The barks and leaves extracts of Canarium patentinervium Miq. (Burseraceae Kunth.) were investigated for cyclooxygenase (COX) and 5-lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibition via in vitro models. The corresponding antioxidative power of the plant extract was also tested via nonenzyme and enzyme in vitro assays. The ethanolic extract of leaves inhibited the enzymatic activity of 5-LOX, COX-1, and COX-2 with ...

Male and female noctuid moths were collected from plastic bucket traps that were baited with different synthetic floral chemicals and placed in peanut fields. Traps baited with phenylacetaldehyde, benzyl acetate, and a blend of phenylacetaldehyde, benzyl acetate, and benzaldehyde collected more soybean looper moths, Pseudoplusia includens (Walker), than benzaldehyde-baited or unbaited traps. Fe...

Studieswere performed in the laboratory, greenhouse and Þeld to assess the potential ofAgrotis ipsilonmulticapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (AgipMNPV) and a viral enhancing agent,M2R, for suppression of Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel). In laboratory droplet feeding bioassays, AgipMNPV was shown to be highly active against third-instarA. ipsilon.The optical brightenerM2R signiÞcantly reduced LD50 estimate...

Agrotis ipsilon (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae) known as greasy cutworm is an important destructive polyphagous pest of many crops distributed throughout the world. Larvae are with a wide and diverse host range, result which they cause extensive damage to range agricultural horticultural crops, mainly at seedling stage. Insecticide resistance has grown widespread arbitrary use pesticides, pesticide res...
