Chemical composition and insecticidal effect of methanol extract of Capparis spinosa L. fruits on Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val, 1863 and Sitophilus oryzae (L., 1763) adults
Abstract:<p class="042abstractstekst"><em>Tribolium confusum</em> and <em>Sitophilus oryzae</em> are stored product pests found worldwide. Environmental damages, human health issues and the emergence of resistance are driving scientists to seek alternatives to synthetic insecticides for its control. Under this scenario, plant secondary metabolites are being increasingly studied as bioinsecticides because they are renewable, natural, biodegradable, non-persistent in the environment and safe… Show more
