Although their effectiveness is evident, their impact on the environment is increasingly being discussed. The aim of this study is to determine the agro-ecological potential of a biological insecticide (C<sub>25</sub>H<sub>32</sub>O<sub>12</sub>) based on Aloe barbadensis in a Sahelian context. For this purpose, a completely randomized block experimental design with 3 replications and 4 treatments was set up to experiment with Aloe barbadensis as a bioinsecticide against pests of Abelmoschus esculentus. However, data were collected using an observation and parameter monitoring grid. This includes the cultivation of Abelmoschus esculentus, soil preparation, seeding and watering, plot labeling, preparation of the bioinsecticide (selection and preparation of raw materials, grinding of Aloe barbadensis miller and extraction of the crude bioinsecticide, quantification of treatment doses and dilution, and obtaining the formulated bioinsecticide), plant watering, plant treatment, and finally parameter monitoring. The results obtained reveal that the level of damage is significantly high in the control treatment T0 (63%) compared to the other treatments, with 29% for treatment T1, 7% for T2, and 1% for T3, implying a strong action capability of this insecticide against pests of Abelmoschus esculentus. Therefore, it can be concluded that for a normal growing season of Abelmoschus esculentus, this biological insecticide should be sprayed 12 times. Furthermore, this biological insecticide is unique in that it does not inflict any gastric toxicity on the pests, which gives it the characteristic of being a repellent. It is a biological insecticide whose efficacy period has been tested, with a minimum duration of 21 days. In conclusion, this formulated bioinsecticide based on Aloe barbadensis demonstrates significant efficacy against pests of Abelmoschus esculentus. In the future, we will consider experimenting with its effectiveness against pests of other plants.展开更多

Methods The samples were analyzed on a ODS column with methanol-water-triethylamine (3:97:0.1 V/V) as a mobile phase, The flow rate was 1.0 mL·min^-1, and UV detection wavelength 205 nm. Results Linear regression equation was A = 1.6920C + 1.7455 (r^2 = 0.9999, n = 5) in concentratim ranging from 20 to 120μg·mL^-1. The recoveries were 101.2±1.46 % at 80 μg·mL^-1, 100.5±0.75% at 100μg·mL^-1, and 100.7±1.10% at 120 μg·mL^-1, respectively, and the precisions of aloperine within or between run were from 0.80% to 1.98% ( n = 5). The relative contents of aloperine in three lots of tablets were 101.59 ± 1.38%, 98.46 ± 0.23%, and 99.41 ± 1.09% ( n = 3).Conclusion The newly developed reverse phase HPLC method is simple and useful for daily assay of aloperine tablets and can overcome the interference from excipient and other alkaloids in titration and UV detection.展开更多
