Insecticidal and antifungal chemicals produced by plants: a review (2012, background): “Among these pesticides, we can quote perchlordecone, sulfluramid, heptachlor, malathion, chlorpyrifos, sulfluramid and fipronil (Paoletti and Pimentel 2000; Camargo et al. 2006; Forti et al. 2007).”
Mechanisms of Plasma-Seed Treatments as a Potential Seed Processing Technology (2021, methodology): “For this reason, alternatives have been considered such as biocontrol using fungi or bacteria, biopesticides derived from natural compounds such as grapefruit seed extract [10], physical methods such as ultrasound [11, 12] as well as genetic engineering [13].”
Habitat manipulation to mitigate the impacts of invasive arthropod pests (2010, background): “dominant form of control, contributing to additional costs in the form of degraded environmental and human health (Mack et al. 2000; Paoletti and Pimentel 2000).”
Antagonistic features displayed by Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR): A Review (2017, background): “ANTAGONISTIC BACTERIA Chemical pesticides have been practiced since many decades in agriculture to successfully control the pest and thus increasing the crop production [19].”
