The insecticidal activities of Erica manipuliflora Salisb. Extracts in the flowering and fruiting periods and their evaluation in term of chemical profiles of active extracts

A growing number of investigations essential oils, extracts or phytochemicals have been conducted to discover effective pesticidal agents against Aedes aegypti L., a major vector yellow fever, Zika fever and dengue. The goal this study was enhance the knowledge about activity Erica manipuliflora Ae. L during both flowering fruiting periods. Eight E. in periods were investigated for their insecticidal activities larval adult . Five exhibited mortality greater than 90% at 5 μg/mosquito. volatile compounds petroleum ether acetone aerial parts found cyclopentanol, methylcyclohexane, 2-methyl-2-pentanol 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-1,2-pentanone respectively, by GC-MS. 5- O -caffeoylquinic acid, myricetin rhamnoside, quercetin rhamnoside determined as active LC-MS. This initial shows it has potentially useful protection vector-borne diseases. • is first on extracts. results evaluated statistically. contents analyzed different chromatography methods. It good potential
