“…Thyme oil was unique among oils tested because it caused higher mortality of male flies than other oils, and it reduced the number of responding males and females to 56–65% and 75–81%, respectively, of that of flies responding in arenas with citronella, lavender, and rosemary (Trial 3). Thyme essential oil constituents, particularly the monoterpene thymol from the chemotype of Thymus vulgaris used in this experiment, have strong toxic effects on other insect pests, including southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (L.), nymphs and adults 49 , larval tobacco cutworm, Spodoptera litura Fab. 50 , and third-instar gall midge C. cortacalis (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) 47 .…”

Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is a globally invasive pest of soft-skinned fruit. Females oviposit into ripening fruit and larvae cause direct destruction of tissues. As many plant essential oils are permitted food additives, they may provide a safe means of protecting fruit from D. suzukii infestation in both conventional and organic production systems. Twelve oils and potassium metabisulfite (KMS) were screened in the laboratory as repellents for D. suzukii flies. Most essential oils deterred D. suzukii flies from cotton wicks containing attractive raspberry juice. Peppermint oil was particularly effective, preventing almost all flies from contacting treated wicks and remaining 100% repellent for 6 d post-application. Thyme oil was unique because it caused high male mortality and reduced the number of responding flies compared to other oils. KMS was not found to be repellent to D. suzukii, but may have fumigant properties, particularly at high concentrations. Peppermint oil appears to be the best candidate for field testing to determine the effectiveness and feasibility of using essential oils as part of a push-pull management strategy against D. suzukii. This is the first time that essential oils have been evaluated and proven effective in preventing fruit-infesting flies from contacting attractive stimuli.

“…Fumigant toxicity of the EOs against adults of P. interpunctella was investigated according to Werdin-González et al (2011). Briefly, each experimental unit consisted of a glass Petri dish (8.5 cm diameter x 1.9 high) containing 40 μL of the EOs on a micro coverglass, covered with a lid with a fine wire sieve.…”

Essential oils (EOs) have been recognized as an important source of biopesticides. This work investigated the chemical constituents and bioactivity of six essential oils namely lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.), peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), geranium (Geranium maculatum L.), palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii (Roxb.) Wats), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus Labill.) and bergamot (Citrus bergamia Risso) against adults of the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella, a cosmopolitan pest that infests a wide range of stored products. Analysis by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) revealed the presence of several compounds, mainly mono-and sesquiterpenes. The contact toxicity assay showed that the EO from palmarosa was the most toxic with a LD50 value of 22.8 µg cm-2. The toxicity order was palmarosa > geranium > peppermint > lavender > bergamot >eucalyptus. In fumigant toxicity assay, the greatest effect was found with the EO from eucalyptus with a KT50 value of 8.34 min. The toxicity order was eucalyptus > peppermint >geranium = lavender > bergamot > palmarosa. The EO from palmarosa showed the highest residual activity when the insects were exposure to its volatiles constituents. Finally, all EOs produce sublethal activity promoting effects in the fecundity. In conclusion, the EOs could be used as potential biopesticides for P. interpunctella control.

“…Essential oils (EOs) extracted from plants have different features, such as ovicidal, repellency, anti‐nutritional, sterilization, and toxic effects on insects (De Souza et al ). EOs are one of the appropriate candidates as an alternative to synthetic chemical compounds that have the lowest risk to the environment (Werdin González et al , ).…”

In this study, the opportunity to enhance the insecticidal activity of Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil was studied for effective management of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, as a stored product pest beetle. Nanoprecipitation method was used to prepare rosemary oil-loaded nanocapsules. Bioassays were conducted at 27-30°C temperature and 70-75 % relative humidity in the dark. Fumigant toxicity of the non-formulated oil and nanocapsules of R. officinalis were investigated at 13.20, 15.92, 19.12, 23.04, and 27.76 μL/L air after 24 and 72 h exposure and the contact toxicity of the non-formulated oil and nanocapsules were investigated at 4.28, 3.55, 2.95, 2.45 and 2.36 μL/cm 2 after 24 h exposure. The major constituents of the essential oil of rosemary were α-Pinene, 1,8-cineol, camphor, and cis-verbenone. Nanocapsules presented an average size (145 AE 15 nm) (AE standard error [SE]) with a polydispersity index below 0.3, a negative zeta potential (À11.0 AE 0.5 mV), and a high encapsulation efficiency (78.20 AE 0.93 %). Scanning electron microscope photomicrograph of rosemary oil-loaded nanocapsules showed the presence of spherical nanocapsules with regular and homogeneous surfaces. In fumigant and contact toxicity, there were significant differences between non-formulated and rosemary oil-loaded nanocapsules in all the concentrations and times. The results suggested that nanoencapsulated essential oils from R. officinalis can be used for effective control in T. castaneum. When this technique is used, it can produce pesticides that have controlled-release properties and reduce the concentration of the applied doses and number of applications.
