<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;mso-ansi-language:TR;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language: AR-SA">In order to minimize the problems caused by synthetic chemical insecticides, the use of plant-based insecticides has become increasingly useful as an alternative. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of new formulations of two plant-based insecticides (developed to improve efficacy and duration of activity) on both the target pest and a non-target natural enemy. Specifically, this research investigated the use of classical and nano-formulated preparations of <i>Azadirachta indica</i> A. Juss (Meliaceae) (neem tree) and <i>Melaleuca alternifolia</i> (Maiden & Betche) Cheel (Myrtaceae) (tea tree) extracts against <i>Tetranychus urticae</i> Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae). In addition, the side effects of these formulations against the natural enemy, <i>Amblyseius swirskii</i> Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae), were investigated. The neem formulations were generally more effective against <i>T. urticae</i> than the tea tree formulations, which all contained equal amounts of bioactive ingredients. In general, the nano-formulations of both plant-based formulations were more effective than the classical formulations in terms of their biological efficacy and duration of activity. Separately, all of the plant-based insecticide formulations used in this research were in the toxic category for the natural enemy, <i>A. swirskii</i>.</span><br></p>
