efficacy of resin extracts formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate against and phytopathogenic fungi.

Contemporary agriculture heavily relies on pesticides for pest eradication and disease management. Consequently, current study was carried out to assess the acaricidal/antifungal efficacy of emulsifiable concentrate (10 % EC) derived from () against adult females of (), and five fungal pathogens. The meticulous examination of the chemical constitution of the crude extracts derived from the resin of was conducted through the employment of the venerable technique known as Gas-Liquid Chromatography (GLC). The formulated petroleum-ether extract (FPEE) and formulated ethyl-acetate extract (FEAE) of at a concentration of 10 mg ml exhibited notable antioxidant activity with rates of 62.0 % and 90.8 %, respectively. , the FEAE exhibited potent inhibition against all the tested phytopathogenic fungi at different concentrations, whereas FPEE showed comparatively less efficacy. Interestingly, at 4000 ppm concentration, FEAE completely ceased the mycelial growth compared with the control. Moreover, following a span of 72 h of intervention, FPEE exhibited a greater degree of toxicity towards mature females of the urticae. This was evidenced by the LC value of 422.52 parts per million (ppm) for FPEE, which surpassed the LC value of 539.50 ppm observed for FEAE. In summary, the present study indicates that resin formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate (10 % EC) can offer a natural and effective alternative for integrated pest management, thereby reducing reliance on synthetic pesticides and offering a more environmentally sustainable strategy for pest control.
