Discussion

Randomized block design assesses neem leaf extract efficacy on bemisia tabaci in eggplant, suggesting a natural pest control alternative.

Neem leaf extract significantly controlled bemisia tabaci, leading to increased eggplant yield.
Concentrations between 2-4 g.L-1 effectively reduced pest population to 0.35-0.74 individuals per plant.
The reduction in attack intensity ranged from 3.43-4.97%, enhancing production to 7.54-8.26 t ha-1.
The study implies neem leaf extract could be a sustainable alternative to chemical insecticides.

Yunus et al. (2025) studied this question.
