“…Previous research on the pesticidal plant species used for pest control in this study all have reported bioactivities against insects, parasites, bacteria and fungi (Ganjian et al, 1983 ; Jisaka et al, 1992 ; Lina et al, 1992 ; Pereira et al, 1997 ; Gu et al, 2002 ; Rabe et al, 2002 ; Ogendo et al, 2003 ; Adedire and Akinneye, 2004 ; Boeke et al, 2004 ; Omolo et al, 2004 ; Kawuki et al, 2005 ; Koona and Dorn, 2005 ; Viljoen et al, 2005 ; Koona et al, 2007 ; Ambrósio et al, 2008 ; Asawalam et al, 2008 ; Mujovo et al, 2008 ; Oyewole et al, 2008 ; Bagnarello et al, 2009 ; Chukwujekwu et al, 2009 ; Deng, 2009 ; Gadzirayi et al, 2009 ; Koul and Walia, 2009 ; Madzimure et al, 2011 ; Tesch et al, 2011 ; Chagas-Paula et al, 2012 ; Bartolome et al, 2013 ; Ellse and Wall, 2013 ; Nhamo et al, 2013 ; Utono et al, 2014 ; Green et al, 2017 ; Kamanula et al, 2017 ); however, none of these works have investigated the effects of their application on field crop performance or tritrophic impact.

“…Like tagitinin A and C, the first two compounds are sesquiterpene lactones which have exhibited antimalarial, antibacterial and cytotoxic activities (Rabe et al, 2002 ; Chukwujekwu et al, 2009 ). The major bioactive components of L. camara are germacrene D, β-caryophyllene, a-phellandrene, limonene, and 1,8-cineole (Tesch et al, 2011 ). Bioactive constituents from B. pilosa include β-caryophyllene and τ-cadinene (Deba et al, 2008 ).…”

Pesticidal Plant Extracts Improve Yield and Reduce Insect Pests on Legume Crops Without Harming Beneficial Arthropods

In the fight against arthropod crop pests using plant secondary metabolites, most research has focussed on the identification of bioactive molecules. Several hundred candidate plant species and compounds are now known to have pesticidal properties against a range of arthropod pest species. Despite this growing body of research, few natural products are commercialized for pest management whilst on-farm use of existing botanically-based pesticides remains a small, but growing, component of crop protection practice. Uptake of natural pesticides is at least partly constrained by limited data on the trade-offs of their use on farm. The research presented here assessed the potential trade-offs of using pesticidal plant extracts on legume crop yields and the regulating ecosystem services of natural pests enemies. The application of six established pesticidal plants (Bidens pilosa, Lantana camara, Lippia javanica, Tephrosia vogelii, Tithonia diversifolia, and Vernonia amygdalina) were compared to positive and negative controls for their impact on yields of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), and pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) crops and the abundance of key indicator pest and predatory arthropod species. Analysis of field trials showed that pesticidal plant treatments often resulted in crop yields that were comparable to the use of a synthetic pesticide (lambda-cyhalothrin). The best-performing plant species were T. vogelii, T. diversifolia, and L. javanica. The abundance of pests was very low when using the synthetic pesticide, whilst the plant extracts generally had a higher number of pests than the synthetic but lower numbers than observed on the negative controls. Beneficial arthropod numbers were low with synthetic treated crops, whereas the pesticidal plant treatments appeared to have little effect on beneficials when compared to the negative controls. The outcomes of this research suggest that using extracts of pesticidal plants to control pests can be as effective as synthetic insecticides in terms of crop yields while tritrophic effects were reduced, conserving the non-target arthropods that provide important ecosystem services such as pollination and pest regulation. Thus managing crop pests using plant secondary metabolites can be more easily integrated in to agro-ecologically sustainable crop production systems.

“…As these species clearly grow over a range of habitats and are fast growing, prospects to grow and harvest plant material for the development of botanical pesticide products should be relatively easy to develop. The extent of knowledge on the phytochemistry of the species does vary, with T. vogelii the best studied in terms of knowledge about the chemistry and temporal variations (Belmain et al, 2012;Stevenson et al, 2012); however, phytochemical information is available for all the other species (Adeniyi et al, 2010;Ambrósio et al, 2008;Asawalam et al, 2008;Bartolome et al, 2013;Deba et al, 2008;Ganjian et al, 1983;Green et al, this issue;Gu et al, 2002;Khan et al, 2016;Mkenda et al, 2015;Mujovo et al, 2008;Pereira et al, 1997;Stevenson et al, 2012;Tesch et al, 2011;Viljoen et al, 2005). Producing any of these species as a non-food cash crop would need further evaluation to ensure elite materials were propagated and to fully understand their phytochemistry (Singh, 2014).…”

Plants with pesticidal properties have been investigated for decades as alternatives to synthetics, but only a handful have been commercialised and developed as non-food cash crops. One of the reasons why pesticidal plants are failing to deliver new pesticidal products is that they are often not evaluated under field conditions by farmers. Furthermore, many aspects of pesticide use related to environmental safety, such as their impact on beneficial organisms, remain under-evaluated. With a view to overcoming these bottlenecks, extracts made from six abundant weed species found across sub-Saharan Africa (Bidens pilosa, Lantana camara, Lippia javanica, Tithonia diversifolia, Tephrosia vogelii and Vernonia amygdalina) were evaluated in on-station and on-farm trials over two years (2015 and 2016) in two different countries (Tanzania and Malawi) on common bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris). All plant species offered effective control of key pest species that was comparable in terms of harvested bean yield to a synthetic pyrethroid. Furthermore, the plant pesticide treatments had significantly lower negative effects on natural enemies (hover flies, lacewings, ladybird beetles and spiders). Thus, pesticidal plants were better able to support ecosystem services whilst effectively managing pests. Small holder farmer rankings on the perceived efficacy of the different plant species indicated that T. vogelii was the most preferred and effective, achieving bean yields as good as the synthetic, if not better. As T. vogelii is fast growing with a well-known and understood phytochemistry, it is an excellent candidate for commercial development to supplement pyrethrum production by African small holder farmers.

“…A survey of the literature indicates that there is a great deal of diversity in the composition of the essential oils of L. camara growing in different localities, and several chemotypes have been described, including a sabinene/cineole/ β ‐caryophyllene chemotype from Nigeria and Iran ; β ‐caryophyllene/ γ ‐muurolene/bicyclogermacrene from Costa Rica ; germacrene D (15.9%), β ‐caryophyllene (12.4%), α ‐humulene (9.3%) from China ; β ‐caryophyllene (34.6%), caryophyllene oxide (10.8%) from Algeria ; β ‐caryophyllene (9.8%), 1,8‐cineole (9.4%), and β ‐pinene (8.2%) from Egypt ; davanone (23.5%), β ‐caryophyllene (11.7%)/sabinene or davanone (15%)/ β ‐caryophyllene (12%) from Madagascar ; β ‐caryophyllene (23.3%), α ‐humulene (11.5%), germacrene D (10.9%) or davanone/ β ‐caryophyllene/bicyclogermacrene from India ; ( E )‐nerolidol (43.4%), δ ‐cadinene (7.6%), from Cuba ; germacrene D (31.0%) and β ‐caryophyllene (14.8%) from Venezuela ; and bicyclogermacrene (19.4%), isocaryophyllene (16.7%), valencene (12.9%), and germacrene D (12.3%) from Brazil .

The aerial parts of Lantana camara L. were collected from three different geographical locations: Artemisa (Cuba), Biratnagar (Nepal), and Sana'a (Yemen). The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. A cluster analysis of 39 L. camara essential oil compositions revealed eight major chemotypes: β-caryophyllene, germacrene D, ar-curcumene/zingiberene, γ-curcumen-15-al/epi-β-bisabolol, (E)-nerolidol, davanone, eugenol/alloaromadendrene, and carvone. The sample from Cuba falls into the group dominated by (E)-nerolidol, the sample from Nepal is a davanone chemotype, and the sample from Yemen belongs to the β-caryophyllene chemotype. The chemical composition of L. camara oil plays a role in the biological activity; the β-caryophyllene and (E)-nerolidol chemotypes showed antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities.
