“…The number of dead juveniles was counted using a stereo-binocular microscope throughout time periods of 24, 48, 72, and 96 h. Totally motionless (dead larvae) nematodes were picked out of the Petri dish and placed in distilled water. Percent mortality was calculated using Abbott’s formula [ 43 ].

Hedychium coccineum Buch. Ham. ex Sm. is a perennial rhizomatous herb belonging to the family Zingiberaceae. The aim of the present study was to compare the chemical composition and biological activities of H. coccineum rhizome essential oil (HCCRO) and H. coccineum aerial part essential oil (HCCAO). The plant material was subjected to hydro-distillation using Clevenger’s apparatus in order to obtain volatile oil and analyzed for its chemical constituents using GC-MS. The comparative study of the rhizome and aerial part essential oils of H. coccineum displayed that (E)-nerolidol (15.9%), bornyl acetate (13.95%), davanone B (10.9%), spathulenol (8.9%), and 1, 8-cineol (8.5%) contributed majorly to the HCCRO, while 7-hydroxyfarnesen (15.5%), α-farnesene (11.1%), α-pinene (10.9%), spathulenol (7.7%), and β-pinene (6.8%) were present as major constituents in the HCCAO. Both the essential oils were studied for their biological activities, such as nematicidal, insecticidal, herbicidal, antifungal, and antibacterial activities. The essential oils exhibited significant nematicidal activity against Meloidogyne incognita, insecticidal activity against Spodoptera litura, and moderate herbicidal activity against R. raphanistrum sub sp. sativus, and good antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum and Curvularialunata. Essential oils were also tested for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella enterica serotype Typhi. Both oils showed good to moderate activity against the tested pathogens. The significant nematicidal, insecticidal, herbicidal, antifungal, and antibacterial activities of both the essential oils might be helpful for the development of environmentally friendly pesticides that could be an alternative to synthetic pesticides in the future.

“…This activity took place in ideal laboratory conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a relative humidity of 75–80%. The mortality (%) was calculated after 24, 48, and 72 h of the treatment using Abbott’s formula [ 43 ]. LC 50 values were analyzed using Probit analysis [ 46 ].…”

“…LC 90 values were 77.70, 120.04, 89.50 and 97.55 mg/L against Biomphalariapfeifferi for seed, endocarp, mesocarp and whole fruit extracts, respectively, and 102.30, 138.21, 115.42 and 127.69 mg/L against Lymnaea natalensis. Furthermore, the molluscicidal activity of seed oil on Monacha cartusiana, a Hygromiid land snail, has been demonstrated [77]. Bioactive compounds were identified as saponins, such as diosgenin, yamogenin and 3,5-spirostadiene.…”

Many underutilized tree species are good sources of food, fodder and possible therapeutic agents. Balanites aegyptiaca (L.) Delile belongs to the Zygophyllaceae family and is popularly known as “desert date”, reflecting its edible fruits. This tree grows naturally in Africa, the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent. Local inhabitants use fruits, leaves, roots, stem and root bark of the species for the treatment of various ailments. Several research studies demonstrate that extracts and phytochemicals isolated from desert date display antioxidant, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective and molluscicidal activities. Mesocarp of fruits, seeds, leaves, stem and root bark are rich sources of saponins. These tissues are also rich in phenolic acids, flavonoids, coumarins, alkaloids and polysterols. Some constituents show antioxidant, anticancer and antidiabetic properties. The objective of this review is to summarize studies on diverse bioactive compounds and the beneficial properties of B. aegyptiaca.

“…The content of saponin compounds is reported to have a molluscicidal effect (Abdul Aziz et al, 2021;Dawidar et al, 2012;El Aziz et al, 2019;Murthy et al, 2020). The toxicity of this substance is high enough for gold snails to be able to kill them (Chengjun et al, 2021).…”

This study was an experimental study to determine the effect of the toxicity of Jatropha curcas L. leaf filtrate on the mortality of the Pomacea canaliculata (golden snail). Pomacea canaliculata as many as 240 tails aged 7 days after hatching is the object of research. A completely randomized design of 6 (treatment) and 4 (replication) was used in this study. Data was collected by observing the golden snail every hour for 24 hours. ANAVA and BNT analysis to calculate research data. Calculation of 50% mortality of research objects using LC50. The ANAVA results are Fcount 434.160 > Ftable 2.64. The findings indicated that the filtrate from Jatropha curcas leaves had toxicity on golden snail mortality. The concentration of jatropha leaf filtrate that can kill the golden snail is 7% based on calculations with LC50. This concentration was able to kill half of the golden snails tested.
