“…Limonoids and especially azadirachtin have been found to have subtle growth-disrupting effects on diverse insect pests (Abdelgaleil & Nakatani, 2003;Bilker et al, 2002;Ndung'u et al, 2004;Gonçalves-Gervásio & Vendramim) but non-toxic to mammal cells (Arona et al, 2004). However, the currently most used limonoid-based insecticide, azadirachtin, can compromise the fertility of insect natural enemies of pests, such as those attacking T. absoluta (Biondi, Desneux, Siscaro, & Zappalà, 2012;Biondi et al, 2013), and affect the behaviour of pollinators (Barbosa, De Meyer, Guedes, & Smagghe, 2014;Bernardes, Tomé, Barbosa, Guedes, & Lima, 2017). Therefore, before proposing the use of these new chemicals in Integrated pest Management Programs, comprehensive analyses of the potential non-target effects on beneficial organisms should be carried out.…”
