“…The activities reported in this study for β-pinene and α-pinene were also higher as compared with our data, whereas the activity of eucalyptol was similar in both works. Kostić et al (2007) observed a moderate activity of camphor against L. decemlineata adults and larvae comparable to our results. These differences among studies might be related to the potential developing resistance of L. decemlineata against certain compounds, as previously reported (Alyokhin et al, 2006;.…”

Essential oil terpenes are secondary metabolites produced in different biological pathways as pollinator attraction signals, but also as defense mechanisms against insect pests, herbivores, microorganisms, competing plants, etc. In this context, we have evaluated a total of 24 terpenes commonly found in Mediterranean aromatic plants, including 8 monoterpene hydrocarbons, 9 oxygenated monoterpenes, 2 esterified monoterpenes, 3 sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and 2 oxygenated sesquiterpenes in order to determine their antifeedant effects on the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say), a major pest of potato crops. Terpene hydrocarbons showed low antifeedant activity, whereas the oxygenated sesquiterpene (-)-α-bisabolol with an inhibition activity of 96.3% was the most active, followed by carvacrol (90.9%), (+)-Terpinen-4-ol (87.1%) and thymol (81.5%). Other terpenes like (1S)-(-)-verbenone (72.9%), (+/-)-camphor (63.4%) and linalyl acetate (60.7%) showed moderate activity. Subsequently, terpenes showing antifeedant activity against this insect were also tested in allelopathic assays to determine potential damage to the crops. Results showed phytotoxic effects for (1S)-(-)-verbenone on Lactuca sativa germination, and for carvacrol on both the seed germination and the leaf and root growth of Lolium perenne. In conclusion, (-)-α-bisabolol is the best option to develop natural antifeedant formulations against L. decemlineata on the basis of its high antifeedant and low phytotoxic activities.

“…Some results also suggest that toxicity of essential oils, at least to lepidopteran larvae, is a consequence of the combined effects of several constituents with no individual compound making a major contribution (Isman et al., 2008). Apparently, such compounds from essential oils, which do not occur in host plants, can be used to manipulate the behavior of insect pests (Binder & Robbins, 1997; Grant et al., 2000; Momen et al., 2001; Liu et al., 2006; Kostic et al., 2007; Waliwitiya et al., 2009) and subsequently for biopesticide development. During the last decade or so, there has been an emphasis on the behavioral responses of insects to essential oils.…”

Eight essential oil compounds were evaluated against the maize borer, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), to determine their influence on oviposition and feeding behavior. Thymol was the most active compound against C. partellus when evaluated as an oviposition deterrent (ODI50 = 1.36 mg ml−1), an ovicide (LC50 = 2.06 mg ml−1), or a feeding deterrent (FI50 = 141.8 μg cm−2) in laboratory experiments. The results corroborated with greenhouse experiments, in which egg laying on maize plants was inhibited significantly when the treatment was 15 times the concentration used in the laboratory experiments. However, there was neither any correlation between oviposition deterrence and feeding inhibition, nor between oviposition deterrence and ovicidal action. Apparently, toxicity per se or ovicidal action does not play any role in choice of oviposition in C. partellus. This was more obvious when the efficacy of compounds was compared in greenhouse experiments where ODI values and number of eggs laid on the treated leaves did not differ significantly in choice and no‐choice situations. Apparently, toxicity plays an important role in predicting host plant choice, but behavioral response in terms of oviposition preference is independent of toxic action, particularly for non‐host toxins. Thus, the same compounds affecting oviposition behavior on the one hand and having ovicidal or feeding deterrent properties on the other could be useful in field situations in any area‐wide integrated pest management model.

“…Members of the genera Pseudomonas and Nocardia are the most prominent organisms utilizing hydrophobic residues (Chosson et al, 1991;Rabenhorst, 1996;Genovese et al, 2008;Solyanikova et al, 2008;Marostica and Pastore, 2009;Mukherjee et al, 2010). At least six species of Pseudomonas were shown to degrade α-pinene, a common constituent of volatile oils (Crowe et al, 2007;Kostic et al, 2007;Chen et al, 2009).…”

The influence of three aromatic plant species, laurel (Laurus nobilis L.), myrtle (Myrtus communis L.), and French lavender (Lavandula stoechas L.), on top soil microbial biomass, respiration rates, and bacterial colonies was investigated. Fresh, mature plant material was introduced into a typical Mediterranean habitat in Northern Greece. The essential oil chemical compositions from the aromatics used in the study were evaluated by GC-MS analysis. The major compounds constituting L. nobilis essential oil were 1,8-cineole (48.1%), eugenol (12.3%), and α-pinene (6.0%); M. communis oil consisted of α-pinene (31.2%), myrtenyl acetate (19.3%), and 1,8-cineole (16.1%); and L. stoechas consisted of fenchone (46.7%), camphor (9.9%), and 1,8-cineole (9.0%). L. nobilis presented the highest inhibition against bacterial colonies (44.9%) and lowered soil respiration and microbial biomass when compared to control soils. In contrast, M. comunnis and L. stoechas were found to augment bacterial activity by 85.9% and 63.8%, respectively, and to increase soil respiration (1.5-fold) and microbial biomass (2.5-fold) compared to control soil samples. These two plants are proposed for further investigations in biodegradation programs.
