Compositional Analysis and Potent Insecticidal Activity of Supercritical CO Fluid Extracts of L. Leaves.

To mitigate potentially severe food shortages due to the exponential growth of the global population, it is of paramount importance to improve the yield and quality of globally harvested food crops. As pest control contributes to both these aspects, the development of safe and effective pesticides is one of the main strategies pursued in this direction in the context of agricultural chemistry. During our investigation of natural pesticides, a supercritical CO fluid extract of L.
