Insecticides are used in agriculture, medicine, industry, and general home use. The use of insecticides is believed to be one of the major factors behind the increase in agricultural productivity in the 20th century. Nearly all insecticides have the potential to significantly alter ecosystems, many are toxic to humans and others are concentrated in the food chain.

The idea was to have a nice range of capsaicin concentrations to clearly reflect the subjective pain one experiences from biting into a chili. Fresh Habanero, Jalapeno and Red Bell Pepper were purchased from the local Family Fresh grocery store to be analyzed via HPLC.…

    The extract of 3000 M MG showed 60 and 50 % germination of radish and sand fescue respectively, on the day 4, compared with control (Figure 7). MG inhibited shoot and root growth of radish at the concentration greater than 1 M (Figure 8), and inhibited shoot and root growth of sand fescue at the concentrations greater than 10 and 1M, respectively (Figure 8 ). The inhibitory activity was increased with increasing the concentration of MG (Figure 9). Considering the I50 values of the shoot and root growth of radish were 10.69 and 4.74 M, respectively and the shoot and root growth of sand fescue were 626.12 and 254.46 M, respectively (Table 2). Therefore, MG may have potential as either herbicide or a template of new groups of herbicides. These results are consistent with other findings that natural compounds may have possibility to use as herbicides (Dayan et al. 2000; Duke et al. 2002; Cantrell et al. 2012; Dayan et al. 2012; Dayan and Duke 2014), and are more environmentally friendly than many of currently used synthetic herbicides (Hoagland and Cutler 2000; Duke et al. 2010; Dayan and Duke…

    Plant diseases need to be controlled to maintain the quality and abundance of food, feed, and fiber produced by growers around the world. Different approaches may be used to prevent, mitigate or control plant diseases. Beyond good agronomic and horticultural practices, growers often rely heavily on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Such input to agriculture have contributed significantly to the spectacular improvements in crop productivity and quality over the past 100 years. however, the environmental pollution caused by excessive use and misuse of agrochemicals, as well as fear- mongering by some opponents of pesticides, has led to considerable changes in people’s attitudes towards the use of pesticides in agriculture. Today, there are strict regulations on chemical pesticide use, and there is political pressure to remove the most hazardous chemicals from the market. Additionally, the spread of plant diseases in natural ecosystems may preclude successful application of chemicals, because of the scale to which such application might have to be applied. Consequently, some pest management researchers have focus their efforts on developing alternative inputs to synthetic chemicals for controlling pest and diseases. Among these alternatives are those referred to as biological control.…
