Phytochemical Screening and Bioactivity of <i>Ludwigia</i> spp. in the Control of <i>Plutella xylostella</i> (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae)
We tested the bioactivity of aqueous extracts of <i>Ludwigia</i> spp. (Myrtales: Onagraceae) on the biological cycle of <i>Plutella xylostella</i>. We assessed the duration of and viability during the larval, pupal and adult phases, as well as the influence of the extracts on...

| description | We tested the bioactivity of aqueous extracts of <i>Ludwigia</i> spp. (Myrtales: Onagraceae) on the biological cycle of <i>Plutella xylostella</i>. We assessed the duration of and viability during the larval, pupal and adult phases, as well as the influence of the extracts on the fecundity and hatching of <i>P. xylostella</i> eggs. Subsequently, we phytochemically screened the extracts. The extracts of <i>L. tomentosa</i> and <i>L. longifolia</i> reduced the pupal weight instead of prolonging the larval stage of <i>P. xylostella</i>. The <i>L. tomentosa</i> effect caused higher larval mortality and reduced the fecundity and hatching of <i>P. xylostella</i> eggs, and <i>L. sericea</i> reduced the egg survival. The phenolic compounds—flavonoids, condensed tannins and alkaloids—were more abundant in <i>L. nervosa</i>, <i>L. tomentosa</i>, <i>L. sericea</i> and <i>L. longifolia</i>. The <i>L. tomentosa</i>, <i>L. longifolia</i> and <i>L. sericea</i> extracts were bioactive, and these species showed the best results regarding their ability to control <i>P. xylostella</i> populations, because these plants produce substances able to inhibit food consumption and interfere with the morphological and physiological transformations of the offspring and the oviposition of adults. |
