Description 260-273
Insects are the most adaptable creatures found all over the world. They affect both the quality and quantity of many crops.
The plant contains various secondary metabolites that can hamper insect molting, metamorphosis, growth and development.
Cassia fistula is a rich source of amino acids, carbohydrates, fatty acids, flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, and polyphenols, which
possess antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. Also, the antifeedant, larvicidal, ovicidal, nymphicidal, and adulticidal
properties of these phytocomponents have been documented. Nanoformulations based on plant decoction can act as potent
insecticidal agents against insects. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesised from C. fistula fruit pulp extract drastically
affected the midgut wall of insects and altered their growth and reproduction, ultimately leading to insect death. The potentials
of botanicals, C. fistula, and nano-formulations of plant extracts were explored in Insect pest management.
