Toxicity of aqueous extracts of Ilex paraguariensis A.St.‐Hil. about Euphorbia heterophylla L.
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Aqueous extracts of Ilex paraguariensis A.St.‐Hil. strongly inhibit Euphorbia heterophylla L. germination and early seedling growth, but show mild phytotoxicity on mature plants, paradoxically promoting biomass via antioxidants. Abstract BACKGROUND The escalating challenge of herbicide‐resistant weeds, exemplified by Euphorbia heterophylla L.

Entomopathogenic Nematodes against Insect Pests of Rice [PDF]
International Journal of Environment, Agriculture and Biotechnology, 2020 Rice is one of the important staple crop in the world. Rice pests cause yield reduction as well as value of the crop. A number of insect pests that attack rice plants account for yield losses. In the rice agro ecosystems, many types of entomopathogens such as nematodes, fungi, bacteria, and viruses can reduce pest population.
