“…Their results (mortality between 96% and 100% for all species at a 125 mg/L concentration EO) suggested the potential of EOs for controlling the larvae of dangerous mosquito species. The insecticidal effect of different EOs was tested in the same year by several groups against the booklice (L. bostrychophila) [36][37][38] and against stored products pests (Sitophilus granarius, Tribolium castaneum) [39,40], with good results (more details provided in Table 1).…”

Abstract The overuse of synthetic pesticide, a consequence of the rush to increase crop production, led to tremendous adverse effects, as they constitute a major pollutant for both soils and water, with a high toxicity towards humans and animals and, at the same time, led to development of pest resistance. In the last period, the researches were directed towards finding new solutions with a lower toxicity, less damaging behaviour towards the environment, and a better specificity of action. In this context, the use of essential oils, a complex and unique mixture of compounds, can be considered for the next-generation pesticides. This review aims to present the main applications of the essential oils as insecticides, herbicides, acaricides, and nematicides, as they emerged from the scientific literature published in the last 5 years (2015 to present). From the identified articles within the time period, only those dealing with essential oils obtained by the authors (not commercially available) were selected to be inserted in the review, characterized using established analytical techniques and employed for the envisaged applications. The review is concluded with a chapter containing the main conclusions of the literature study and the future perspectives, regarding the application of essential oils as next-generation pesticides.

“…However, myrcene is one of the major components of Pistacia atlantica ssp. kurdica EO, which has insecticidal activity against several species of Tribolium beetles when used as a fumigant [32]. Therefore, if myrcene were found to be toxic to T. molitor larvae (as well as other compounds with similar properties, i.e., limonene, γ-terpinene), it could be a promising agent for pest control purposes, as a toxic compound that does not cause avoidance reactions can be effective at low concentrations.…”

Beetle Tenebrio molitor L. (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) is a well-known pest of grain and flour in food stores and grocery shops. Recently, commercial cultivation of the insect was started for human food and animal feed. Behaviour control of this insect using natural repellents is promising both for grain protection and commercial cultivation. We analysed if natural products of plant origin, namely essential oils (EOs), could be used for this purpose. Behavioural tests were performed using EOs of six plants: thymus (Thymus vulgaris), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus), spearmint (Mentha spicata), lavandin (Lavandula × hybrida), East-Indian lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus), and clove (Eugenia caryophyllus). The most effective repellent for mealworm larvae was EO of spearmint, moderate activity showed that of clove and the least repellent were EOs of lemongrass thymus and lavandin. EO of eucalyptus caused almost no or very low effect. Six of the most abundant compounds of the EOs were selected for testing. The most effective single compounds were terpinene-4-ol and carvone, low-effective cis-sabinene hydrates and those of no significant activity were limonene, myrcene and γ-terpinene.

“…Furthermore, α-terpineol is highly toxic to T. confusum as a fumigant ( Sener et al, 2009 andGovindarajan et al, 2016). While the fumigant toxicity of δ-Cadinene α-pinene and βpinene against the insect's Culex quinquefasciatus, Aedes aegypti, and Anopheles stephensi is high, (Lee et al, 2001 andDhifi et al, 2016;Sadeghi et al, 2016).…”

The current field study focused on new green technology, a new technique that attracts and kills Lepidoptera moths, which induced more damage to crops, by making a "formulations" mixture of essential oils extracted from medical and aromatic plants that used to attract and kill lepidopteran moths, especially females. Microliter of basil oil (Ocimum basilicum Linn.), coriander oil (Coriandrum sativum L.), cumin oil (Cuminum cyminum L.), and chamomile oil (Matricaria chamomilla L.). The mixture of four essential oils was mixed at a rate of 50µl of each oil, then placed in the transparent capsule, then placed into a pheromone trap of cotton leafworm (Spodoptera littoralis). The field study was carried out during the 2017 season in the Giza governorate. The observed results in Sep 2017 were a high number of moths on the treated trap camper compared to the control. Also, the studied combination attracted a kind of vital enemies from spiders to butterflies. Subsequently, increased the efficiency of sexual pheromone traps to catch more moths, also this invention was safer and protectant our environmental form populations. The patent number 30513 was granted in the year 2021.
