| description | The use of synthetic pesticides and herbicides to control insect and weed pests has posed substantial problems due to
their persistence in the environment, insect resistance and high mammalian toxicity. On the other hand. plant-de1ived
insecticide are more readily biodegraded, less likely to contaminate the environment and less toxic to non target
organism.s. Hence, the search for new sources of such compounds from plants has gained popularity amongst
researchers. A screening procedure far the presence of bioactive compounds from plant sources by using brim: shrimp
as the general bio assay has been can;ed out and a number of plant species has been identified for further detailed
studies. The crude extracts and purified samples were further tested using other more specific bioassay methods. |
