Antifeedant Effects of Essential oil of Mentha longifolia subsp. longifolia L. HUDSON (Lamiaceae) on Subcoccinella vigintiquatuorpunctata L. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Abstract

Antifeedant activity of essential oils obtained from Mentha longifolia subsp. longifolia L. HUDSON (Lamiaceae) against S. vigintiquatuorpunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) adults that are collected from Ordu were tested in Turkey. In general, protection of plants against pests is performed using chemical insecticides, However the use of chemical insecticides on control of the insects creates serious risks on the ecosystem. Lately, scientists are focused on studies about using essential oils obtained from plants (phytochemicals) as alternatives to chemicals insecticides for pest control. Similarly essential oils obtained from M. longifolia subsp. longifolia L. was prepared in 5 different doses (312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 ppm). As a result, essential oils obtained from M. longifolia subsp. longifolia L. were seen to have strong antifeedant effects. It were determined positive correlation (r = 0.733, P < 0.005) between increasing concentrations of the essential oils obtained from Mentha longifolia L. and AFI indices. The AFI value reached a maximum at 5000 ppm. The AFI value for 5000 ppm is 71.88 ± 6.4. Additionally, chemical composition of essential oil of M. longifolia subsp. longifolia leaves were determined by GC-MS analysis. The main component of essential oil of M. longifolia subsp. longifolia was 2-Cyclohexen-1-one (39.58) and second one was p-Menthone (16.97%).

Nutritional Responses of the Black Cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon (Hufn.), Larvae under Toxicity Effects of Five Wild Botanical Extracts from Sinai, Egypt

“…There is a real variability in the chemical constitution of tested BOs collected from Egyptian plants if compared with the same species from other areas, depending on many differences including climate, geology, season, used part, vegetative cycle, geographical location, and the used method to extract the BO [29]. The main compounds obtained from an analysis of the BOs are similar to those of Salama et al [30] stated that Piperitenone, Cispipertone, and limonene were classified as the most valuable chemical [33], and Menthon and Piperiton components [34]. However, the classification of monoterpene piperitone as the principal compound in M. longifolia oil contrasts sharply with the other findings as the oil contained carvone or ciscarveol [35,36] as the main ingredient.…”

Chemical Composition and Biocontrol Activity of Different Essential Oils against Soil-Borne Fungal Pathogens

“…Components of the essential oil in M. longifolia were reported 34 components by Yıldırım et al (2019) , 38 components by Akkuş et al (2021) , 39 components by Bai et al (2020) , 26 components by Kaya (2014) , and 40 components by Okut et al (2017) . In the studies, the main components of M. longifolia were identified as piperitone oxide ( Golparvar et al, 2013 ; Kakhky et al, 2009 ; Yıldırım et al, 2019 ), piperitenone oxide ( Abedi et al, 2015 ; Golparvar et al, 2013 ; Kakhky et al, 2009 ; Mkaddem et al, 2009 ; Saeidi et al, 2012 ; Yıldırım et al, 2019 ), pulegone ( Abdel-Gwad et al, 2022 ; Abedi et al, 2015 ; Akkuş et al, 2021 ; Golparvar et al, 2013 ; Kakhky et al, 2009 ; Mahmoudi, 2014 ; Mkaddem et al, 2009 ; Okut et al, 2017 ; Saeidi et al, 2012 ), menthone ( Abdel-Gwad et al, 2022 ; Akkuş et al, 2021 ; Kakhky et al, 2009 ; Kaya, 2014 ; Okut et al, 2017 ; Saeidi et al, 2012 ; Yıldırım et al, 2019 ) and 1,8-cineole ( Abdel-Gwad et al, 2022 ; Abedi et al, 2015 ; Golparvar et al, 2013 ; Kakhky et al, 2009 ; Kaya, 2014 ; Mahmoudi, 2014 ; Mkaddem et al, 2009 ; Okut et al, 2017 ). In this study, piperitone oxide, piperitenone oxide, pulegone, and 1,8-cineole were similar to the main components.…”

“…The antifungal effect of essential oils has been connected with several compounds ( Kahramanoğlu et al, 2022 ; Nazzaro et al, 2017 ). Mentha, Achillea , and Artemisia are three important genus and it has been reported that these plants contain abundant antifungal compound content ( Bai et al, 2020 ; Barış et al, 2006 ; Okut et al, 2017 ; Sharopov et al, 2012 ; Vieira et al, 2017 ; Yıldırım et al, 2019 ). Components and amounts of essential oils are known to create remarkable variations depending on part of the plant, manufacturing process, climate, geographical region, and different locations ( Bailen et al, 2013 ; Kakhky et al, 2009 ; Özgüven and Kırıcı, 1999 ).…”

Antimicrobial, antioxidant and DNA protective effects and phenolic content of Lallementia canescens (L.) Fisch. C.A.Mey. and Lallementia peltata (L.) Fisch. C.A.Mey

“…The plants, mainly used as a source of food and medicine in the past, have been used as tea and spice in the present day [3]. The studies on this topic have revealed that the healing properties of plants stem from various components such as essential oils [36], phenolic substances and various antioxidants [1; 16]. It is known that these components are important in the regulation of cellular ROS, antimicrobial protection and in the fight against several diseases such as cancer [20].…”
