Larvicidal and ovicidal activities of Artocarpus blancoi extracts against Aedes aegypti [PDF]

Pharmaceutical Biology, 2019
Dengue control may be done by targeting its vector. In this study, we used Artocarpus blancoi (Elm.) Merr. (Moraceae) leaves, an endemic hematophagous insect repellent as a larvicide and ovicide.We investigated the larvicidal and ovicidal activities of its soluble crude ethanol extract and the hexane, aqueous, and ethyl acetate fractions against Aedes ...

Semiochemical applications for managing the grey field slug (Deroceras reticulatum Müller), a major pest of arable crops

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7288-7301, November 2025.
Trends in semiochemical research highlight promising attractants and repellents for ‘push–pull’ pest control strategies of the grey field slug. Extracts from plants, predators, entomopathogenic fungi, and essential oils demonstrate potential in modifying grey field slug behaviour, inducing avoidance, antifeeding responses, or mortality, offering ...
