Abstract

Introduction Considering the lack of effective chemical toxins for principled control of plant pests in farms and greenhouses, introducing new bio-based components is presumably a suitable solution for sustainable management of plant pests to save agricultural products. Chitosan and its derivatives have received attention as alternatives to pesticides in agriculture. Insects are a good source for chitosan isolation. In the present study, chitosan was obtained from honey bee (Apis mellifera L.; Hymenoptera, Apidae) and dwarf grasshopper (Chrotogonus trachypterus Blanchard; Orthoptera, Pyrgomorphidae), and the insecticidal activities of N-alkyl and O-acyl chitosan derivatives were assessed to control some plant pests including warehouse and greenhouse pests (including three aphid species (cabbage aphid, oleander aphid, and spring green aphid), three Coleopteran species (cowpea weevil, rice weevil, and flour beetle), and two mite (two-spotted spider mite and varroa mites) species).
