“…Different members of Curcuma species showed different activity based on the chemical components ( Sulhath et al, 2024 , Priya et al, 2012 , Naz et al, 2010 , Chane-Ming et al, 2002 ). Curcuma longa essential oil contains α-phellandrene, 2-carene, and eucalyptol, of which eucalyptol was a common component in both C. longa and C. angustifolia ( Visakh et al, 2023 ). The genotypic variances and environmental effects such as climate, collection time, soil composition, and extraction methods are the main causes of the discrepancies in oil yields and chemical composition ( Albaqami et al, 2022 ).…”

“…The temperature steadily increased, after which the range of spectra from 35 m / z to 500 m / z was scanned. Thereafter, the relative percentages of each chemical compound were estimated by calculating their peak area ( Visakh et al, 2023 ).…”

“…Biopesticide from the waste leaves of C. angustifolia also helps in the management of crop residues. Many research studies have been conducted on the essential oils extracted from other members of the Curcuma species, like C. longa, C. aromatica, and C. wenyujin ( Sulhath et al, 2024 , Visakh et al, 2023 , Sousa et al, 2021 , Zhang et al, 2017 , Sk et al, 2010 ). Thus, C. angustifolia is one such crop that has not been worked on by many scientists, making this current research stand out from others.…”

“…This study found ar -turmerone reduced larval weight and increased mortality of the cabbage looper which helped to stop the insect from feeding on agricultural crops. Other studies have used turmeric oils as a natural and effective insecticide to repel the grain borer pest Rhyzopertha dominica from feeding on agricultural crops (Visakh et al, 2023; Jilani & Saxena, 1990). These oils have been described as having insect repellent properties and have been used as an insecticide against other indoor pests including the acid flies Paederus fuscipes and the darkling beetles Luprops tristis (Vineesh et al, 2023).…”

Climate change poses a significant threat to food security and global public health with the increasing likelihood of insect pest outbreaks. Alternative ways to control insect populations, preferably using environmental-friendly compounds, are needed. Turmeric has been suggested as a natural insecticide with toxicity properties in some insect groups. However, empirical evidence of the effects turmeric - and their interaction with other ecological factors such as diet - on insect survival has been limited. Here, we tested the effects of turmeric and its interactions with diets differing in protein source in the common housefly, Musca domestica. We found that turmeric shortened lifespan independent of diet and sex. Females in turmeric diets were heavier at death, which was likely driven by a combination of relatively lower rates of body mass loss during their lifetime and a higher percentage of water content at death. Each sex responded differently to the protein source in the diet, and the magnitude of the difference in lifespan between sexes were greatest in diets in which protein source was hydrolysed yeast; individuals from both sexes lived longest in sucrose-milk diets and shortest in diets with hydrolysed yeast. There was no evidence of an interaction between turmeric and diet, suggesting that the toxicity effects are independent of protein source in the diet. Given the seemingly opposing effects of turmeric in insects and mammals being uncovered in the literature, our findings provide further evidence in support of turmeric as a potential natural insecticide.
