Article Synopsis
- Neem and mata-raton leaf extracts were tested as insect repellents in organic tomato cultivation, comparing their effectiveness to untreated plants and a chemical treatment (lambda-cyhalothrin).
- The best tomato plant growth was observed with Gliricidia (mata-raton) treatment, while differences were minor in the other treatments.
- Gliricidia leaf extract not only enhanced tomato growth and altered leaf and fruit characteristics, but its effects were attributed to growth regulation rather than insect repellent properties.
