Abstract

Chemopreventive and Chemosensitizing Effects of Green Tea: An Evidence-based Review

Highlights

  • Insect pests have always been an inevitable threat to global food production causing ubiquitously untold damage to different agricultural, horticultural and forest crops

  • Farmers predominantly rely on the synthetic insecticides to combat the infestation of H. armigera and S. litura

  • Many non-target effects are being manifested by the extensive use of these synthetic chemicals such as the development of pesticide resistance, eradication of beneficial fauna including insect parasitoids and predators, and human health hazards (Isman, 2006; Desneux et al, 2007; Halstead et al, 2015; Naeem et al, 2016; Kim et al, 2017; Dhananjayan et al, 2020; Haddi et al, 2020)

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Insect pests have always been an inevitable threat to global food production causing ubiquitously untold damage to different agricultural, horticultural and forest crops. Helicoverpa armigera Hübner and Spodoptera litura Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) are destructive lepidopterous pests These are polyphagous pest species of cosmopolitan distribution, causing severe losses to agricultural production worldwide (Liu et al, 2004; Bragard et al, 2019). Plant collection Samples of indigenous plants (including herbs, shrubs and trees) were randomly collected from six different ecological sites of Soon valley situated in between 71°55’0.9’’ E longitude and 32°33’2.5’’ N latitude in the north-west of district Khushab (Punjab, Pakistan). These sampling sites were Angah, Dape Sharif, Kenhatti Garden, Khabeki, Khoora and Uchhali Garden (Table I; Supplementary Fig. 1).
