“…The essential oil of laurel leaves could play an important role in stored product protection, reducing risks associated with the use of synthetic insecticides and, hence, it may become an interesting alternative to conventional chemical control strategies [146][147][148][149]. The insecticidal activity was tested for volatile toxicity against several pests: Tetranychus urticae [150], Ephestia Kuehniella [149,151], Plodia interpunctella [149], Trialeurodes vaporariorum [152], Cryptolestes ferrugineus [148], Tenebrio molitor [148], Aphis gossypii [153,154], Tribolium castaneum [146,147,155], Rhizopertha dominica [146,147], Oryzaephilus surinamensis [146], Sitophilus oryzae [146], Artemia salina [156], Psoroptes cuniculi [157], Acanthoscelides obtectus [158,159], Culex quinquefasciatus [160], Bemisia tabaci [161], Aedes aegypti [162], Pediculus humanus capitis [163], Culex pipiens molestus [164], and Tribolium confusum [165]. Several authors have also investigated the role of some pure compounds present in laurel leaf essential oil showing that 1,8-cineole is the main active constituent [146,147,166].…”
