Insecticidal Activity of Ricinus communis Leaf Extracts Against Bactrocera zonata and Bactrocera cucurbitae: Identification of Potential Bioactive Compounds

Simple Summary This study evaluated the insecticidal potential of R. communis leaf extracts against the major agricultural pests Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett), and the peach fruit fly Bactrocera zonata (Coquillett) (Diptera: Tephritidae). The methanol and ethyl acetate fractions demonstrated the highest bioactivit...

Comparative Responses of Invasive and Native Plant Species to Combined Cd and Microplastic Pollution.

The co-occurrence of heavy metal contamination and biodegradable microplastic (polylactic acid, PLA) pollution poses increasing risks to terrestrial plant communities and soil functioning, yet species-specific responses to combined stress remain poorly understood. Cd and microplastics frequently co-occur in agricultura...
