“…More than 500 species of the stored grains and cereal products are often infested by more than 600 species of coleopterans [ 1 ] causing 20–30% loss, affecting nutritional value and germination [ 2 ]. Bruchids, Callosobruchus chinensis and C. maculatus (Coleoptera: Bruchidae), are primary pests of pulses and cause 50% loss in storage after three to four months [ 3 , 4 ].

Pulse beetle is the major pests of pulses that cause significant loss to grains leads to unfit for consumption and marketing. Indiscriminate use of synthetic pesticides for the control of pulse beetle (Callosobruchus chinensis and Callosobruchus maculatus) led to insect resistance, pesticide residues on grains which affect consumer’s health and environment. Essential oils (EOs) are good alternatives to synthetics due to their safety to the environment and consumers’ health. The main objective of the present study was to explore the chemical composition, fumigant, repellency, ovipositional deterrence, persistence, and detoxification enzyme inhibition of Artemisia maritima essential oil against pulse beetle. Results showed that primary components of the EO were 1,8-Cineole and bornyl acetate. EO showed promising fumigant toxicity to C. chinensis and C. maculatus (LC50 = 1.17 and 0.56 mg/L, respectively) after 48 h. In the repellent assay, EO at 20 mg/L showed 92–96% repellence after 1 h. In ovipositional deterrence assay, EO showed more ovipositional deterrence against C. chinensis (OD50 = 3.30 mg/L) than C. maculatus (OD50 = 4.01 mg/L). Higher concentrations of oil (8 and 6 mg/L) in C. maculatus showed significant inhibition of the glutathione-S-transferase enzyme (7.14 and 5.61 n mol/min/mL, respectively).

“…Several plant-derived essential oils of Acorus calamus, Aegle marmelos, Cedrus deodara, Mentha piperita, Mentha spicata, Murraya koenigii, and Tagetus minuta were reported to have insecticidal activities against various insect pests in previous studies (Reddy et al, 2016;Jayaram et al, 2022a). Additionally, the homogeneous or heterogeneous blends of essential oils also revealed that the insecticidal activities against various species of mealybugs, including Pseudococcus calceolariae (Tacoli et al, 2018), Planococcus citri (Cloyd et al, 2009;Erdemir and Erler, 2017), Planococcus ficus (Karamaouna et al, 2013;Peschiutta et al, 2017;Tacoli et al, 2018;Brahmi et al, 2022), Pseudococcus longispinus (Hollingsworth and Hamnett, 2009;Tacoli et al, 2018), Paracoccus marginatus (Mwanauta et al, 2021), Planococcus minor (Prabowo and Damaiyani, 2019), Phenacoccus solenopsis (Mostafa et al, 2018;Saad et al, 2021), and Pseudococcus viburni (Ramzi et al, 2017) have been reported earlier.…”

Toxicity and synergistic activity of compounds from essential oils and their effect on detoxification enzymes against Planococcus lilacinus

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Mealybug, Planococcus lilacinus Cockerell, is a primary surface-feeding insect pest of fruit and flowering plants and also transmits plant viruses, resulting in economic crop loss. Inappropriate and recurrent use of pesticides for mealybug control results in resistance building and deleterious effects on humans and the environment. Essential oils are the most excellent choice for insecticides. Insecticidal activities of pure compounds of essential oils against P. lilacinus are not reported. The present study aims to study the insecticidal activities of some pure active compounds and their binary mixture’s action by topical application against P. lilacinus. Results showed that the pure compounds of L-limonene, β-myrcene, and ocimene revealed toxicity (each at LD50 = 0.37 µg/insect) after 96 h. The binary mixtures of geraniol + L-menthol and L-limonene + geraniol exhibited synergistic effects (each at LD50 = 0.03 µg/insect) after 96 h. The monoterpenes of ocimene and β-myrcene at the higher concentration of 5,000 ppm substantially inhibited the detoxification enzyme activities of AChE (0.93 and 0.78 mU/mg, respectively) and GST (2.19 and 7.29 nmol/min/ml, respectively) in P. lilacinus after 48 h. SEM analysis reported the significant anomalies on the morphology of abdominal cuticle, setae, and thoracic leg after 96-h treatment with ocimene at 1,250 ppm against P. lilacinus. Based on the results, the tested pure compounds and their combinations can be suggested for the control of mealybugs.

The botanical insecticides market is growing because of limitations placed on the use of certain synthetic chemical insecticides. Consequently, this study explored the following hypotheses: i) essential oils (EOs) derived from Mentha spp. are toxic to Alphitobius diaperius (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), a common poultry pest; ii) these EOs are compatible with Beauveria bassiana, the natural enemy of the poultry pest, that parasite A. diaperinus; iii) these EOs also exhibit activity against bacteria that are pathogenic to poultry. In topical applications and ingestion tests, EOs from Mentha arvensis, Mentha spicata, and Mentha piperita were toxic to A. diaperinus. Chromatographic analyses revealed that menthol is the predominant compound in M. arvensis and M. piperita, whereas carvone is the major compound in M. spicata. Both (-)-and (+)-menthol, along with (-)-and (+)-carvone, underwent testing with A. diaperinus. Nevertheless, their activity was not as potent as that of the EOs, suggesting a possible synergistic and/or additive effect. The EOs did not have any adverse effects on the conidial germination, vegetative growth, or conidia production per colony of the entomopathogenic fungus B. bassiana. Consequently, these EOs are compatible with this natural enemy. The EO extracted from M. spicata exhibited signi cant toxicity against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), whereas the remaining EOs displayed moderate toxicity against this bacterium. The EOs derived from Mentha spp., as assessed in this study, hold promise for the development of botanical insecticides tailored for the control of A. diaperinus. These insecticides are selective in favor of the natural enemy B. bassiana, and can also serve as effective sanitizers, thanks to their antibacterial properties.
