“…Several plant-derived extracts’ LC 50 is much higher for water bugs than mosquito larvae, which these pesticides are intended to control (Baranitharan et al, 2020 ). It is essential to emphasise that the dataset is biased because almost all experiments were performed on two predatory species, Anisops bouvieri and Diplonychus indicus , and no other water bugs were tested (Table S4 ).…”

As water pollution poses an increasing risk worldwide, it is timely to assess the achievements of the aquatic macroinvertebrate ecotoxicology to provide a sound basis for the discipline’s future and support the development of biomonitoring. Aquatic and semi-aquatic bugs (Hemiptera: Nepomorpha, Gerromorpha) are ubiquitous in almost all water types, sometimes in high densities, and play a significant role in organic material turnover and energy flow. Nevertheless, they are ignored in the water pollution biomonitoring schemes. Here, based on 300 papers, we review and evaluate the effects of chemical pesticides, microorganism-derived pesticides, insecticides of plant origin, heavy metals, eutrophication, salinisation and light pollution which are summarised for the first time. Our review encompasses the results of 100 laboratory and 39 semi-field/field experiments with 47 pesticides and 70 active ingredients. Pyrethroids were found to be more toxic than organochlorine, organophosphate and neonicotinoid insecticides to water bugs, like other macroinvertebrate groups. Additionally, in 10 out of 17 cases, the recommended field concentration of the pesticide was higher than the LC50 values, indicating potential hazards to water bugs. The recommended field concentrations of pesticides used in mosquito larvae control were found non-toxic to water bugs. As very few replicated studies are available, other findings on the effects of pesticides cannot be generalised. The microorganism-derived pesticide Bti appears to be safe when used at the recommended field concentration. Data indicates that plant-derived pesticides are safe with a high degree of certainty. We have identified three research areas where water bugs could be better involved in water biomonitoring. First, some Halobates spp. are excellent, and Gerris spp. are promising sentinels for Cd contamination. Second, Micronecta and, to a certain extent, Corixidae species composition is connected to and the indicator of eutrophication. Third, the species composition of the Corixidae is related to salinisation, and a preliminary method to quantify the relationship is already available. Our review highlights the potential of water bugs in water pollution monitoring.

“…The different leaf extracts of I. tinctoria were evaluated for detecting the availability of phytochemical in the respective solvents and their results were compared with selected all extracts but a greater number of phytochemicals groups were identified from high polarity solvent of methanol extract followed by other solvent extracts. Previously, many investigations were evidently done on several herbal parts as well as they were well effective and target specificity on different life stages of pests (18,19) . The various phyto-products tested; the topmost toxicity was recorded by the selected phytocompounds of I. tinctoria against selected pests species.…”

Objectives: To determine the phytochemical screening and major phytocompounds from Indigofera tinctoria leaf methanol extract as well as ovicidal and larvicidal toxicity towards medical and agronomic pests, Aedes aegypti, Culex quinquefasciatus, Spodoptera litura and Helicoverpa armigera. Methods: In this study, the phytochemical screening was done by prescribed method, finding of phyto-constituents were made by GC-MS analysis, ovicidal and larvicidal toxicity of selected pests were recorded after 24 hrs. post treatment at various concentrations. The mortality was assessed by using probit analysis to calculate LC 50 /LC 90 . Findings: By the phytochemical screening, the more numbers of phytochemicals were obtained from methanol extract as well as GC-MS analysis displayed sum of 10 phyto-compounds gained 100% besides two phyto-compounds were major constituents Heptasiloxane, hexadecamethyl-and 1,1-Dimethylethyl 3-Phenyl-2-Propenoate. The phytoproducts of I. tinctoria were produced maximum eggs toxicity around 100% at higher concentration. Similarly, I. tinctoria leaf methanol extract borne major phyto-compounds major constituents Heptasiloxane, hexadecamethyland 1,1-Dimethylethyl 3-Phenyl-2-Propenoate were tested 3 rd instar larvae of selected medicinal and agronomic pests with their LC 50 / LC 90 value were 10.93/18.65 µg/ml, 10.87/18.77 µg/ml, 15.29/27.17 µg/ml, 16.84/29.41µg/ml and 11.16/19.38 µg/ml, 10.43/18.51 µg/ml, 14.57/26.58 µg/ml and 15.61/28.63 µg/ml were recorded on various pests of Ae. aegypti, Cx. quinquefasciatus and S. litura and H. armigera, respectively. Novelty: The statistical analysis of the data clearly indicates that phyto-compounds of I. tinctoria induced outstanding larval https://www.indjst.org/

The extensive use of antibiotics and vaccines against microbial infections can result in long-term negative effects on humans and the environment. However, there are a number of plants that have antimicrobial effects against various disease-causing microbes such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi without negative side effects or harm to the environment. In this regard, four particular plants- Capsicum, Nigella sativa, Musa paradisiaca L., and Citrus limetta have been widely considered due to their excellent antimicrobial effect and ample availability. In this review, we discuss their antimicrobial effects due to the presence of thymoquinone, p-cymene, pinene, alkaloids, limonene, camphene, and melanin. These antimicrobial compounds disrupt the cell membrane of microbes, inhibit cellular division, and form biofilm in bacterial species, eventually reducing the number of microbes. Extraction of these compounds from the respective plants is carried out by different methods such as soxhlet, hydro-distillation, liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), solid-phase extraction (SPE), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), pulsed electric field (PEF), microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and high-voltage electrical discharge. Suitable selection of the extraction technique highly depends upon the associated advantages and disadvantages. In order to aid future study in this field, this review paper summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of each of these approaches. Additionally, the discussion covers how antimicrobial agents destroy harmful bacteria. Thus, this review offers in-depth knowledge to researchers on the antibacterial properties of Capsicum, Nigella sativa, Musa paradisiaca L. peels, and Citrus limetta.
