Insecticidal Activity of Fatty Acids From the Fruit Extract of Momordica cymbalaria Fenzl Ex Naudin, Has Insecticidal Activities on Mosquito Larvae.

The fruit and other parts of Momordica cymbalaria are known to have medicinal properties. The study investigates the chemical composition and functional groups of M. cymbalaria fruits to assess the insecticidal potential of its bioactive metabolites.

Antifeedant and larvicidal activity of bioactive compounds isolated from entomopathogenic fungi Penicillium sp. for the control of agricultural and medically important insect pest (Spodoptera litura and Culex quinquefasciatus).

The use of chemical insecticides in agriculture has posed several challenges to environment and ecosystem health. Pesticides of biological origin are considered to be suitable for sustainable environment. In the present study bioactive compounds from Penicillium sp.

Mycosynthesis of bimetallic zinc oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles for control of Spodoptera frugiperda.

Spodoptera frugiperda is an important pest of several crops. Use of chemical insecticides in insect control has not been successful. In the present study, bio-nano formulation of bimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized using fungal metabolites from Metarhizium anisopliae and tested for insecticidal activity.

Effect of food plants on (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) larvae immune and antioxidant properties in response to infection.

The larvae of (Fabricius) were reared on five host plants, , , , , and . The larvae were immunized with to observe the immune response. The results of total and differential hemocyte count were increased in , , and fed larval hemolymph.
