Ethnobotanical Significance and Antimicrobial Activity of Blumea lacera (Roxb.) DC
The ethnobotanical significance and antimicrobial potential of various extracts of Blumea lacera was investigated. The plant was found to be used in many folk preparations. Antimicrobial potential of the plant was evaluated against three bacterial and one fungal species. Two different solvents water and methanol were used for extraction purposes. Among the different extracts investigated, water...
متن کاملMethodology for Assessing Rice Varieties for Resistance to the Lesser Grain Borer, Rhyzopertha dominica
Several physical and chemical attributes of rice were evaluated to determine which character would be best to use to assess multiple rice varieties for resistance to the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.). Laboratory tests were conducted on single varieties of long-, short-, and medium grain-rice to develop procedures and methodologies that could be used for large-scale screening stu...
متن کاملMosquito repellent action of Blumea lacera (Asteraceae) against Anopheles stephensi and Culex quinquefasciatus
Petroleum ether extract of Blumea lacera was screened under laboratory conditions for repellent activity against mosquito vector Anopheles stephensi Liston and Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae). The repellent activity of Blumea lacera extract was tested against mosquitoes in comparison with the DEET, which was used as a positive control. Results obtained from the laboratory experi...
متن کاملTypical Monoterpenes as Insecticides and Repellents against Stored Grain Pests.
Five monoterpenes naturally occurring in essential oils were tested for their insecticidal and repellent activities against the bruchid beetle Callosobruchus maculatus and the maize weevil Sitophilus zeamais. The monoterpenes were highly efficient as inducers of mortality or repellency against both insect species. They were more efficient in their fumigant activity against C. maculatus than aga...
متن کاملPhosphine Mortality Estimation for Simulation of Controlling Pest of Stored Grain: Lesser Grain Borer (Rhyzopertha dominica)
There is a world-wide need for the development of sustainable management strategies to control pest infestation and the development of phosphine (PH3) resistance in lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica). Computer simulation models can provide a relatively fast, safe and inexpensive way to weigh the merits of various management options. However, the usefulness of simulation models relies on ...
