Application


  • Toxicities of 31 volatile low molecular weight compounds against Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus.: Highlighting the practical applications of hexyl formate in public health, this study evaluates its efficacy as an insecticidal agent against mosquito species known for transmitting diseases. Such research is vital for developing environmentally friendly pest control methods (Chaskopoulou et al., 2009).
