“…Authors have used d -glucose as an attractant to lure the tested cockroaches. However, few works reported that some strains of German cockroaches have developed sugar aversion resistance against insecticide baits containing glucose and some other sugars . The fact that we did not notice this kind of feeding avoidance in our experiment might be due to the taste masking effects of citronella and dillapiole oils present in bait compositions.…”

This study summarizes the design for formulation engineering of waste biomass as green insecticide tablet attractants to deal with German cockroaches, Blattella germanica (L.), a serious sanitary pest affecting human health and food consumers in a hygienic and sustainable manner. With the fast development of xenotoxic resistance, the merits of botanicals including minimal costs and ecological side effects have encouraged the authors to explore the waste crude glycerol in innovative composition and combination with citronella and dillapiole essential oils, magnesium stearate (lubricant), hydroxy methyl cellulose (binder), and glucose (phagostimulant) as baits through direct compression engineering. Post-compression quality features like the optimum hardness (136.1 N), minimum friability (≤1%) with good tensile strength, dimension (40–50 mm), acceptable weight variation (≤4%), pH (7.5–7.8) and minimum moisture content (0.10–0.25%), and accelerated temperature stability were ensured as per Food and Agriculture Organization specifications. In vitro bio-efficacy experiments prescribed by World Health Organization revealed that an individual botanical tablet produced sufficient mortalities at the initial exposure (consumption) but drastically reduced with time. However, different combinations (2:2:1, 1:2:2, 3:1:1, and 0.5:2.5:2) have succeeded to achieve an almost uniform and prolonged mortality (≥75%). The novel combination was 3:1:1 with the highest knockdown (95%) and sustained activity (6 months) better than a commercial one (65%), which might be due to the amplified insecticidal synergism among karangin, pongamol, geranial, citronellal, dillapiole, mysterin, etc. We conclude that the holistic approaches used in the present study may open a new corridor of efficient utilization of green pesticidal chemistries of biowastes as bio-resources in cost-effective and eco-friendly pest protection with minimization of toxic pesticides.

“…The other mixtures showed synergism as well, although the effect was significantly weaker. Packiam and Ignacimuthu [35] came to the same conclusions when testing various combinations of neem and karanja oils against larvae of Spodoptera litura. Thus, it is clear that the strength of the synergistic effect is ratio dependent, and this is the first research paper to describe such a phenomenon in the case of CPB.…”

“…In the case of neem and karanja oils, a synergistic effect was found by Kumar et al [34] in bioassays on aphids and mites. Later, this phenomenon was confirmed by Packiam and Ignacimuthu [35] during experiments on Spodoptera litura. However, although the synergistic effect of insecticides is of great importance in practice, there is still much to be explored in this research area; for example, application doses may be reduced (economic and environmental benefits) and, moreover, multi-substance mixtures prevent the development of resistant populations of pests (anti-resistant strategy).…”

“…Generally, neem products can be recommended for many integrated pest management (IPM) programs [63]. The effect of an insecticide based on a combination of neem and karanja oils (PONNEEM # ) has already been tested against the hymenopteran parasitoid wasp Trichogramma chilonis, which was not affected from applications with up to a 0.5% concentration [35]. The recommended dose for NeemAzal T/S (Trifolio-M GmbH, Lahnau, Germany) in potatoes is 2.5 L for 300-700 L of water/ha (0.8-0.35% concentration).…”

Neem and karanja oil are the most promising botanical insecticides in crop protection nowadays. Given that information about the insecticidal abilities of these oils is lacking, the aim was to explore the effects of neem and karanja oil binary mixtures. The insecticidal activity of NeemAzal T/S (Trifolio-M GmbH, Lahnau, Germany) (neem oil), Rock Effect (Agro CS a.s., Česká Skalice, Czech Republic) (karanja oil), and their binary mixes (at 1:1, 1:2, and 2:1 volume ratios) against the larvae of the Colorado potato beetle (CPB; Leptinotarsa decemlineata) was studied. In our bioassays, a synergistic effect of the mixtures, which was dose-dependent, was observed for the first time against this pest. The most effective blend was the 1:1 ratio. Its efficacy was more or less the same as, or even greater than, the neem oil alone. The LC50 of neem oil two days after application was (0.075 g·L−1) and the LC50 of the mixture was (0.065 g·L−1). The LC50 of karanja oil was (0.582 g·L−1), which was much higher than the LC50 of neem oil. The LC90 of neem oil five days after application was (0.105 g·L−1) and the LC90 of the mixture was (0.037 g·L−1). The LC90 of karanja oil was (1.032 g·L−1). The results demonstrate that it is possible to lower the doses of both oils and get improved efficacy against CPB larvae; nevertheless, further verification of the results in field conditions is necessary.

“…3,8 PONNEEM is a strong antiffedant, larvicidal, ovicidal and growth inhibitor against polyphagous pest without affecting nontarget organism such as parasitoids. 36,37 Nicotine Nicotine is the main bioactive component of the tobacco plants Nicotiana tabacum L., N. glauca Graham and, particularly, the species N. rustica L. It is also present in a number of other plants belonging to the families of Lycopodiaceae, Crassulaceae, Leguminosae, Chenopodiaceae and Compositae. The average nicotine content of the leaves of N. tabacum and N. rustica is 2-6% dry weight.…”
