Effects of various oils on survival ofMyzus persicaeSulzer and its transmission of cucumber mosaic virus on pepper

Green peach aphid [Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae)] control using Brassicaceae ethyl ester oil sprays

“…Another benefit of mineral‐oil application is the potential control of virus transmission through impacts the oil has on insect vectors (Martin et al. ; Ameline et al. ; Martoub et al.…”

Acetylated glyceride: A novel repellent which interferes with tomato yellow leaf curl virus acquisition and its transmission by Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)

“…A treatment with olive oil, which also has a repellent effect on B. tabaci adults, was reported to suppress the TYLCV infection simply by reducing the number of settled adults (Schuster et al, 2009). Mineral oil is also effective in reducing the spread of non-persistent viruses that are transmitted by aphids (Asjes, 1991;Bradley et al, 1962;Loebenstein et al, 1964; , 2004;Wang and Pirone, 1996). Based on the high reduction of honeydew excreta in the acetylated glyceride treatment, a major mechanism for suppression might be interference with adult feeding behavior.…”

Vegetable oil formulation as biopesticide to control California red scale (Aonidiella aurantii Maskell)

“…Nevertheless, taking into account that vegetable oil is more environmental friendly than mineral oil, a "formulation" made with vegetable oil should be chosen (Martín et al 2004(Martín et al , 2005United Soybean Board 2006). In plant defence, the possibility of substituting mineral oils with a vegetable oil seems real and did not pose any practical problem that could not be overcome by a simple formulation.…”

“…Mineral oils, even if allowed in organic farming for treatment on wood parts of the plant, present clear environmental problems, linked moreover to their very low biodegradability (Cook et al 2004;Martín et al 2004;United Soybean Board 2006). This paper describes the insecticidal activity of vegetable oils either alone and/or in combination with natural products such as Brassica meal, as an alternative to conventional pesticides.…”
