Bioefficacy, ovicidal action and ovipositional deterrence of a few selected bio-pesticides such as neem kernel aqueous extract (NKAE), pongam kernel aqueous extract (PKAE) and garlic aqueous extract (GAE) were evaluated in the laboratory against the tea red spider mite (RSM). Data were collected on the mortality of eggs and adults and also on the reduction in the fecundity of female mites. The acaricidal property of the biopesticides was compared with that of Derrimax, a commercial bioformulation. Ovipositional deterrence as well as ovicidal and adulticidal properties were evaluated using laboratory reared mites, by directly spraying the test material onto the leaf discs. The results revealed that, Derrimax and NKAE could inflict more than 90% mortality on RSM compared to PKAE and GAE. However, all the adult mites were killed within 96 hrs after treatment by all the tested botanicals, except NKAE @ 5.0%. Ovipositional deterrence ranged between 80 and 100%.

Ostroumov S.A., Kotelevtsev S.V. Toxicology of nanomaterials and environment. - Ecologica. 2011, vol. 18, issue 61, pp. 3-10. Manufactured nanoparticles demonstrated a variety of biological activities, including toxicity. The goal of this review articles is to summarize some evidence of a variety of toxic effects produced by manufactured nanoparticles, including both the data from literature and the new data of the authors (e.g., [42]). The toxicity of nanomaterials was shown both to prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. As for eukaryotic organisms, toxicity was found in bioassays with both animal and plant test systems. In further studies, it is necessary to continue the studies of various aspects of toxicity of nanoparticles, and to extend the range of organisms and test systems that are being used for assessing the biological effects of nanomaterials. The methods that were previously developed to study phytotoxicity of chemicals [15-28, 48] will be useful to generate new data on toxicology of nanomaterials.

Responses of Unio tumidus to mixed chemical preparations and the hazard of synecological summation of anthropogenic effects. - Doklady Biological Sciences, 2001, Volume 380, Numbers 1-6, p. 492-495. ISSN 0012-4966 (Print) 1608-3105 (Online). DOI 10.1023/A:1012344026176. The author introduced a new concept and term, “the synecological summation of the effects of anthropogenic factors on organisms”. In the new author’s experiments, the effects of commercial detergents, which are chemical mixtures, on bivalves (detergent OMO, freshwater mussels Unio tumidus) were studied. Detergents exert two types of hazardous effects on organisms and ecosystems: the phosphorus-induced stimulation of phytoplankton growth and surfactant-induced inhibition of filter-feeders. Because filter-feeders are an effective natural factor of control of unicellular plankton populations, the two types of the detergent-induced effects on ecosystem facilitate the growth of phytoplankton populations. Therefore, these effects sum together, thereby increasing the hazard of the man-made impact on the ecosystem. The results contribute to a better understanding of the potential ecological danger of pollutants for integral functions of ecosystems. It is the synecological summation of the effects of anthropogenic factors on plankton populations and filter-feeders that is of particular concern. The interaction between populations of plankton organisms and filter-feeders that feed on plankton should be taken into consideration in the studies on the ecological effects of synthetic detergents on these populations. Situations of man-made impact should be analyzed with using the synecological approach to the problem. http://sites.google.com/site/2001dbs380p492unio/; www.springerlink.com/index/L33309208H28L87R.pdf; DOI 10.1023/A:1012344026176; Translated from the original Russian paper: Responses of Unio tumidus to a mixture of chemicals and the hazard of synecological summation of anthropogenic effects (Reagirovanie Unio tumidus pri vozdeistvii smesevogo himicheskogo preparata i opasnost sinekologicheskogo summirovaniya antropogennyh vozdeistviy). — DAN. 2001.

Effect of environmental pollution with a cationic surface-active substance on algae and Fagopyrum esculentum sprouts. – The Soviet Journal of Ecology [ISSN 00967807; later the journal was entitled: Russian Journal of Ecology]. 1990. Vol. 21. No.2, p. 79-81. http://scipeople.com/publication/70248/ 3 tables. Bibliogr. 10 refs. [in collaboration: Ostroumov S.A., Tret’yakova A.N. ). [At that moment of time the journal was published by Plenum Publishing Corporation, 233 Spring St., N.Y., N.Y. 10013; the reference number of the publication published at the first page of the paper: 0096-7807/90/2102-0079]. The effects of environmental pollution with a cationic surface-active substance (surfactant tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide TDTMA) on certain cyanobacteria and algae - cyanobacteria Nostoc muscorum Ag, strain 33 isolated from the soil in the Kirov Oblast (Region); green algae Bracteacoccus minor (Chodat) Petrova, strain 200 and strain 219 (the strain 219 was isolated from the volcanic ash collected next to Tyatya Volcano, island of Kunashir) - was investigated. Their sensitivity to that surfactant TDTMA was compared with the sensitivity of a test based on the use of terrestrial plants. The algal experiments were performed with aquatic and soil cultures. The experiments with terrestrial plants used the earlier-developed method with seedlings of Fagopyrum esculentum Moench. TDTMA at concentrations 1 mg/L and above produced some negative effects on cyanobacteria and algae in aquatic cultures. TDTMA at concentrations 50 mg/L and above produced some negative effects on cyanobacteria and algae (diatoms) in soil cultures. TDTMA at a concentration 100 mg/L produced some negative effects on all organisms tested in the soil cultures. TDTMA at a concentration 100 mg/L decreased the number of cells per 1 g of soil; the decrease was observed for cyanobacteria, green algae, and diatoms. The experiments revealed the higher sensitivity of the test with the aquatic algal cultures.

Some basic elements of a new theory for the biological mechanism for water self-purification are presented. Hydrobionts (aquatic organisms) are actively involved in various processes leading to water purification. Not only microorganisms (bacteria, cyanobacteria and fungi), but also algae, plants, invertebrates, and many other groups of organisms are involved, which is discussed and analyzed in the paper. Results of the author's experiments that study the effects of various pollutants on aquatic organisms (freshwater and marine bivalves) are given.

Ostroumov S.A. Towards the general theory of ecosystem-depended control of water quality. - Ecologica, 2009, vol. 16, No. 54, p. 25-32. A new set of ecological generalizations formulated in this paper represent, in a systematized form, the basic elements of the qualitative theory of biotic control of water quality and water self-purification in freshwater and marine ecosystems. The theory contributes to a better understanding of the issues of stability and regulation in the biosphere. The theory is supported by the results of the author’s experimental studies of the effects exerted by surfactants, detergents and other pollutants on aquatic organisms. http://sites.google.com/site/9enecologica16p25theory/ FULL TEXTS OF SOME OF THE PUBLICATIONS see at: http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/299_Inhibitory_Analysis_A_new_method_for_analyzing_interactions_between_organisms_in_ecosystems; https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sergei_Ostroumov/blog/347_Biodiversity_and_stability_of_ecosystems; http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/276_New_threat_to_water_quality_discovery_of_the_new_important_type_of_hazards_from_pollution_Synecological_summation_of_effects_on_different_trophic_levels; http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/255_Criteria_of_ecological_hazards_due_to_anthropogenic_effects_on_the_biota_Searching_for_a_system; http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/262__The_Concept_of_Aquatic_Biota_as_a_Labile_and_Vulnerable_Component_of_the_Water_SelfPurification_System; http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/241_innovative_concept_of_ecosystem_as_a_multifunctional_bioreactor_one_of_its_functions_is_upgrading_water_quality_ecosystem_service; http://blog.researchgate.net/masterblog/180_A_new_type_of_effect_of_potentially_hazardous_substances http://sites.google.com/site/2000dbs371p204criteria/ http://sites.google.com/site/2000dbs373p397biocatallstag/ http://sites.google.com/site/2000dbs374p514bioreactor/ http://sites.google.com/site/2001dbs379p378pellets/ http://sites.google.com/site/2001dbs377p139inhibitory/ http://sites.google.com/site/2001dbs378p248effammaroyst/ http://sites.google.com/site/2001dbs380p499synerg/ http://sites.google.com/site/2001dbs380p492unio/ http://sites.google.com/site/2dbs382p18biodivers/; http://sites.google.com/site/bioeffectsofsurfactants/ http://sites.google.com/site/surfactantinhibitfilterfeed02/ http://sites.google.com/site/3surfactantsfiltrationmytilus/ http://sites.google.com/site/9dbs444/; https://www.researchgate.net/file.FileLoader.html?key=8fd8998627b86102db72c9b237c25054; http://scipeople.com/uploads/materials/4389/Danbio6_2001v381n5.E.eutrophication.pdf; https://www.researchgate.net/file.FileLoader.html?key=d988acb599e121964c48114374a87e8d; https://www.researchgate.net/file.FileLoader.html?key=888352078b275ef40a430eb5b4d7714c; https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sergei_Ostroumov/blog/359_How_to_establish_a_new_type_of_reserves_to_protect_aquatic_biodiversity_and_ecosystem_services; https://www.researchgate.net/file.FileLoader.html?key=997c8c86899d5a6e24531054ad1bcd1e; ADDITIONAL REFERENCES OF RELEVANT PUBLICATIONS see: http://sites.google.com/site/ostroumovsergei/ http://sites.google.com/site/bioticupgradewaterquality2008/ http://sites.google.com/site/ostroumovsa/ http://sites.google.com/site/biochemicalecology/ http://sites.google.com/site/ostroumovsapublicationsineng/ http://sites.google.com/site/ostroumovsapublicationsruen/ http://sites.google.com/site/ostroumovsergei/publications-that-cited-saostroumov http://sites.google.com/site/biosphereostroumov/home http://sites.google.com/site/ecologytobemostcitedtomorrow/home http://sites.google.com/site/ecologytobemostcitedtomorrow/list-of-publications-by-sa-ostroumov http://scipeople.ru/users/2943391/ https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sergei_Ostroumov/blog/321_Discovery_of_the_system_where_chemical_pollution_could_impair_the_regulation_and_balance_in_the_abundance_of_phytoplankton_threat_to_ecological_stability_ ; KEYWORDS: Ecology, environmental sciences; biospheric sciences; aquatic sciences; created a new discipline, biochemical ecology; biossay, ecobiotechnology, phytotechnology, phytoremediation; ecotoxicology, phytotoxicity; also, see my publications; Extended list of key words: self-purification, water quality, water bodies, reservoirs, streams, contaminants, pollutants, ecotoxicology, freshwater, marine, environmental safety, environmental security, sources of water, xenobiotics, polyfunctional role of biota, water, ecosystem functioning, hydrosphere, community, sustainable use, resources, environmental management, human impact, potential for water purification, ecosystem’s services, biological theory, reliability, anthropogenic, man-made effects, environmental practices, the new experimental results, cadmium, mollusks, eutrophication, a new concept, a two-level synergies, environmental chemoregulators, environmental chemomediators, hazards, damage to biota, economic evaluation, damage by the anthropogenic impact, water protection regime, special protected areas, microorganisms, aquatic, macro-organisms, plants, invertebrates, analog of the bioreactor with the function of purifying water, nutrients, control of phytoplankton, consumers, trophic level, intraspecific interactions of organisms, pheromones, regulators, interspecific interactions, V.I.
