Implication

Laboratory bioassay evaluates toxicity profiles of ten reputed pesticidal and medicinal plant extracts in brine shrimp, indicating their potential as bio-derived pest control agents.

Key Points

Screen and evaluate the biological activity and potential toxicity of five reputed pesticidal plants and five medicinal plants using the brine shrimp lethality bioassay.
Obtained and extracted plant material from five species reputed to exhibit pesticidal properties.
Prepared extracts from an additional five traditional medicinal plant species.
Screened all ten plant extracts for lethality and cytotoxic activity using the brine shrimp bioassay model.
Bioactive toxicity screening was completed for five candidate pesticidal plant extracts using brine shrimp mortality.
Comparative lethality profiles were established across five medicinal plant extracts in the same bioassay model.
