“…Petrakis, Kimbaris, Lykouressis, Polissiou, and Perdikis (2015) showed that hydrosols had a repellent effect, but their toxicity was very low against the peach aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae). Zekri, Handaq, El Caidi, Zair, and El Belghiti (2016) reported on the insecticidal activity of the compounds of the hydrosols from Mentha species against the citrus aphid Toxoptera aurantii Boyer (Hemiptera: Aphididae). The above promising results of hydrosols in pest control indicate their potential to be used as insecticides.…”

Hydrosols are by‐products derived during the extraction of essential oils and are produced in a high amount and at very low cost. Their effects on crop pests have been little studied, although recent studies have shown their insecticidal properties. In this work, the effects of hydrosols derived from Ocimum basilicum (sweet basil) and Ruta chalepensis (rue) were investigated on the serious crop pests Aphis gossypii and Tetranychus urticae. The main compounds of basil hydrosol were linalool (66.5%), eugenol (18.9%) and eucalyptol (7.1%), while rue's were 2‐nonanone and 2‐undecanone at 77.0% and 8.9%, respectively. The mortality and fecundity of A. gossypii and T. urticae were recorded for 7 days after application of hydrosols. Apterous adult aphids and female mites were sprayed on cucumber leaves in special structures. Both hydrosols caused significant mortality rates, which fluctuated between 46.0% and 64.0%. The negative control (deionized water) caused no mortality, while for the positive controls (synthetic pesticides) was 100%. The fecundity of A. gossypii and T. urticae was significantly reduced after the application of the hydrosols (17.1 nymphs of A. gossypii and 22.8 eggs for T. urticae had been produced per female after treated with the hydrosol of R. chalepensis and O. basilicum, in comparison with 41.6 and 49.5 in the negative controls, respectively). In conclusion, the hydrosols from both plants presented an important effect on the mortality and fecundity of both pests.

“…Studies have shown that essential oils of spearmint were efective against Lycoriella ingenua at 20 × 10 −3 mg/mL [10]; fumigation allowed controlling all stages of Callosobruchus maculatus; and the egg stage was the most susceptible stage [163]. Also, compared to M. pulegium, a M. suaveolens hydrosol showed higher insecticidal activity toward an insect pest of citrus, Toxoptera aurantii [164].…”

The genus Mentha L. (Lamiaceae) is distributed all over the world and can be found in many environments. Mentha species, one of the world's oldest and most popular herbs, are widely used in cooking, in cosmetics, and as alternative or complementary therapy, mainly for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders like latulence, indigestion, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and ulcerative colitis. Furthermore, it is well documented that the essential oil and extracts of Mentha species possess antimicrobial, fungicidal, antiviral, insecticidal, and antioxidant properties. The economic importance of mints is also evident; mint oil and its constituents and derivatives are used as lavoring agents throughout the world in food, pharmaceutical, herbal, perfumery, and lavoring industry. To provide a scientiic basis for their traditional uses, several studies have been conducted to determine the chemical composition of mints and assess their biological activities. This chapter describes the therapeutic efects and uses of Mentha species and their constituents, particularly essential oils and phenolic compounds; some additional biological activities will also be considered.

Essential oil (EO) extracts coming from two representative populations of Mentha suaveolens Ehrh. subesp. suaveolens in Eastern Iberian Peninsula were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry and flame ion detector. Plant sampling was carried out in the morning and evening in order to study diurnal variation in EO profiles. Likewise, leaves and inflorescences were analyzed separately. Two chemotypes corresponding to each one of the populations were identified, with piperitenone oxide (35.2 - 74.3%) and piperitone oxide (83.9 - 91.3%), respectively, as major compounds. Once different chemotypes were identified, canonical correspondence analysis was employed to evaluate the effect of the bioclimatic and edaphic factors recorded in each location on the observed differences. Statistical analysis suggested that these chemotypes were closely related to specific environmental factors, mainly the bioclimatic ones. Concretely, piperitenone oxide chemotype can be associated to supramediterranean bioclimatic conditions and soils with major salinity and water field capacity. On the other hand, the most volatile fraction (hydrocarbon monoterpenes) reached its higher level in the morning; specifically, a noticeable amount of limonene was found in morning samples of flowers (4.8 - 10.6%). This fact can be related to ecological role of volatile compounds in order to attract pollinator insects.
