Prospects for habitat management to suppress vegetable pests in Australia
Austral Entomology, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 3-28, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Habitat management is an ecologically based approach to suppress pest densities, utilising properties of non‐crop vegetation to improve the impact of natural enemies or to directly affect pest behaviour. Research in this approach has escalated dramatically this century, extending to uptake in some crops, but adoption in Australia has been ...

Neem: A Novel Biocide for Pest and Disease Control of Plants
Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Plant extracts have recently captivated scientists’ attention as a potential source of biocide for plant protection. This is due to the health and environmental risks associated with the widespread use of synthetic chemicals with adverse effects on humans, nontarget organisms, and the agroecosystem.
