Eco-Friendly Pest Control: Evaluating The Insecticidal Effects of Datura Stramonium and Eucalyptus Globulus Leaves Extracts Against Cydia Nigricana on Pisum Sativum

Medicinal plants are like wealthy resources of components which are often utilized in medicine development pharmacopoeial, non- pharmacopoeial or medications which are artificial. Furthermore, some parts are considered as essential way to obtain nourishment thus these are generally suitable for their values which can be healing. This study assessed the effectiveness of Datura stramonium and Eucalyptus globulus leaf extracts at concentrations of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 50% over exposure durations of 24, 48, and 72 hours against second instar larvae of Cydia nigricana (pea pest) during the winter season (November 2020– January 2021). From November 2020 to January 2021, Datura stramonium and Eucalyptus globulus extracts showed increasing pest mortality with longer exposure and higher concentrations. Mortality ranged from~23% at 24 hours to ~45% at 72 hours, with statistical analysis confirming a significant effect (p<0.05p < 0.05p<0.05). The findings showed that pest mortality rose with increasing extract concentrations and extended exposure times, highlighting their potential as eco-friendly pest control solutions.
