledge on presented scientific literature was compiled knowledge base...

Botanical pesticides have been used for the control of agricultural pests since antiquity, especially in biodiversity-rich countries. However, so far very limited products based on botanicals are commercially available due to lack practical evidence, availability raw materials at affordable prices, chemical standardization, molecular mechanism action, and strict legislation. The recent reports ...

Due to the numerous side effects of synthetic pesticides, including environmental pollution, threats human health, harmful on non-target organisms and pest resistance, use alternative healthy, available efficient agents in management strategies is necessary. In this paper, susceptibility cosmopolitan, polyphagous, stored-product Tribolium castaneum (red flour beetle) fumigation essential oils t...
