“…A peak at retention time 3.56 and m / z 702.6394, having molecular formula C 45 H 83 NO 4 , was identified as a benzamide molecule, N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-3,5-bis(octadecyloxy)benzamide. These benzamide moieties obtained from endophytes are well known for their antimicrobial and anticancer properties [ 48 ]. The presence of these bioactive molecules in the methanolic extract further bolsters the pharmaceutical potential and applicability of this extract as a nano-formulation.…”

Gold nanoparticles (GNP) were bio-fabricated utilizing the methanolic extract of the endophytic isolate Aspergillus terreus. The biosynthesised gold nanoparticles (GNP023) were characterised using UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis); transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transform nfrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The bio-fabricated GNP023 displayed a sharp SPR peak at 536 nm, were spherically shaped, and had an average size between 10–16 nm. The EDX profile confirmed the presence of gold (Au), and XRD analysis confirmed the crystalline nature of GNP023. The antimicrobial activity of GNP023 was investigated against several food-borne and phytopathogens, using in vitro antibacterial and antifungal assays. The maximum zone of inhibition was observed for S. aureus and V. cholera at 400 μg /mL, whereas inhibition in radial mycelial growth was observed against Fusarium oxysporum and Rhizoctonia solani at 52.5% and 65.46%, respectively, when challenged with GNP023 (200 μg/mL). Moreover, the gold nanoparticles displayed significant antioxidant activity against the ABTS radical, with an IC50 of 38.61 µg/mL, and were non-toxic when tested against human kidney embryonic 293 (HEK293) cells. Thus, the current work supports the application of myco-synthesised gold nanoparticles as a versatile antimicrobial candidate against food-borne pathogens.

“…Hu et al, (2005) determined trolox and ethanol components showing stronger antioxidant activities in extracts of A. vera. Rodriguez et al, (2005) reported Aloe liquid fraction activity against plant pathogens (bacteria and fungi). Other researchers detailed less or more analogous findings like contemporary observations; Morse et al, (2002) suggested that as an integrated pest management program using a botanical such as tobacco plants could effectively control infestations of major pests, while, having a negligible effect on biological control agents.…”

Resistance in aphid to pesticides appears to have been the cause of failure in controlling this pest in certain cropping systems. This study is to report the insecticidal property of botanicals and their potential as organic pest control agents for field management of aphid on Canola Brassica napus L. (Brassicaceae). Aphid species Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Homoptera: Aphididae) was frequently found in large number or of major agronomical importance at the experimental place. The effectiveness of four botanical pest control agents such as, Tobacco Nicotiana tabacum L., Garlic Allium sativum L., Goosefoot Chenopodium album L., and Aloe vera L., was assessed through foliar applications on canola (B. napus) crop. The toxicity of botanicals differed significantly depending upon the treatment applied. The A. vera (Aloeaceae) and to a greater extent N. tabacum at 10% concentration were the most effective botanicals and rated parallel for effectiveness in treated crop and had the least aphid's damage and enhanced yield across all the season followed by C. album and A. sativum relative to the untreated control that had the most damaged plants by pest resulting in reduced yield. Consequently, the performances of A. vera and N. tabacum as botanical pesticides were observed the best in reducing pest and seed damage, as these did not induce any adverse effect on plant and showed that there is a prospective to use them in an integrated pest management system, being safe and economical for oilseeds production and protection.

“…The methanolic leaf extract of A. americana showed antifungal activity against Alternaria brassicae and inhibited conidial germination of the fungus (Guleria and Kumar, 2009). Similarly, aqueous extracts of bulbs of A. lechuguilla inhibited Fusarium oxysporum, a fungal pathogen of tomato (de Rodriguez et al, 2006).…”
