Azadirachtin‐based insecticide impairs testis morphology and spermatogenesis of the southern armyworm <i>Spodoptera eridania</i> (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Abstract

Azadirachtin damaged the testes of S. eridania larvae, and these changes compromised spermatogenesis and consequently the development of the reproductive potential of this specimen, making azadirachtin a promising botanical insecticide for application in integrated pest management programs. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
