Corn is one of the world’s most economically important cereal crops and can be attacked by Sitophilus zeamais. The control S. zeamais mostly based on synthetic insecticides; however, populations this insect have developed resistance to various chemical compounds. New rational insecticides that prevent development resistant need continuously evaluated. This research aimed assess effects mediated azadirachtin in terms mortality, survival, food preference, repellency. Azadirachtin toxic at...
Abstract Over the last few decades, agrochemicals have been partially associated with a global reduction in bees. Toxicological assessment is crucial for understanding overall agrochemical risks to stingless Therefore, lethal and sublethal effects of commonly used crops (copper sulfate, glyphosate, spinosad) on behavior gut microbiota bee, Partamona helleri , were assessed using chronic exposure during larval stage. The recommended field doses CuSO 4 (200 Active Ingredient, a.i., µg)...
