Atividade inseticida das plantas e aplicações: revisão

Abstract: RESUMO:A utilização de agrotóxicos tem contribuído para o aumento da produção agrícola, entretanto, o uso incorreto e indiscriminado durante várias décadas levou à acumulação de resíduos tóxicos em alimentos, contaminação da água e do solo, intoxicação de produtores rurais, seleção de pragas resistentes, entre muitos outros problemas. Ultimamente tem crescido o interesse por substâncias que apresentem menor risco à saúde humana e ao ambiente, além da demanda crescente por produtos alimentícios saudáveis e isen… Show more

“…The essential oils (EOs) of some species may present toxic compounds for insects, but are safe for humans, thus with a high potential to control agricultural pests (EBADOLLAHI, 2011). Some EOs extracted from certain plant species have the capacity to repel and/or kill through direct contact and even through the respiratory system (ISMAN, 2000;CORRÊA;SALGADO, 2011). The secondary metabolism of the plants synthesize these oils using all their organs and have a communication (e.g., attracting pollinators) and defense function (BAKKALI et al, 2008).…”

“…Usually, botanical insecticides are used as powders, extracts or oils, which are easy to obtain, and generally harmless to the applicator and consumers (ISMAN, 2000;CORRÊA;SALGADO, 2011). More than 100,000 secondary metabolites with insecticidal properties have been identified from approximately 200,000 species of plants in the world, and they particularly belong to alkaloid, terpenoid, flavonoid, and quinone groups (POTENZA et al, 2004).…”
