Article Synopsis
- This study explored the insecticidal properties of essential oils (EOs) and extracts from two plant species, focusing on their effects against specific insect pests.
- The EOs were extracted using hydro-distillation, and their chemical compositions were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), revealing myristicin as the primary component with notable insect repelling and toxic effects.
- The research identified four compounds with strong antifeedant activity from the ethanol extract, suggesting that these natural plant resources could be beneficial in developing integrated pest management strategies.
