Olive Psyllid, Pistachio Psylla and Medfly Vs Hing
Note: All the mentioned uses for this product are the result of investigations that have been done in the climate of Iran.
Fortunately, in recent years (2015 to 2022), very good things have happened in the field of Hing (Asafoetida) processing and the production of medicine and various compounds based on it in Iran.
After the production of the Covexir Pars drug in Iran, another group of Iranian experts succeeded in patenting an invention with the help of Hing (Heeng) based on some of the pharmacological properties of Hing.
Article: COVID-19 Treatments With Hing (Asafoetida)
After conducting microbial and viral analyses, Iranian researchers produced a disinfectant composition based on the antibacterial properties of Asafoetida (Hing).
In the rest of the article, you will learn more about this combination.
The necessity of a strong antiseptic formulation based on herbal compounds
Before trying to introduce different aspects of the produced composition, I decided to point out the importance of using strong antiseptic formulations based on plant compounds.
Article: Hing Uses And Side Effects
The following three reasons justify the importance of using strong antiseptic formulations based on plant compounds:
- The widespread emerging or re-emerging zoonosis bacterial, parasitic, and viral diseases in the endemic and pandemic forms in the society
- Antibiotic resistance due to the inappropriate use of this drug class and also the lack of proper efficiency
- Unfavorable environmental effects and the occurrence of inappropriate side effects on tissue following the use of disinfectants based on chemical compounds
The initial introduction of the composition
Full name of the invention:
Disinfectant and antiseptic composition of nanostructure using Asafoetida plant.
Product: Asafoetida Suppliers In Iran
This composition has been produced and formulated in technical, medical, veterinary, and pharmaceutical fields (disinfectant compounds) and has no domestic or foreign samples (up to this year: 2022).
Product ingredients
This product is completely recombinant and very strong, which includes the following ingredients:
Row | Scientific name |
---|---|
1 | Asafoetida resin hydroalcoholic extract |
2 | Zinc oxide nanoparticles |
3 | Saponin |
4 | Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid |
5 | Hydrochloric acid |
6 | Trichloroacetic acid |
7 | Dimethyl sulfoxide |
All of the above compounds create synergistic effects with each other.
The researchers synthesized a high-level disinfectant compound.
What is the composition of high-level disinfectant?
The compounds that can reduce at least 10 to the power of 7 logarithms of bacteria.
This compound was synthesized and studies were conducted on it, including nanostructural studies and chemical composition studies, and finally patented.
Advantages of the produced composition
Among the most important advantages of this invention, the following can be mentioned:
- Using native medicinal plants to replace chemical compounds
- Being non-toxic
- No damage to the environment
- High efficiency
- It can be widely used to disinfect humans, animals, birds, and aquatic animals
The introduced combination does not have the following effects:
- Respiratory stimulation
- Skin sensitization
- Effects of corrosion on metals and other surfaces
As you noticed; the compound made is organic and plant sources have been used in its production, and it can be used in pest control.
No corrosion effect on dental equipment surfaces
One of the problems with dental equipment is that most antiseptic compounds on the market have corrosive effects on the surfaces of the steel equipment used. While the compound made by Iranian researchers lacks these effects.
Control and combat against Mediterranean fruit fly
Different names of this pest:
- Ceratitis capitata
- Mediterranean fruit fly
- Medfly
In Iran, farmers usually use the following tools to control and prevent the increase in the Mediterranean fruit fly population:
- Pheromone Traps
- Ceratinex
- Protein Hydrolysis
In one of the pomegranate orchards of Yazd province in Iran, to prevent the damage caused by the Mediterranean fly pest, a more diluted amount of the produced compound was sprayed on the pomegranates, which received very good feedback based on the observations of the R&D team.
It is interesting to know that in previous years in the same pomegranate garden, farmers had to burn part of the pomegranates due to the pest of the Mediterranean fly.
Control and combat against olive psyllid pest
Different names of this pest:
- Olive psyllid
- Euphyllura olivine Costa (Hom., Aphalaridae)
- Euphyllura olivina (Costa)
By producing honey-dew, olive psyllid absorbs dust and prevents leaf respiration and photosynthesis.
The most important stage of damage to the plant is the stage of insect instar, which leaves the following effects feeding on plant sap.
- General weakness
- Flower, fruit, and leaf fall
- Reduced fruit growth
- Decreased performance
In an olive farm, the R&D team used this compound experimentally to control and combat olive psyllid on several farm trees.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the mentioned compound on olive psyllid and its effect on the flavor of olives.
Before using this compound, the owner of the farm used to spray the trees with Nano antiseptic compounds to combat olive psyllid.
The use of a Nano-disinfectant compound caused the psyllids to return after approximately one month.
The invented composition has several soluble and powdery parts, for this reason, its use causes that when the soluble part is removed, the powdery compounds remain.
During the investigation of antimicrobial effects, the mentioned compound was able to be active on the surface for 24 hours. Therefore, if bacteria sit on the surface during to 24 hours after using this compound, this combination will have its antimicrobial effect, again.
It is interesting to know that after spraying the mentioned compound on the specified olive trees, the psyllids did not return to those trees for at least two months.
The power of reducing at least 10 to the power of 7 of the bacterial logarithm
The power of the mentioned combination in reducing at least 10 to the power of 7 bacterial logarithms was checked on several bacterial strains such as the following and it was effective:
- Staphylococcus aureus
- E. coli
- Klebsiella
They investigated the effects of this compound on the following viral agents, which were effective:
- Gumboro disease
- Foot-and-Mouth Disease
- Avian influenza or bird flu
Other uses of disinfectant and antiseptic composition
A. Pistachio Psylla pest (THE COMMON PISTACHIO PSYLLA) is a very serious problem for gardeners and causes irreparable damage economically.
Pistachio farm owners spend a lot of money every year to combat pistachio Psylla.
The good news is that the R&D team of this compound used it experimentally in a part of a pistachio farm in Yazd province in Iran with good results.
B. In a cherry tomato production greenhouse, this compound was used, which was effective for the fungi that were problematic in the greenhouse.
C. With the help of this combination, researchers conducted studies on aquatic pathogens, which were effective.
D. The effect of the mentioned compound on fungal agents was also investigated, and it was effective.
Certainly, Iranian researchers will not stop processing and producing Hing-based products, and in the coming years, while strengthening the current production, we will see products with focused uses.
