Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Application of medicinal plant processing wastes, especially 80 g of nettle, reduced the number of Tuta absoluta eggs on tomato from 0.8 to 0.4 egg per leaf.
- Intervention effect Aphid numbers were highest in control (36 aphids per plant) and lowest on cucumbers treated with 80 g of cumin waste (18 aphids per plant).
- Intervention effect The lowest intrinsic rate of increase of Tuta absoluta (0.08 per day) was observed in tomatoes fertilized with nettle.
- Intervention effect The lowest net reproductive rate of Tuta absoluta (20 offspring) was observed in tomatoes fertilized with nettle.
- Intervention effect The net reproductive rate of Aphis gossypii was highest on control plants and lowest on plants treated with 80 g of nettle.
- Intervention effect The percentage of dry weight loss in aphid-infested plants was reduced by medicinal plant processing wastes, with the lowest loss at 80 g of nettle.
- Recommendation Soil amendment with medicinal plant processing wastes could lower pest populations and may improve plant tolerance to insect pest stress, making them useful in pest management.
