“…It was observed that the chemical composition of extracted essential oil differ from those that were previously reported by various researcher (Ramidi et al, 1998 andPhuyal et al, 2019) where linalool was the major constituents however in this study eucalyptol was found to be the major components. Similar finding was reported by Kabdal et al (2023), where linalool was absent in one of their samples and instead, they got trans-sabinene hydrate as the major component. Environmental conditions (especially altitude) and collection site could be the reason that indirectly affect the EO yields and chemical compositions (Chrysargyris et al, 2020 andDaferera et al, 2000).…”

Aphids have been considered as a major pest of cultivated crops and invade a wide range of vegetables, cereals, and fruits. Use of synthetic chemical insecticides are the common aphid management practices in the world. The use of chemical insecticides/pesticides raises many concerns associated with the environment, biodiversity and human health. Therefore, the use of natural products such as essential oils have been tested extensively to assess their insecticidal and repellent activity. In this study different concentrations (0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.4% and 0.5%) of essential oil (EO) from seeds of Zanthoxylum armatum were tested for their insecticidal and repellent activity for aphids using direct toxicity and repellency method. Results revealed that mortality and repellency were concentrations and exposure time dependent. Mean mortality percentage increased with the increasing concentration and exposure time. 100% mortality was observed in 0.5% concentration after 48 hrs exposure time. However, repellent activity increases with the increasing concentration and decreases with the increasing exposure time. The maximum repellence percentage (96.29%) was achieved in 0.5% oil concentration after 24 hrs of exposure time. Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the essential oil revealed the presence of three major compounds such as Eucalyptol (46.47%), Methyl Cis-Cinnamate (11.13%), and D-Limonene (7.10%) reported as insecticidal activity.

This study investigates the phytochemical profiles and pesticidal activities of various Elsholtzia species, including E. ciliata, E. flava, E. fruticosa, and E. eriostachya, to discover their bioactive potential for sustainable pest management. Through comparative phytochemical analysis using GC‐MS technique, key compounds in the essential oils were identified. The major components were thymoquinone (44.97%) in E. ciliata, shisofuran (28.66%) in E. flava, perillene (50.88%) in E. fruticosa, and pinocarvone (42.41%) in E. eriostachya. Despite variability in chemical composition, all species primarily contained oxygenated monoterpenes. The bioactivity of the oils was evaluated for their nematicidal and herbicidal bioassays. E. ciliata showed the highest egg hatching inhibition and juvenile mortality of M. incognita, while E. flava exhibited the lowest activity. For herbicidal activity, E. eriostachya achieved 96.70% seed germination inhibition, 100% root growth inhibition, and 95.56% shoot growth inhibition. E. flava showed the lowest inhibition in germination, root length, and shoot length at 66.70%, 81.56%, and 85.28%, respectively. The findings revealed significant variations in phytochemical composition and pesticidal efficacy, emphasizing the importance of species selection for pest management. This research highlights the bioactive potential of Elsholtzia species in sustainable pest management strategies.
