Aphicidal Potential and Metabolomic Profiling of Floriculture Leaf Waste Extracts Against Aphis craccivora Koch Under Laboratory Conditions

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 10, October 2026.
We utilized the leaf wastes of floriculture crops, namely Tagetes patula, Chrysanthemum grandiflorum, and Alstroemeria hybrida to determine their insecticidal potential against nymphs and adults of Aphis craccivora. Targeted and nontargeted metabolomics of extracts showed the presence of phenols and flavonoids, which corroborates the insecticidal ...
