Insecticidal Properties of Capsaicinoids and Glucosinolates Extracted from and .

Food security and biodiversity conservation are threatened by the emergence and spread of pest and pathogens, and thus there is a current need to develop pest management strategies that are sustainable and friendly to the environment and human health. Here, we performed laboratory and field bioassays to evaluate the insecticidal effects of several concentrations of capsaicinoids and glucosinolates (separately and mixed) on an aphid pest (). The capsaicinoids were extracted from the fruits of and glucosinolates from the tubers of native Andean crop .
