“…In urban parks and gardens, the effectiveness of biocontrol treatments, such as entomopathogenic microorganisms like Bacillus thuringiensis (Berliner) (Las Heras, 2019), viruses (Oberemok, Laikova, Shumskykh, & Zaitsev, 2017;Rose, Jehle, & Kleespies, 2013) and nematodes (Goettig & Herz, 2018;SangMyeong, DongWoon, HoYul, & JiWoong, 1997), has been studied. Oviposition deterrent products, such as essential oils (Goettig, Korn, & Herz, 2017) or volatiles released from frass pellets of C. perspectalis Molnar, Toth, & Karpati, 2017), have also been tested, as well as the egg parasitoids of the genus Trichogramma (Goettig & Herz, 2016). Finally, the injection of insecticides into tree trunks (Bras et al, 2017), conventional treatments with systemic products (Bras et al, 2017) and leaf treatments (Fora, Sasu, Posta, & Berar, 2016;Las Heras, 2019;Qian, Xue, Wei, & Chang, 2018) has also been studied.…”

Boxwood is a very important component of the natural forests of the eastern Pyrenees. In the low altitudes of these forests, the invasive species Cydalima perspectalis (Walker) causes considerable damage, and there is concern that it will migrate towards the natural forests at higher altitudes. To determine the biological parameters of the local pest population, a semiartificial diet with lyophilized powdered Buxus sempervirens L. leaves was developed. The results obtained indicate that the studied population of C. perspectalis is very similar to the native Japanese population in terms of the number of larval instars to complete development, the development rate and the critical photoperiod for the induction of diapause. It has also been demonstrated that long photoperiods can shorten the duration of larval development. The diapause induction response was classified as type I, and diapause termination was classified as type III. At the two studied temperatures, 25º and 15ºC, the larvae seemed to require a similar number of days in diapause, approximately 3 months, to spontaneously resume development; temperatures can also prompt larvae to resume development. The critical photoperiod in the study area occurs during the second half of August, varying somewhat according to temperature. The greatest defoliation is caused by the offspring of the first generation, while the majority of the larval offspring of the second generation will enter diapause. The survival of natural boxwood in this area will depend on its ability to regrow one or two years after extensive defoliation and on the adaptation of several indigenous natural enemies in the region to feed on C. perspectalis.

“…Botanical insecticides belong among the integrable components into organic systems (Reddy, Chowdary 2021). Although the efficacy of a number of plant-derived compounds has been tested on BTM (Gottig et al 2017;Szelényi et al 2020;Gokturk et al 2021), commercially available formulations are limited. In one related research, NeemAzal ® (containing the active ingredient Azadirachtin A) was able to control 3 rd instar larvae of BTM after 14 days in laboratory conditions.…”

Box tree moth (BTM) Cydalima perspectalis (Walker, 1859) is the most harmful pest of different boxwood species in Europe and Asia including Caspian boxwood Buxus hyrcana in the Hyrcanian forests of Iran. Accessible and effective eco-friendly insecticides are required for the pest control. Thus, susceptibility of 2nd and 4th instar larvae of BTM to commercial formulation of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), two plant extract formulations, Bio1® and Matrine®, and three insect growth regulator (IGR) insecticides, chlorfluazuron, chromafenozide and diflubenzuron were investigated in laboratory bioassay. Except for diflubenzuron, significant mortality of both instar larvae was observed. At the endpoint of the experiments (96 h), 75.2–90% of second and 80–85% of fourth instar larvae had already died, as a result of feeding on leaves treated with the highest concentration of the insecticides. Furthermore, based on Probit analysis, Matrine® exhibited the highest efficiency (lethal concentration LC50 = 2.87 μL·L–1) on 2nd instar larvae and followed by Bio1® (8.07 μL·L–1), chlorfluazuron (173.3 μL·L–1) and Bt (326.3 mg·L–1). The LC50 of Matrine® and Bt for 4th instar larvae were 1.75 μL·L–1 and 335.8 mg·L–1, respectively. Our study revealed that Matrine® and chromafenozide could be alternatively used against BTM in situations where there is a permission and need to use insecticides.

“…Although the highest amount of electrophysiologically active compounds were found in lavender, it proved to be the least effective in deterring egg-laying behaviour. Lavender oil has been tested as a potential oviposition deterrent agent against BTM [34], where lavender did not show any effect on ovipositing behaviour. The different outcomes of our study could be explained with the different concentrations and dispersion methods used.…”

Concerning the ovipositing behaviour of BTM, only one study investigated the contact ovipositing deterrent effect of different EOs [34].…”

The box tree moth (Cydalima perspectalis Walker) is an invasive species in Europe causing severe damage both in natural and ornamental boxwood (Buxus spp.) vegetation. Pest management tactics are often based on the use of chemical insecticides, whereas environmentally-friendly control solutions are not available against this insect. The application of essential oils may provide effective protection against oviposition and subsequent larval damage. Oviposition deterrence of cinnamon, eucalyptus and lavender essential oils was tested on female C. perspectalis in behavioural bioassays. Our results indicate that all the studied essential oils may be adequate deterrents; however, cinnamon oil exhibited the strongest effect. To determine the physiologically active compounds in the headspace of the essential oils, gas chromatography coupled with electroantennography recordings were performed in parallel with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to identify the volatile constituents. In addition, the release rates of various components from vial-wick dispensers were measured during the oviposition bioassay. These results may serve as a basis for the development of a practical and insecticide-free plant protection method against this invasive moth species.
