Insecticidal Activity of Trichilia hirta L. (Sapindales: Meliaceae) Extracts Against Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Larvae and the Identification of Bioactive Compounds

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 3, March 2026.
Fruits 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 ...

Study on the Correlation of Chemical Structure and Ovicidal Activities of 2-Bromoethylthiobenzenes

Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1967
2-Bromoethylthiobenzenes were toxic to the eggs of Tetranychus telarius (L.) depending on the permeability and the reactivity of the compounds. It was suggested by the means of ρ-σ-π analysis that the reactivity depends on the electron-donating power of the sulfur atom to the site of action or the carbon atom of carbon-bromine linkage.

Biopesticidal potential of green chemicals against Callosobruchus analis (f.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae)

Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2018
Pulses have 20-27% proteins which is 2- 3 times higher than traditional cereals. These constitute the main source of proteins for developing countries, like India where per capita consumption of the animal protein is low, thus they are rightly considered

Plants and Insect Eggs: First Report of a Katydid Using a Fern as Host for Oviposition

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Ferns are the second most diverse lineage of vascular plants worldwide and are particularly abundant in tropical forests. However, the ecological significance of such remarkable diversity has been often underestimated. In this article, we report for the first time the observation of ferns, specifically Polytaenium cajenense (Desv.) Benedict ...

Ovicidal activity of Paecilomyces lilacinus on Moniezia sp. eggs

Journal of Helminthology, 2008
AbstractThe ovicidal activity of Paecilomyces lilacinus was evaluated on Moniezia sp. eggs. Eggs of Moniezia sp. were incubated on plates with 2% agar-water inoculated with grown fungal isolates and a control treatment without fungus. After 5, 10 and 15 days post-inoculation, the eggs were removed and classified according to the following parameters ...
