Potential of Azadirachtin and Neem (Azadirachta indica) Based Saponins as Biopesticides for In vitro Insect Pests Cellulase (Beta-1,4-Endoglucanase) Enzyme Inhibition and In vivo Repellency on Tribolium castaneum
Amtul Jamil Sami & A. R. Shakoori · Biotechnology Journal International · 2014
Aims: The work was undertaken to identify the role of Neem derived compounds (saponins and azadirachtin) on the digestive cellulose hydrolyzing enzyme activity of red flour beetle (T. castaneum), rice grasshopper (Oxya chinensis) and red pumpkin beetle (Aulacophora foveicolis)....
