Using Azadirachtin to Transform Spodoptera frugiperda from Pest to Natural Enemy
Toxins, 2021 Spodoptera frugiperda and Rhopalosiphum maidis, as main pests, seriously harm the safety of maize. At present, chemical pesticides are mainly used to control these pests. However, due to residue and resistance problems, more green, environmentally benign,

Insecticidal Activity of Trichilia hirta L. (Sapindales: Meliaceae) Extracts Against Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Larvae and the Identification of Bioactive Compounds. [PDF]
Chem BiodiversFruits of Trichilia hirta were extracted and fractionated according to solvent polarity. The resulting partitions were screened for insecticidal activity by evaluating larval mortality and weight after 7 and 14 days. LC‐MS analysis of the most active fraction enabled the annotation of secondary metabolites potentially associated with the observed ...

Lippia umbellata Cav.: Chemical Composition, Insecticidal, and Antimicrobial Activities. [PDF]
Chem BiodiversHexane extracts of Lippia umbellata leaves and flowers contain lupenone, α‐amyrin, and hentriacontane. They exhibit insecticidal activity against Drosophila melanogaster and inhibit AChE in vitro and in silico. Furthermore, the extracts can inhibit the growth of medically important bacteria and yeasts, including multidrug‐resistant strains.
