Comparative Study On Effectiveness Of Citrus Limon Peelings And Cymbopogon Citratus Leaves Powder On Termites, Isoptera Rhinotimitidae.

Termites have long been notorious for damaging trees, furniture, and wooden houses. In response, synthetic pesticides were developed to mitigate these effects. However, their use raised new issues, such as environmental degradation, toxicity to animals and humans, and adverse impacts on the quality...

description Termites have long been notorious for damaging trees, furniture, and wooden houses. In response, synthetic pesticides were developed to mitigate these effects. However, their use raised new issues, such as environmental degradation, toxicity to animals and humans, and adverse impacts on the quality of yields. Consequently, biologists discovered that certain plants could serve as eco-friendly alternatives to these harmful synthetic pesticides. These plants contain secondary metabolites capable of repelling or killing termites. Interest in these botanicals has grown due to their environmental benefits and safety for non-target organisms. Studies showed that termite mortality increased with higher concentrations of plant extracts and decreased with longer exposure times. Among the tested botanicals, lemongrass extracts were more effective than lemon peels, with mortality rates of 57.14% and 42.86%, respectively.
