This paper focuses on the selection of effective botanical pesticides to control A. lucorum and E. apicalis. This experiment explores the effect of several botanical pesticides for A. lucorum and E. apicalis, including the 0.5% veratrine, the0.6% Oxygen·Lactone agent, the 5% natural pyrethrin, the composite neem pesticide, the rotenone and the composite nicotine. The 0.5% veratrine shows a stable control efficacy, which is higher than 60% in Chengdu, while the composite nicotine shows the highest efficacy against A. lucorum, which is above 70%. In Yinchuan,the 0.5% veratrine shows the highest efficacy, against the first generation adults and the second generation larvae of E. apicalis, while the 5% natural pyrethrin shows 100% control efficacy against E. apicalis in Nanjiang. The 0.5% veratrine and the composite neem could be used as effective pesticides to control A. lucorum and the 5% natural pyrethrin can be used to control E. apicalis. They could be widely used in the production of pollution-free grapes.展开更多

Traditional and cultural practices such as site selection, crop rotation, intercropping and seed selection, sowing date are used to reduce the infestation of insect pests of common beans in the field and in storage rooms. Natural enemies such as predators, parasitoids and pathogens can control the insect pests. Synthetic pesticides such as cypermethion, carbaryl, and lambda-cyhalothrin have reported to be effective, but are toxic to people, destroy natural enemies and contaminate the environment. Botanical pesticides are the promising alternatives. This review paper explains toxicity, persistence and mode of actions of active ingredients of botanical pesticides. Rotenone from T. vogelii has the oral lethal dose (LD<sub>50</sub>) of 132 - 1500 mg/kg to mammals. It delays the electron transport chain in mitochondria of the insects and limits the cellular energy production. Azadirachtin is antifeedant and growth disruptor of insects. It has low toxicity to mammals. The oral LD<sub>50</sub> in mammals is greater than 3540 mg/kg. Azadirachtin displays strong effects on chemoreceptors of the insects. Pyrethrins are axonic poisons and have repellent effects to insects. It is less toxic to mammals with the LD<sub>50</sub> of about 1500 mg/Kg. It attacks the nervous systems of insects. Sesquiterpene lactones from T. diversifolia, Pentacyclic triterpenoids from Lantana camara, Vernodalin, Vernodalol and Epivernodalol from V. amygdalina have repellent and feeding deterrents chemicals which discourage the insects from feeding the crop. Most active ingredients of botanical pesticides have short life span in the environment.展开更多

Elimination or halting J2s could be an efficient strategy to control RKN. Recently, it was reported that a commercial product of Neem （Azadirachta indica） seed extract （Azadirachtin 1% Emulsion Concentrate-EC） significantly reduced the number of galls on tomato roots and egg masses, compared to the untreated control. In the present study neem proved to have a direct immobilising effect on RKN J2s. Different concentrations （0, 0.05, 0,1, 0.25, 0.5, I, 5, 10, 25 and 50%） of the tested neem product were applied with water containing fresh J2s and in soil naturally infected with RKN. Records of immobilised J2s were taken after 10 min, 1 h, 6 h, 24 h and 72 h of Neem application in water and after six days of neem application into the soil. Neem solution concentrations 5% and 10%, resulted in 85% ± 3.2 and 100% of immobilised J2s. The same concentrations of neem when were added in the water for nematode extraction from the soil, resulted 14.25% ± 4.01 and 1.7%, of J2s extracted from the soil with a significant concentration effect （P = 0.008）, compared to the untreated control. However, the neem product at high application dose significant damage the tomato plants caused phytoxicity.展开更多

文摘[ Objective ] The paper was to study the rooting promotion activity of plant extracts, so as to lay the foundation for development of natural source of roo- fing reagent with high efficiency, safety and environment friendship. [Method] Using mung bean rooting method, the rooting promotion effects of 33 plant extracts on mung bean section were studied. [Result] When the concentration was 1 mg/mL, Eupatorium adenophorum （stem and leaf）, Cryptomeriafortunei （stem and leaf）, Pinus yunnanensis （stem）, Pinus yunnanensis （leaf）, Rhododendron simsii （leaf）, Pinus armandii （leaf）, Litchi chinensis （pericarp）, P/nus armandiifruit （fruit） and Alnus cremastogyne （leaf） showed strong promotion effect on rooting of mung bean sections, and the rooting promotion rate reached over 100% ; the roo- ting promotion effect ofE. adenophorum （stem and leaf） was the strongest, reaching（1068.42 ＋7.87）%, which was extremely higher than the extracts of other plants. [Conclusion] E. adenophorum （stem and leaf）, C. fortunei （stem and leaf）, P. yunnanens/s （stem）, P. yurmanens/s （leaf）, R. simsii （leaf）, P. armandii （leaf）, L. chinensis （pericarp）, P. armandiifruit （fruit） and A. cremastogyne （leaf） all contained substances with st/ong rooting promotion effect, which could be further used for development of natural rooting reagent.
文摘Root-Knot Nematodes （RKN） Meloidogyne spp. significantly affects glasshouse tomatoes in Central Greece. Elimination or halting J2s could be an efficient strategy to control RKN. Recently, it was reported that a commercial product of Neem （Azadirachta indica） seed extract （Azadirachtin 1% Emulsion Concentrate-EC） significantly reduced the number of galls on tomato roots and egg masses, compared to the untreated control. In the present study neem proved to have a direct immobilising effect on RKN J2s. Different concentrations （0, 0.05, 0,1, 0.25, 0.5, I, 5, 10, 25 and 50%） of the tested neem product were applied with water containing fresh J2s and in soil naturally infected with RKN. Records of immobilised J2s were taken after 10 min, 1 h, 6 h, 24 h and 72 h of Neem application in water and after six days of neem application into the soil. Neem solution concentrations 5% and 10%, resulted in 85% ± 3.2 and 100% of immobilised J2s. The same concentrations of neem when were added in the water for nematode extraction from the soil, resulted 14.25% ± 4.01 and 1.7%, of J2s extracted from the soil with a significant concentration effect （P = 0.008）, compared to the untreated control. However, the neem product at high application dose significant damage the tomato plants caused phytoxicity.

文摘[Objectives] The paper was to study the prevention and control effect of botanical pesticides on Semiaphis heraclei at different temperatures. [Methods] When the daily average temperatures in spring were 15 and 20 ℃, the control effects of 0.3% azadirachtin EC 500 times dilution and 0.3% matrine AS 1 000 times dilution on S. heraclei were studied. [Results] When the daily average temperature was 15 ℃, 0.3% azadirachtin EC 500 times dilution had relatively good control effect on S. heraclei, with a long duration. The prevention and control of S. heraclei in spring better controlled the population quantity of S. heraclei fundatrix and reduced the degree of harm. [Conclusions] The study provides a basis for the pollution-free control of S. heraclei in the green space of parks.
