Botanical insecticides in the control of ants

DESAFIOS - Revista Interdisciplinar da Universidade Federal do Tocantins, 2021
As formigas cortadeiras são insetos sociais que apresentam castas reprodutoras e não reprodutoras, vivendo em colônias permanentes. Elas causam grandes prejuízos para plantações desde hortas caseiras a plantios de reflorestamento. Para seu controle é necessário a utilização indiscriminada do controle químico nas o que acaba representando um grande ...

Equipped for success: genomes and metabolomes of the European Amanita muscaria are conserved in its novel South African range

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plants and soils have been moved around the world for centuries, but invasive mushrooms receive scant attention. The Amanita muscaria species complex was introduced to South Africa in the context of forestry, but its origins, ecology and recent evolution are unstudied. We sequenced the genomes of 24 Northern and Southern Hemisphere A. muscaria,

Action of botanical insecticides on kale leafworm

, 2016
Abstract: Ascia monuste orseis (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) is a key pest of Brassicaceae, and its control still lacks information about alternative management tools. Thus, this study assessed, firstly in laboratory conditions, the ovicidal and larvicidal activities of aqueous extracts prepared from seven plant species and a limonoid-based biopesticide ...

Genetic and Phenotypic Diversity of European Triticale: GWAS of Yellow Rust Resistance and Agronomic Traits

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack) is an interspecific hybrid of wheat and rye. It is a promising grain and forage crop that thrives in poorer soils and low‐input farming systems. It can serve as a viable alternative to traditional small grains such as wheat and barley, bringing diversity to crop rotations and enhancing biodiversity in ...

Botanical Insecticides in Plant Protection

ACS - Agriculturae conspectus scientificus, 2013
Botanical insecticides are natural compounds with insecticidal properties and their use in crop protection is as old as agricultural practice. Although they have been in use for over one hundred years, the advent of synthetic insecticides has unfortunately displaced their use today.

Ecological costs of botanical nano-insecticides

Current Opinion in Environmental Science & Health
Botanical nano-insecticides are a trend in pest control. The natural origin of the active substances, alongside with the methodological approach granted by nanotechnologies are a promising combination of innovation and eco-sustainability, hot topics in the context of ecological transition in agriculture.

Glyphosate residues in soil alter herbivore‐induced plant volatiles and affect predatory insect behaviour

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Herbicide residues in soil disrupt plant–insect signalling, reducing the effectiveness of biological pest control. Abstract Plants under herbivore attack emit distinct blends of herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) which serve as signalling cues for predatory insects.
