This study evaluates the efficacy of neem oil, boric acid, and gallotannin acid against three insect pest species, finding species-specific effects and suggesting potential for sustainable pest management.

The paper investigates betulin's bioactivity and mechanism against aphids, showing it inhibits MpGABR and causes aphid death.

This study evaluates the insecticidal effects of methanolic and hexane extracts from Piper guineense seeds against Prostephanus truncatus in stored cassava chips, showing significant reduction in damage.

The paper screens commonly used pesticides for effectiveness against desert locusts and recommends three with high binding affinity and safety, suggesting they could be potent for pest control.

This study evaluates the larvicidal effects of a plant-based product on Aedes aegypti larvae, finding that 12.5% and 25% concentrations cause structural damage and prevent development.

This study evaluates the residual effects of plant extracts and Bti on Aedes aegypti larvae mortality over time, finding that I. theezans extract has a longer-lasting effect than I. paraguariensis.
