Chemical composition and insecticidal activity of two Eucalyptus essential oils against the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Evaluation of the Essential Oils Used in the Production of Biopesticides: Assessing Their Toxicity toward Both Arthropod Target Species and Beneficial Pollinators

“…With E. campaspe Moore and E. torquata Luehm. oils, applied topically, the mortality of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) at 24 h was 92.5 and 70 µL/cm, respectively [124]; for Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae), essential oil nanocapsules from E. globulus exhibited significantly higher toxicity, with an LC 50 of 19.030 µL/L, compared to the contact toxicity of pure oil (LC 50 of 3.770 µL/L) [125].…”

Green synthesis of Eucalyptus globulus zinc nanoparticles and its use in antimicrobial insect repellent paint formulation in bulk industrial production

“…Maintaining a vital reputation as one of the international's quality trees, Eucalyptus globulus L. is commonly known as Tasmanian blue gum and has been reported to expose insecticidal hobby through the approach called nano-encapsulation. Nano-pills organized from their extract have been favored over chemical insecticides as they overcome the impact of toxicity and pollution in comparison to the latter [ 26 , 27 ]. The present study intends to use mosquito repellent from Eucalyptus globulus L. in coating.…”
