Products based on plant extracts such as garlic have now been registered in the EU and elsewhere [15] [citation needed].
Skeletal structure of the 8 different natural avermectins [1] The avermectins are a group of 16-membered macrocyclic lactone derivatives with potent anthelmintic and insecticidal properties. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] These naturally occurring compounds are generated as fermentation products by Streptomyces avermitilis , a soil actinomycete .
Scirtothrips dorsalis, the chilli thrips [derivation 1] or yellow tea thrips, is an extremely successful invasive species of pest-thrips [1] which has expanded rapidly from Asia over the last twenty years, and is gradually achieving a global distribution.
