Article Synopsis
- Beetle infestations, specifically by Carpophilus truncatus and Oryzaephilus mercator, negatively impact walnut yield and quality by exposing them to harmful microbes like Fusarium species.
- This research focuses on creating eco-friendly copper oxide nanoparticles using plant extracts from Lippia integrifolia (CuO-I) and Pimpinella anisum (CuO-A), which were found to be effective against pests and harmful fungi.
- Characterization techniques revealed that these nanoparticles are small (2-10 nm) and exhibit strong antifungal and insecticidal properties, suggesting they could be viable alternatives for pest control in walnut storage.
causes destructive ear rot diseases in maize and wheat. New antifungals are essential to combat this pathogen, and aerial parts of species (Acanthaceae) are a potential source. We investigated the antifungal activity of extracts from stems and leaves of five species native to Northwest Argentina.

The current management approaches for these pests involve the use of unsafe phosphorus pesticides whose overuse have led to farmworker poisoning, pest resistance issues, and environmental contamination.

However, in many regions of the world it is still poorly modelled and understood.
