20.500.12556/RUL-184439 Insecticidal activity of five extracts plant species against the black bean aphid Aphis fabae Scopoli, 1763 (Hemiptera: Aphididae) Insekticidno delovanje izvlečkov petih rastlinskih vrst proti črni listni uši fižola (Aphis fabae Scopoli, 1763 (Hemiptera: Aphididae) Biological control against aphids is very limited. Crop protection against these pests is still largely based on chemical methods, which highlights the need for alternative strategies that are economically viable, environmentally safe, and non-toxic. To contribute to the development of more sustainable control approaches, the potential of five plant species was evaluated against Aphis fabae Scopoli, 1763, a major pest of beans and several other cultivated crops. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of aqueous extracts of tooth lavender, oregano, peppermint, garlic, and noble laurel in controlling aphid populations. Aphid rearing and toxicity assays were conducted under laboratory conditions. Different concentrations of each extract were prepared by dilution and tested on A. fabae. The results showed that lavender and garlic leaf extracts exhibited strong aphicidal activity, causing 99.4 % and 97.9 % mortality, respectively, at the lowest concentration tested (10 %). In contrast, peppermint extract was the least effective, with an efficacy of 25.7 % at the same concentration. biocidal effec aqueous extract Aphis fabae tooth lavender noble laurel oregano peppermint garlic biocidni učinek vodni izvleček Aphis fabae črna fižolova uš nazobčana sivka žlahtni lovor origano poprova meta česen true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-07-07 14:12:20 2026-07-07 14:12:25 2026-07-08 04:12:20 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 7 str. no. 2 Vol. 122 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 63 1854-1941 10.14720/aas.2026.122.2.25492 283945731 AIT+AMAR-BERRAS+et+al.+(O).pdf AIT+AMAR-BERRAS+et+al.+(O).pdf 1 80E44BD1B74483EEF1BC0504E145C6BB 4529b6785b6b12dcdcb16da65a49d2dc7e6df6fc2f1427570d85a87145f00eec 664dbc81-79fd-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=237263 https://journals.uni-lj.si/aas/article/view/25492 1 01bd3b78-79fd-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=237262 Biotehniška fakulteta Acta agriculturae Slovenica 0 0 0
