“…Nevertheless, d-limonene and some essential oils (for example mint) are used in the United States as flushing-out agents and for perimeter treatments as part of the strategies used for controlling cockroaches, ants and termites (Isman, 2010). The addition of repellents to the materials used in food packaging could prove to be an effective way of keeping insects away from products (Wong et al, 2005).…”

“…[28] and Iqbal [29]. However, there is a need for determination of more bio active plants for management of red flour beetle as identified by Wong [30]. This research was conducted to evaluate detrimental effects of neem seed powder (NSP) against red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst).…”

Fine Neem Seed Powder (NSP) was tested in three dozes, viz. 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0% (w/w) for determination of its toxicity and detrimental effects on life stages of red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum. Fifty gram treated and untreated (control) wheat was kept in glass jars and 10 pairs of the beetles were released in each. Mortality count was made after 72 hours. LD50 calculated as 1.841% NSP in wheat (w/w). NSP served as an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR). It was observed that at 0.5% dose, the number of larvae was not very different to control but the weight of larvae was lesser. At 1.0% dose, the number and weight of larvae were significantly reduced. At 2.0% dose, both the number and weight of larvae, pupae and adults were reduced remarkably. The insect growth inhibition was increased by increasing the dose of NSP.

“…Os óleos essenciais produzidos por C. nardus e C. citratus apresentam alto teor de geraniol e citronelal (Barbosa et al, 2008). O citronelal é utilizado como material básico para a síntese de importantes compostos químicos, denominados iononas, que são precursores e sintéticos para a obtenção de vitamina A. Esse óleo apresenta atividade repelente a insetos e ação fungicida e bactericida, além de ser utilizado na fabricação de perfumes e cosméticos (Trongtokit et al, 2005;Wong et al, 2005;Reis et al, 2006). O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência da adubação orgânica sobre o teor e a composição do óleo essencial do capim citronela (Cymbopogon nardus), bem como a fungitoxicidade desse óleo ao crescimento micelial dos fungos Didymella bryoniae, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides e Amphobotrys ricini.…”

Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência da adubação orgânica sobre o teor e a composição do óleo essencial de capim citronela (Cymbopogon nardus), bem como a fungitoxicidade desse óleo ao crescimento micelial dos fungos Didymella bryoniae, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides e Amphobotrys ricini. A extração do óleo essencial foi realizada por hidrodestilação, a partir de plantas cultivadas em quatro doses de adubação orgânica (0, 3, 6 e 9 kg de esterco bovino curtido por cova), e a identificação dos constituintes químicos foi conduzida por cromatografia gasosa/espectrometria de massas. Para avaliar a inibição do crescimento micelial, o experimento foi instalado no delineamento inteiramente casualizado, em arranjo fatorial. Foram testadas sete alíquotas do óleo essencial (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 e 30 µL), em cinco épocas de avaliação, com quatro repetições. O teor de óleo essencial do capim citronela não foi afetado pela adubação orgânica, e o óleo essencial do capim citronela apresentou 24 compostos químicos, entre estes monoterpenos e sesquiterpenos, com maior concentração dos compostos citronelal, β-citronelol, geraniol e elemol. O óleo essencial do capim citronela apresenta maior efeito de inibição a Amphobotrys ricini, em comparação aos fungos Didymella bryoniae e Colletotrichum gloeosporioides.Termos para indexação: Cymbopogon nardus, bioatividade, óleo essencial, plantas medicinais. Composition and fungitoxicity of essential oil of citronella grass as affected by organic fertilizationAbstract -The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of organic fertilization on the content and composition of the essential oil of citronella grass (Cymbopogon nardus), as well as to assess the fungitoxicity of this oil to the mycelial growth of the fungi Didymella bryoniae, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and Amphobotrys ricini. The extraction of the essential oil was done by hydrodistillation in plants cultivated with four doses of organic fertilizer (0, 3, 6, and 9 kg matured cattle manure per hole), and the identification of the chemical compounds was done by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy. To evaluate the inhibition of mycelial growth, the experiment was installed in a completely randomized design in a factorial arrangement. Seven aliquots of essential oil were tested (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 µL) in five evaluating times, with four replicates. The contents of the essencial oil in citronella grass were note affected by organic fertilization, and the oil includes 24 chemical compounds, among these monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, with higher concentrations of the compounds citronellal, β-citronellol, geraniol, and elemol. The essential oil of citronella grass has higher inhibition effect on Amphobotrys ricini, when compared to the fungi Didymella bryoniae e Colletotrichum gloeosporioides.
