ABSTRACT
In continuation of our previous work, the current study explores an environmentally benign approach for the control of
Phenacoccus solenopsis
Tinsley
(Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) using a synergistic
combination of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds
(1a-1e; 2a-2i) and the natural products, neem oil (N1) and nicotinic acid (N2). Our approach also evaluates the insecticidal activity of
3-(5-chloro-1,3-diaryl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-arylprop-2-en-1-one(2j-2o) consisting of bioactive moieties, viz., chalcone and pyrazole, in
a single molecular structure. Compounds 2l and 2o exhibited maximum activity with 58% and 50 % of mortality, respectively, under
laboratory conditions. Among various test combinations, 2a-N2 showed maximum insecticidal activity, with 54% mortality, compa-
rable to that of the most active newly synthesized compound, 2l, followed by 1c-N1 and 2g-N2 with 52% mortality. The compound
2a was also found to be non-toxic to potato tuber used as a plant substrate in the current investigation.
