Abstract
Plant-based nano-insecticides like Salvia abrotanoides provide eco-friendly pest control with low resistance risk. This study aimed to evaluate the insecticidal activity of the Fe3O4 @Carbon nanoformulation of S. abrotanoides extract with a carbon shell and pure extract against Phthorimaea operculella (eggs and larvae), a significant potato pest in Iran. A modified solvothermal method produced highly water-dispersible magnetite (Fe3O4) particles, with citrate as a stabilising agent. A carbon layer was added through hydrothermal treatment, using polyethylene glycol as a linking agent between glucose and the Fe3O4 spheres. SEM analysis confirmed the structure of the Fe3O4@Carbon nanocomposite, while FTIR and EDS verified the methanolic extract's presence. The Fe3O4@Carbon nano extract demonstrated greater toxicity to the pest's eggs and larvae than the pure extract, with lower LC50 values (752.23-355 ppm), indicating higher potency. These findings confirm that Fe3O4@Carbon S. abrotanoides nanoparticles are effective, pollution-free, and green nano-insecticides against Ph. operculella.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.
The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.
Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either ""Part A - Synthesis and Structure"" or ""Part B - Bioactive Natural Products"". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
