Alternatives and replacements for synthetic chemical-based plant protectants are required. In this study biopolymeric microspheres containing arthropod-derived apitoxin explored as a possible novel environmentally friendly formulation protection. Here we document the optimization process microencapsulation of into stable formulation, ready use in agricultural applications. Efficacy trials were ...

The increasing scarcity of active substances approved for use in plant protection is reflected the growing effort to find suitable alternatives. Products based on oils could provide a promising environmentally friendly solution. In previous research laboratory conditions, synergistic effect neem and karanja Leptinotarsa decemlineata (CPB) larvae was observed. aim this current study verify wheth...

colorado potato beetle, leptinotarsa decemlineata (say), is one of the most important pests of potato in iran and worlds. for controlling this pest chemical pesticides have used more that have happened pollution of environment and resistance varieties. in this way, using plant materials is one of promising method for controlling this pest. in this study, essential oils of six plant species incl...

Colorado potato beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata is a notorious pest of potato. Co-evolution with Solanaceae plants containing high levels of toxins (glycoalkaloids) helped this insect to develop an efficient detoxification system and resist almost every chemical insecticide introduced for its control. Even though the cross-resistance between plant allelochemicals and insecticides is wel...
