Argentine plants as potential source of insecticidal compounds.
CH2Cl2 and MeOH extracts of 15 Argentine plants used locally as insecticides, were evaluated for their insecticidal activity. Chenopodium multifidum L. (Chenopodiaceae); Flaveria bidentis (L.) O.K. (Compositae); Aristolochia argentina Gris. (Aristolochiaceae) and Tagetes erecta L. (Compositae) showed a significant activity against Sitophilus oryzae.
