- Botanical Insecticides in the Twenty-First Century-Fulfilling Their Promise? (2020, background): “In previous reviews, I highlighted two issues that are especially relevant to the utilization of botanical insecticides: (a) The vast majority of pesticide poisonings, and fatalities, worldwide occur in less-developed countries and are attributed to the use of acutely toxic synthetic insecticides (3”
- Cost:benefit analysis of botanical insecticide use in cabbage: Implications for smallholder farmers in developing countries (2014, background): “…sp. has LD50 (lethal dose) of 50 mg/kg in rats and is acutely toxic so extracts of this plant are not completely safe to users and the environment (Isman, 2008; Rosell et al., 2008) though compounds that are hazardous in pure form are safer to use in a crude extract state (Isman, 2008) where…”
- A review on prospects of essential oils as biopesticide in insect-pest management (2009, background): “Such a direct demonstration of the utility and value of botanical preparations increased the farmers confidence in indigenous technology (Isman, 2008).”
- Efficacy of homemade botanical insecticides based on traditional knowledge. A review (2019, methodology): “However, some authors argue that active ingredient concentrations in plants like tephrosia and tobacco are low, and that the use of these botanicals for pest control by subsistence farmers is unlikely to cause intoxications (Belmain et al. 2012; Isman 2008).”
- Botanicals as Grain Protectants (2012, neutral): “Syzygium aromaticum Myrtaceae O [68]”
- A review on biological interactions and management of the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) (2021, background): “They are more eco- friendly than synthetic pesticides (Jose & Sujatha, 2017; Ramya & Jayakumararaj, 2009), as they are generally less toxic, degrade more readily in the environment and do not bioaccumulate up the food chain (Isman, 2008).”
- Pesticidal plants in Africa: A global vision of new biological control products from local uses (2017, background): “The use of crude plant based materials that are home harvested and prepared using only basic technology is where plants may have most to offer small holders, and in Africa this approach is currently and has been historically widespread (Isman, 2008; Belmain and Stevenson, 2001).”
