Plants have been recognized as a good source of insecticidal agents, since they are able to produce their own defensives insect attack. Moreover, there is growing concern worldwide develop pesticides with low impact environment and non-target organisms. Hexane-soluble fraction from ethanolic crude extract fruits Manilkara subsericea its triterpenes were considered active against cotton pest (Dysdercus peruvianus). Several natural products activity poor water solubility, including...
The Dysdercus peruvianus Guérin-Méneville is commonly known as the cotton stainer bug. In this study, it was evaluated insecticide activity and mode of action essential oil from leaves Ocotea elegans Mez its nanoemulsion against D. peruvianus. Leaves O. were extracted by hydrodistillation. obtained analyzed gas chromatography coupled with electron impact mass spectrometry flame ionization detector. toxicity measured lethal dose 50 (LD50) survival rate insects recorded. Lastly, an assay...
