Botanical insecticide as simple extractives for pest control (2017, background): “It has been reported that plant parts, oil, extracts, and powder mixed with grain reduced insect oviposition, egg hatchability, postembryonic, and progeny development (Asawalam & Adesiyan, 2001; Shaalan et al., 2005).”
Plant compounds insecticide activity against Coleoptera pests of stored products (2007, background): “However, many other plant species, especially from tropical regions, have the potential to be used as botanical insecticide or as font of bioactive compounds (Saxena et al., 1992; Quignard et al., 2003; Shaalan et al., 2005).”
Food consumption, utilization, and detoxification enzyme activity of the rice leaffolder larvae after treatment with Dysoxylum triterpenes (2007, background): “Much eVort has, therefore, been focused on plant-derived materials for potentially useful products as commercial insect-control agents [4,5].”
Comparing impacts of plant extracts and pure allelochemicals and implications for pest control. (2009, background): “There is substantial work available where plant extracts have been evaluated against mosquitoes [51, 54, 55].”
