Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation LC–MS analysis showed that the four Salvia species contain diverse secondary metabolites, including diterpenoids, triterpenoids and flavonoids.
- Intervention effect S. discolor extracts (0.16–5.00 mg/mL) had a strong larvicidal effect on T. absoluta, with an LC50 of 0.12 mg/mL.
- Intervention effect S. discolor extracts (0.16–5.00 mg/mL) had a strong feeding-inhibitory effect on T. absoluta larvae, with an FI50 of 0.13 mg/mL.
- Mechanism Weak inhibition of acetylcholinesterase was observed, suggesting a minor contribution of neurotoxic effects to the overall activity of the S. discolor extract.
- Recommendation The authors suggest S. discolor extracts may be useful for managing T. absoluta infestations, pending evaluation of effects on non-target organisms.
