“…To evaluate the fumigant toxicity effects of EOs extracted from N. cataria, N. pogonosperma, N. glomerulosa and N. binaloudensisa against adult rice weevil, the EOs with volumes of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 μL were dissolved in 1 mL acetone to obtain dosages of 71.5,143, 214, 286, 357and 428.5 μL/L of air, respectively (Khani et al 2017). Treatments and acetone as control were applied on Whatman filter papers that were 2 cm in diameter.…”

“…Treatments and acetone as control were applied on Whatman filter papers that were 2 cm in diameter. When the applied solvent evaporated in 15 m, the treated filter papers were attached inside screw caps of 70ml glass vials (Khani et al 2017) with rice grains, then were followed by releasing 15 adults insects. The caps were tightly screwed on and the vials were sealed with parafilm.…”

Amini S, Nohooji MG, Khani M, Labbafi MR, Khalighi-Sigaroodi f. 2019. Biological activity of some essential oil constituents in four Nepeta L. species against Sitophilus oryzae L.. Biodiversitas 20: 338-343. Recently, there has been a growing interest in research concerning the possible use of plant extracts as alternatives to synthetic insecticides. Essential oils are among the best-known natural substances with insecticidal properties. These compounds may act as fumigants, contact insecticides, repellents, antifeedants and may affect growth and development of the insects. In an attempt to find a natural and inexpensive method for the control of stored-product pests, contact toxicity of essential oils of Nepeta cataria, Nepeta pogonosperma, Nepeta glomerulosa. and Nepeta binaloudensis. were investigated on adult insects of Sitophilus oryzae L. (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) in vitro condition. Chemical Composition, repellency and fumigant toxicity of the essential oils were investigated. Chemical composition of the essential oils of above plants were identified by GC-MS. 4aα,7α,7aβ-nepetalactone (82.74 %) was major component of N. cataria and also different isomers of nepetalactone were among the major compounds in N. Pogonosperma and N. binaloudensis oils. In fumigants bioassay, N. glomerulosa (124.318μL/L air) showed the highest toxicity against S. oryzae adults, followed by N.pogonosperma (150.49μL/L air) and N. cataria (152.630μL/L air), respectively. Also, the S. oryzae was repelled by N. cataria (91.61%) and N. binaloudensis (91.50 %), respectively.

“…The toxicity of the MPEO, tested in this experiment, in comparison with its main compounds, namely menthone and menthol, was comparable each time [101]. To the contrary, in other laboratory research [102], an antifeeding deterrence effect (85%) of MPEO over its fumigant toxicity (ED 50 0.3 µL/mL air) and feeding inhibitory effect against S. oryzae was proven. At the same time, the fumigant toxicity and repellence activity of MPEO turned to be, respectively, about four and five times less toxic than hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis L.) EO [102].…”

Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase activity, combined with an oxidative imbalance, is given as a potential mode of action of MPEO on S. oryzae [101].…”

This review article discusses the active constituents and potential of two menthol mint oils, Mentha piperita (MPEO) and Mentha arvensis (MAEO), as natural sources for botanical pesticides. The biological activities of these menthol mint oils, which can be useful in agriculture, have been broadly researched, especially toward phytotoxic microorganisms. To a lesser extent, the insecticidal and herbicidal activities of mint EOs have also been studied. It is apparent that the prospect of using menthol mint oils in agriculture is increasing in popularity. A number of investigations showed that the in vitro efficacy of MPEO and MAEO, as well as that of their main constituent, menthol, is pronounced. The results of in vitro research are useful for choosing EOs for further investigations. However, it is clear that in situ experiments are crucial and should be more extensively developed. At the same time, known techniques are to be applied to this area and new methods should be worked out, aiming at the improvement of EOs’ pesticidal efficacy and cost-effectiveness, for future implementation in agricultural pest control.
