  abstract = {{I}n this experiment carried out on {C}aribbean chili pepper plants ({C}apsicum chinensis), the bio-insecticide azadirachtin in combination with an {NPK} fertilizer proved to have a greater lethal impact on the larvae of {A}edes albopictus than each substance on its own. {T}his synergistic effect is noticeably important when both inputs are sprayed directly on the leaves of the plant (foliar application). {W}hile the plants treated with azadirachtin or {NPK} alone cause a 33.6% and 36.4% mortality respectively of the {A}e. albopictus larvae, the combination of the two inputs induces a 74.4% mortality on the mosquito larvae. {T}o account for this synergistic effect phenomenon inside the plant, the azadirachtin + {NPK} combination most likely interacts with the capsaicinoid compounds naturally produced by the plant. {N}ot only does this study carried out on azadirachtin reveal major results but the methodology itself offers a most interesting approach on how to boost the agricultural inputs within the plants. {A}s a matter of fact, this research axis demands developing since the control of pests harmful to men has been dramatically lacking insecticide molecules acting on new targets over the past three decades.},
