In the study titled "Insecticidal activity of garlic essential oil and their constituents against the mealworm

beetle, Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)" by Plata-Rueda et al. (2017), the
researchers investigated the effectiveness of garlic essential oil and its constituents as insecticides
against the mealworm beetle. Through laboratory experiments, they evaluated the impact of garlic
essential oil on various life stages of the mealworm beetle, including larvae, pupae, and adults. The study
aimed to identify specific compounds within garlic oil that contribute to its insecticidal properties. The
results of their research provide valuable insights into the potential use of garlic essential oil as a natural
and sustainable pest control strategy for managing the mealworm beetle. The findings contribute to the
existing knowledge on biopesticides and offer potential alternatives to synthetic insecticides in pest
management.

I apologize for the confusion earlier. Based on the corrected information, the research article titled
"Application of garlic allelochemicals improves growth and induces defense responses in eggplant
(Solanum melongena) against Verticillium dahliae" investigates the impact of garlic allelochemicals on
the growth and defense mechanisms of eggplant plants against the fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae.
The study demonstrates that the application of garlic allelochemicals positively affects the growth of
eggplant plants and stimulates their defense responses against Verticillium dahliae. These findings
suggest that the use of garlic allelochemicals could potentially serve as a natural and environmentally
friendly approach to enhance the protection of eggplant crops from fungal infections caused by
Verticillium dahliae.

The research article titled "Prospects of using garlic extracts for pest control in sustainable agriculture"
by Rinaldi, Casorri, Masciarelli, and Beni explores the potential of garlic extracts as a means of pest
control in sustainable agriculture. The study discusses the bioactive compounds present in garlic
extracts, such as allicin, and their effects on various pests, including insects, nematodes, and fungi. It
examines the mechanisms by which garlic extracts impact pest behavior, growth, reproduction, and
pathogenicity. The article also highlights the potential advantages of using garlic extracts in pest
management, including their low toxicity to non-target organisms, biodegradability, and compatibility
with other pest control methods. Overall, the study suggests that garlic extracts hold promise as a
natural and environmentally friendly approach to pest control in sustainable agriculture.

The research article titled "Assessment of the ancestral use of garlic (Allium sativum) and nettle (Urtica
dioica) as botanical insecticides in the protection of mesquite (Prosopis laevigata) seeds against
bruchins" by González-Macedo, Cabiro, and Rojas-Oropeza investigates the traditional use of garlic and
nettle as botanical insecticides for protecting mesquite seeds against bruchins. The study examines the
efficacy of garlic and nettle extracts in suppressing bruchin infestation and evaluates their impact on
seed germination and seedling growth. The article explores the active compounds present in garlic and
nettle extracts and their potential insecticidal properties. The findings suggest that both garlic and nettle
extracts demonstrate insecticidal activity against bruchins, effectively reducing their infestation on
mesquite seeds. Moreover, the study indicates that the application of these botanical insecticides does
not negatively affect seed germination or seedling growth. This research highlights the ancestral use of
garlic and nettle as natural alternatives for protecting mesquite seeds against bruchin pests.
