“…Curcuma longa leaf essential oil and its major compound α -phellandrene were reported to have toxicity against Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann, 1830) larvae (Chaaban et al 2019). Curcumin extracted from roots of C. longa was reported to be highly toxic against 3rd instar larvae of horse bot fly, Gasterophilus intestinalis (DeGeer) (Attia et al 2022). In this study, we used a treated sand bioassay, which utilizes the digging behavior of the fire ant workers, to promote exposure between workers and the treatments.…”

Curcuma longa L. (Zingiberales: Zingiberaceae) leaf and rhizome essential oils were evaluated for their toxicity and repellency against invasive fire ants: red imported fire ants (RIFA), Solenopsis invicta Buren, black imported fire ants (BIFA), Solenopsis richteri Forel, and a reproductively functional hybrid (HIFA). Ar-turmerone was the major constituent of leaf (42.4%) and rhizome (40.4%) essential oils. A range of concentrations starting from 156 µg/g until the failure of treatment were used. Removal of treated sand in digging bioassay was used as a criterion for repellency. Leaf essential oil showed significantly higher repellency at concentrations of 19.5, 9.8, and 4.9 µg/g against RIFA, BIFA, and HIFA workers, respectively, as compared with control whereas rhizome essential oil was active at 39, 19.5, and 4.9 µg/g against BIFA, RIFA, and HIFA, respectively. Ar-turmerone exhibited repellency at 19.5 µg/g against HIFA workers whereas DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) failed at 39 µg/g. Leaf essential oil showed LC50 values of 85.8, 97.7, and 182.7µg/g against RIFA, BIFA and HIFA workers, whereas the rhizome essential oil had LC50 values of 127, 109.9, and 151.2 µg/g against these species, respectively. Ar-turmerone, tested only against HIFA, with LC50 value of 57.2 was the most active compound. Bifenthrin, a commonly used pyrethroid, with LC50 of 0.03, 0.32, and 0.018 µg/g was toxic against RIFA, BIFA, and HIFA workers, respectively. Both the essential oils and ar-turmerone showed toxicity and repellency against imported fire ants. Different formulations of these natural products will be tested to explore the use potential of these natural products under field conditions.

“…Subahar et al (2022) had reported that the turmeric rhizome extract decreases the immunoreactivity of octopamine (OA) and tyramine (TA) in the midgut of Aedes aegypti larvae along with damage to the epithelial cells microvilli, cell membranes, nucleus, mitochondria, and other cell organelles, which might be true in the case of higher bioactivity against C. chinensis. Curcuma longa shows inhibitory effect on Glutathione S-transferase (GST) and Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzymatic activity of the 3 rd instar G. intestinalis larvae, causing death of the insect (Attia et al, 2022).…”

Investigation on bio-efficacy of edible rhizome powder of ginger (Zingiber officinale) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) against Callosobruchus chinensis L. (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) undertaken at Department of Entomology, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat at different dosage admixed with green gram seed revealed that the turmeric rhizome powder recorded the highest adult mortality (97.00%) at 10 g/100 g (w/w) green gram seed at 72 hours after treatment (HAT) as against 31.07% in the case of ginger rhizome powder. The highest oviposition inhibition (100%) was seen in the case of turmeric against 63.23% in ginger at 10 g/100 g gram seed after 120 HAT. The LC50 values of turmeric (1.2 g/100 g seeds) were lower than ginger (11.87 g/100 g seeds) for 96 HAT. Turmeric rhizome powder showed significant adult toxicity, oviposition deterrence and ovicidal properties suggesting its possible incorporation in the IPM practices against storage insect pests of pulses.

“…Furthermore, curcumins have relatively simple structures amenable to chemical synthesis, to synthesize a substantial range of natural derivatives. Curcumins have been used as a potent larvicidal agent to control Aedes aegypti [ 10 , 11 ] and to stop the growth of Gasterophilus intestinalis , a parasite in the stomach of horses [ 12 ]. Other natural compounds like flavonoids [ 13 ] have also been used as a pesticide to retard larval growth among different insects like aphids [ 14 ].…”
