“…In the last years, in order to inhibit some of the negative effects of the existent pesticides, a new approach had risen to the attention of the research community, that of the essential oil-based pesticides [10,11]. In previous studies, it has been proven that essential oils used as pesticides can be more advantageous, as their toxicity is much lower; they present a less damaging behaviour towards the environment and have a better specificity of action [12][13][14].…”

Abstract The overuse of synthetic pesticide, a consequence of the rush to increase crop production, led to tremendous adverse effects, as they constitute a major pollutant for both soils and water, with a high toxicity towards humans and animals and, at the same time, led to development of pest resistance. In the last period, the researches were directed towards finding new solutions with a lower toxicity, less damaging behaviour towards the environment, and a better specificity of action. In this context, the use of essential oils, a complex and unique mixture of compounds, can be considered for the next-generation pesticides. This review aims to present the main applications of the essential oils as insecticides, herbicides, acaricides, and nematicides, as they emerged from the scientific literature published in the last 5 years (2015 to present). From the identified articles within the time period, only those dealing with essential oils obtained by the authors (not commercially available) were selected to be inserted in the review, characterized using established analytical techniques and employed for the envisaged applications. The review is concluded with a chapter containing the main conclusions of the literature study and the future perspectives, regarding the application of essential oils as next-generation pesticides.

“…Some articles do not attribute precisely which terpenic substances are present in the composition of a plant, merely being described by the presence of "terpenes or terpenoids" in their chemical composition. More than half of the chemical composition data indicate that plants with significant volatile oil content may be a source of active substances used in the promotion of animal health, added to the fact that volatile components do not possess significant bioaccumulation or biomagnification, among other advantages (Amaral et al., 2017; Attia et al., 2013).…”

Alternatives to the use of conventional veterinary drugs in food‐producing animals have gained attention, such as the use of natural products (NPs), mainly to soften the risks to the animal, the environment, and consumer's health. Although NPs have consistent advantages over conventional drugs, they cannot be considered risk free under food safety matters. In this way, this document presents a comprehensive overview of the importance of considering both the pharmacological and toxicological properties of the constituents of a NP from plants intending the standardization and regulation of its use in food‐producing animals. Terpenes are the most diverse class of natural substances present in NP of vegetal origin with a broad range of biological activities that can be explored in veterinary science; however, certain plants and terpenes also have significant toxic effects, a fact that can harm the health of animals and consequently generate economic losses and risks for humans. In this context, this review gathered scientific data of vegetal species of importance to ethnoveterinary for food‐producing animals, which produce terpenes, its biological effects, and their implications on food safety issues for consumers. For this, more than 300 documents were selected from different online scientific databases. The present data and discussion may contribute to the rational commercial exploration of this class of NPs in veterinary medicine.

“…The injection of higher doses of ABA, a plant growth regulator, into the haemocoel of G. mellonella resulted in a reduction of fecundity (Er and Keskin, 2015). A remarkable inhibitory effect on the fecundity of Mexican mite Tetranychus mexicanus was recorded for Nerolidol (isolated from the essential oil of Derris floribunda roots) (Amaral et al, 2017). Results of the present study were in corroboration with the previously reported results because fecundity of S. littoralis was dramatically prohibited after treatment of the 5 th or 6 th instar larvae with Nerolidol, in a dose-dependent manner.…”

“…Nerolidol (3,7,6,10-dodecatrien-3-ol, Molecular Formula: C15H26O), also known as peruviol and penetrol, is one of the most important acyclic Sesquiterpenes. It is isolated from essential oils of various plant sources (Botelho et al, 2007;Pacifico et al, 2008;Silva, 2014;Amaral et al, 2017;Chaaban et al, 2018;Azzi et al, 2018;Negrini et al, 2019;Pavela et al, 2019). Chemically, Nerolidol exists in two isomers, a trans and a cis form, which differ in the geometry about the central double bond (Chan et al, 2016).…”

Although Egyptian cotton leafworm Spodoptera littoralis (Boisduval) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is native in Africa, it is distributed throughout the world. It is a serious polyphagous insect damaging more than 90 host plants of economic importance. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the disruptive impact of Nerolidol, a Sesquiterpene compound, on the most important parameters of adult performance and reproductive potential of this insect. The newly moulted larvae of 5 th (penultimate) or 6 th (last) instar larvae fed castor bean leaves previously treated with 7 concentrations of Nerolidol (400, 200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5 & 6.25 ppm) for 24 hr. The most important results could be summarized as follows. Nerolidol exhibited an adulticidal activity only at the higher concentrations. Nerolidol exerted an anti-morphogenic activity against adult moths since some malformed adults were produced at the higher concentrations. Regardless the treated larval instar, Nerolidol induced the successfully emerged adults to live remarkably shortened total longevity and oviposition period, but the pre-oviposition period was generally prolonged. Nerolidol exhibited an inhibitory effect on the oviposition efficiency since the oviposition rate was deleteriously regressed, in a dose-dependent course. Nerolidol caused a disturbance of the reproductive capacity since fecundity and fertility were dramatically prohibited. After larval treatment with Nerolidol, the successfully mated adult females laid eggs with a significantly prolonged incubation period, especially at the higher concentration levels.
