Increased use of chemical pesticide results in the excess inflow of toxic chemicals, mainly into the aquatic ecosystem (Baskaran et al., 1989; Kalavathy et al., 2001). The aquatic flora and fauna are affected by the toxic substances which eventually enter in to their systems or bring about external damages (Pant and Singh, 1983; Hodson, 1988; Johal and Dua, 1995). Several species of fish are su...

In the context of major crop losses, pesticides will continue to play a key role in pest management practice absence practical and efficient alternatives; however, increasing awareness regarding environmental human health impacts conventional as well development resistance cross-resistance reduced their availability promoted search for alternative control strategies reduced-risk pesticides. Amo...

Botanical pesticides have gradually become accepted for use in the control of agricultural pests. In order to clarify active compounds ginger (Zingiber officinale) shoot extract (GSE) and its inhibitory effect on growth sorghum aphids (Melanaphis sorghi). this study, LC-MS/MS was used determine major GSE, leaf disc method explore insecticidal response mechanism aphids. The results showed that p...

Brassica oilseed crops are grown all over the world, but aphids of cabbage, Brevicoryne brassicae L. and Turnip aphid Lipaphis erysimi Kalt, cause mischief to everywhere in world. A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Farm Area Airport Campus Ghazi University Dera Khan during mid-November 2019 test eco-friendly management methods for mustard aphids. The laid out a randomized complete...

The decreased soil carrying capacity is due to reduced organic matter content, caused by disproportionally larger use of inorganic fertilizers and synthetic chemical pesticides in farming activities than environmentally friendly weeds, disease, insect pests control materials. Reducing the could be done using production facilities agriculture form non-chemical on a scale, which base materials ar...

Insect pests are soft-bodied and tiny creatures with plant sap sucking habits that devastate various agricultural crops, fruit trees, ornamental plants several vegetables. To control these insect four IPM techniques were used in tomato field an aim to minimize the use of synthetic pesticides. Five colours sticky traps (yellow, green, blue, black red), different light trap (red, yellow, green wh...

Agricultural productivity can be increased sustainably in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) by reducing crop losses due to insect pest damage. As an alternative environmentally-damaging chemical pesticides, biological control interventions and botanical pesticides show potential achieve both high yields profits. However, synthesized information of their performance understanding adoption among smallhold...
