Biopesticide Trunk Injection Into Apple Trees: A Proof of Concept for the Systemic Movement of Mint and Cinnamon Essential Oils

Abstract: The use of conventional pesticides is debated because of their multiple potential adverse effects on non-target organisms, human health, pest resistance development and environmental contaminations. In this setting, this study focused on developing alternatives, such as trunk-injected essential oil (EO)-based biopesticides. We analysed the ecophysiology of apple trees (Malus domestica) following the injection of Cinnamomum cassia and Mentha spicata nanoemulsions in the tree’s vascular system. Targeted and unta… Show more

“…Finally, regarding isoprenoids, α-farnesene production was acknowledged in response to SAR induction by Bion application. The same result was obtained following CEO injection into apple trees with a modification of VOC emission [81]. However Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS) and (E,E)-α-farnesene synthase (FAR) do not seem to be upregulated following CEO application.…”

“…'Tree Tech ® OTC' is an oxytetracycline calcium complex registered for use in crop-bearing peaches and pears for bacterial blast, blossom blight, and fire blight management, and X-disease of peaches; however, there are few other bactericides registered for injection in crop-bearing trees. Oxytetracycline Effective [136,161] Most recently, injection experiments have extended beyond fungicides, insecticides, and bactericides to include other compounds such as plant defense activators [114,161,174], RNA [28,175], plant growth regulators [176], nanoparticles [177][178][179], novel antimicrobial molecules [180], essential oils [181], biofertilizers [182], nutrients [183], nano-carrier treatments [97], and bacteria [157,[184][185][186]. However, none are currently used on a commercial basis.…”

“…This allowed the comparison of these RI to literature RI. Lastly, pure standards were in-jected for skatole (CAS n • 83-34-1, Sigma Aldrich) and androstenone (CAS n • 18339-16-7, Sigma Aldrich, Darmstadt, Germany) to ensure identification [37][38][39].…”
