Sampling sites regarding the collection of local flora of Soon Valley and surrounding Salt Range of Pakistan.

Figure 2:

Twig-dip (A-C) and leaf-dip (D-F) bioassay methods used for the evaluation of toxicity potential of botanical extracts against ACP (D. citri) and cotton aphid (A. gossypii), respectively. 

Figure 3:

Percent mortality (mean ± SE; n = 10) of cotton aphid (A. gossypii) individuals exposed to different concentrations of botanical extracts observed at different post-exposure time intervals. For each botanical extract, small alphabets indicate statistical difference among time intervals for each concentration, while capital alphabets are indicating the statistical difference among different concentrations (one-way factorial ANOVA; HSD at α = 0.05).
