“…However, although many studies highlighted toxicities of essential oils, lack of a common protocol or of major compounds description often prevent from reliable and univocal comparison. For example, in the study of Teke et al [49] the fennel essential oils applied on S. granarius contains 71.64% of estragol, which closely resembles the composition of the basil oil in our study (73.43% estragol). However, in their case they realized topical application without grain presence which is quite different that in our case.…”

The granary weevil Sitophilus granarius is a stored product pest found worldwide. Environmental damages, human health issues and the emergence of resistance are driving scientists to seeks alternatives to synthetic insecticides for its control. With low mammal toxicity and low persistence, essential oils are more and more being considered a potential alternative. In this study, we compare the toxicity of 25 essential oils, representing a large array of chemical compositions, on adult granary weevils. Bioassays indicated that Allium sativum was the most toxic essential oil, with the lowest calculated lethal concentration 90 (LC90) both after 24 h and 7 days. Gaultheria procumbens, Mentha arvensis and Eucalyptus dives oils appeared to have a good potential in terms of toxicity/cost ratio for further development of a plant-derived biocide. Low influence of exposure time was observed for most of essential oils. The methodology developed here offers the possibility to test a large array of essential oils in the same experimental bioassay and in a standardized way. It is a first step to the development of new biocide for alternative management strategies of stored product pests.

“…The mean repellency index showed that Cinnamon, Garlic and Basil oils had the highest repellent activity to the insect (80-100% repellency) and for 6 h postexposure, followed by Clove, Peppermint, Rosemary, and Orange oils. The difference in repellency of essential oils might be clarified with the insects' reactions to the compounds existing in the essential oils (Teke and Mutlu, 2020). The outstanding repellent activity of Cinnamon and Clove oils against S. granarius was also reported by Plata-Rueda et al (2018) and Yang et al, (2020) against S. zeamais.…”

“…Possible explanations include the rapid absorption to the surface of wheat grains, degradation of active compounds by the metabolic process of grains, or evaporation of active constituents. To solve these problems, a safe formulation of essential oils could be initiated for the management of stored grain pests (Teke and Mutlu, 2020). It is known that the production of EOs insect repellent formulations must be suitable to the market wishes by employing low-cost small-scale casting or pilot-scale production that could be sustained by the manufacturer and meet the consumer's preference.…”

“…The outstanding repellent activity of Cinnamon and Clove oils against S. granarius was also reported by Plata-Rueda et al (2018) and Yang et al, (2020) against S. zeamais. Teke and Mutlu (2020) concluded that the essential oils of Rosemary and Basil could potentially be used for the control of S. granarius L. and Tribolium castaneum. The strong repellent activity of Clove oil was also reported by Sabbour and Abd Elaziz (2011) against the faba bean beetle Bruchidius incarnatus (Coleoptera: Bruchidae).…”

“…This difference in efficiency may be attributed to the differences in families of the tested plant species. Moreover, the soil and climatic conditions faced, physiological structure, and nature of the plant species also influence the composition and toxicity of essential oils (Teke and Mutlu, 2020).…”

The comparative toxicity of ten selected native essential and edible oils was assessed against S. granarius. The oils used are black seed oil (Nigella sativa), Sesame oil (Sesamum indicum), olive oil (Olea europaea), Peppermint oil (Mentha piperita), Basil Oil (Ocimum basilicum), orange oil (Citrus sinensis), Rosemary oil (Rosmarinus officinalis), Clove oil (Dianthus caryophyllus), Garlic oil (Allium sativum), and Cinnamon oil (Cinnamomum zeylanicum). Different concentrations of oils were mixed with wheat grains and provided for adults in test tubes. Mortalities were recorded for 3 days post-treatment. The overall results showed that Garlic oil was the most toxic and Rosemary was the least toxic among both edible and essential oils. A direct correlation was found between oil dose and percent mortality of adults under all exposure periods. The recorded values of LC 50 and the toxicity index showed that Sesame oil was the most toxic edible oil followed by Black seed and Olive oils. The essential oils used can be arranged in descending order according to their toxicities to S. granarius adults as follows: Garlic > clove > Cinnamon > Basil > Orange > Peppermint> Rosemary. All the fixed and essential oils used, demonstrated satisfactory activity and proved to be promising as control agents of S. granaries and consequently other similar stored product insects. Some oils were highly toxic at low concentration and short exposure time; whereas some oils might be required in higher concentrations and longer exposure time to achieve satisfactory control of the insects.
