The house fly, Musca domestica, is a very significant pest due to transmitting of various human and animal pathogenic diseases. In a response to environmental threats of chemical insecticides, toxic and biochemical effects of a relatively new plant extracts of willow (Salix aegyptiaca L.) and chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus L.) comparing with NeemAzal T/S were studied on 3 larval instar of M. d...

In the European Union, the use of the insecticide NeemAzal T/S (standardised variant 1% of the active ingredient azadirachtin) is authorised in organic agriculture. The objective of this study was to determine the toxic effects of NeemAzal T/S at concentrations of 3, 10, 30, and 60 mg/l on the morphometric and condition characteristics, mortality, hatching, and histopathology of early-life stag...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Vector control, using agents of chemical origin, continues to be practiced in the control of vector borne diseases. However, due to some drawbacks including lack of selectivity, environmental contamination, and emergence and spread of vector resistance, development of natural products for vector control has been a priority in this area. In the present study we evaluated t...

Abstract Many studies in the last decades addressed antifeedant and repellent effects of neem ( Azadirachta indica )-based pesticides on arthropod herbivores with azadirachtin as leading active ingredient. However, results for aphids regarding repellence feeding were often contradictory mainly based laboratory self-made extracts high concentrations. Moreover, no data are available presence phlo...

The increasing scarcity of active substances approved for use in plant protection is reflected the growing effort to find suitable alternatives. Products based on oils could provide a promising environmentally friendly solution. In previous research laboratory conditions, synergistic effect neem and karanja Leptinotarsa decemlineata (CPB) larvae was observed. aim this current study verify wheth...

Natural insecticides often do not provide a strong knock-down effect and have lower efficacy than synthetic pesticides. For an effective application of natural insecticides, it is essential to know the product’s mode action in detail. The commercial neem [Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Meliaceae)] product NeemAzal-T/S its influence on stage-specific mortality, development, reproduction rose aphids...

Türkiye için yabancı istilacı bir tür olan Cydalima perspectalis, Şimşir bitkisinin en önemli zararlılarından biridir. C. perspectalis ile mücadele olanaklarını araştırma amacıyla yapılan bu çalışmada Brevibacillus brevis, Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kenyae, kurstakii, Bentar® ve subtilis olmak üzere beş farklı bakteri örneği pozitif kontrol olarak organik insektisit Neemazal® kullanılmıştır....

the entomopathogenic fungus, beauveria bassiana (bals.) vuill., is one of the facultative insect pathogens with a significant host range and host specificity. conidial survival may be affected by either environmental factors or by bio-pesticides and chemical products used to protect crop plants. in this research, compatibility of the above mentioned fungus was studied with some traditional inse...
