94) as main parts. The bioactive phytochemicals from F. sycomorus leaves were reported to be more toxic as the fumigant toxicity tests than the contact phase to the tested insects. The concentrations at 0.1, 0.01 and 0.001% were found to be repellent to adult females of Tetranychus utricae, followed by Aphis craccivora and Sitophilus oryzae, respectively. Here we demonstrate that bioactive phytochemicals from F. sycomorus leaves have a wide range of insecticidal and acaricidal and could become an alternative to synthetic pesticides for controlling certain important insects and mites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
