“…Known in Mexico as hierba de zorillo ("skunk weed"), due to its content of sulfur compounds, Guinea hen weed (Petiveria alliacea) is widely distributed in Mexico, Central, and South America (Sariego 2013;CONABIO, 2022). It has been evaluated for the control of insects, nematodes, bacteria, and fungi of genus Aspergillus (Barrera et al, 2017;Bracho et al, 2019;Pinargote et al, 2019;Oredoyin et al, 2020).…”

Objective: To evaluate in vitro plant extracts of three plant species —mistletoe (Psittacanthus spp.), guinea hen weed (Petiveria alliacea), and ginger (Zingiber officinale)— with the aim of determining their inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth of Penicilliun citrinum isolated from coffee beans.Design/Methodology/Approach: Filtrations were carried out under aseptic conditions using a vacuum system and were added to the Potato Dextrose Agar medium. Once it had solidified, a 5-mm disc of P. citrinum was placed in the center of the Petri dish.Results: The ethyl plant extracts, like the chemical product, showed a 100% inhibition on the pathogen development.Findings/Conclusions: Ethyl plant extracts can be an agroecological alternative for the control of P. citrinum.

Natural products, specifically plant extracts with biological activity and the ability to act as botanical biopesticides are often mistakenly considered nontoxic. Scientific evidence indicates the contrary, and for this reason, the objective of this work was to evaluate the toxicity of extracts obtained from Petiveria alliacea L. (Caryophyllales, Phytolaccaceae) using Daphnia magna Straus (Cladocera, Daphniidae) as a bioindicator to identify the plant extracts and the respective concentrations that present the highest toxicity. Leaves of P. alliacea were collected in the Peruvian amazone. From this material, three types of extract (hexane, ethanolic and aqueous) were prepared, which were used in the bioassays with D. magna to find the least toxic extract. Acute toxicity bioassays with D. magna during 48 h of exposure to hexane, ethanolic, and aqueous extracts yielded median lethal concentration (LC50) values of 26.9, 230.6, and 657.9 mg L-1, respectively. The aqueous extract presented the lowest toxicity, causing minimal D. magna mortality in the range of 6.67 to 13.33% at concentrations of 10 and 100 mg L-1. This result enables the efficient use of this plant species in a sustainable manner with a minimal environmental impact for the future development of natural products for pest control.
