The aim of this study was to evaluate the insecticidal activity of the bioproducts proagrim, essential oil from fennel and orange oil, on the mortality of Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (Diptera: Tephritidae). The study was divided into three parts: the first assay studied the insecticidal activity of the products on infested fruit; secondly, a bioassay was performed by ingestion of the bioproducts in an artificial diet, and the third assay assessed the activity of the products following topical application on insects. Insecticidal activity was evaluated by application of the products at concentrations of 0.0 (control),
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
