TI  - Use of lichens as natural insecticide
AB  - Agriculture has become one ofthe greatest sources of employment for mankind from the past to the present. Theproducts obtained in this area provide a significant contribution to thenational economies. However, the number oforganisms causing the decline in crop yield is quite high. The preferred applications forcombating harmful organisms are the use of chemical insecticides. However, the high level of sideeffects of these insecticides led researchers to alternative study areas. Insecticide production throughnatural products that is under the title of biological struggle, is withinpopular areas. Lichens are also materials for natural insecticide sources dueto their unique constituents in the constructions. For many years, the toxiceffects of lichens utilized in many fields ondifferent insect species have been tested through their extracts and purecomponents. At this point, it is noteworthy that while high yield is obtainedfrom lichens, the studies are predominantly carried out on the extracts.In thelight of all these studies, it will be contributed to biological insecticideproduction stage by increasing of the studies performed on determination of theactive components in lichens showing insecticidal activity on different speciesand on mechanisms of action in insects.
