“…Moreover, exposure to varying mixtures of the biosynthetically different compounds found in plant extracts can delay the evolution of resistance (Isman, 2000). Plant extracts are also an environmentally interesting tool because they are biodegradable and have minimal side-effects on non-target organisms, as well as on the environment (Isman, 2000(Isman, , 2006Pavela et al, 2013;Pavela, 2014a). Many plant extracts that contain substances with insecticidal effects also include a large group of the so-called essential oils.…”

“…As plant essential oils are natural products and are often extracted from culinary herbs, they are viewed as safe to eat [ 22 ] and are believed to have minimal negative effects on beneficial insects [ 22 , 23 ]. Laboratory experiments have revealed that essential oils such as peppermint ( Mentha × piperita ), thyme ( Thymus vulgaris ), rosemary ( Salvia rosmarinus ), cloves ( Syzygium aromaticum ), Norwegian angelica ( Angelica archangelica ), and basil ( Ocimum basilicum ) have repellent effects on spotted wing drosophila [ 24 ], aphids [ 23 , 25 , 26 , 27 ], and Colorado potato beetle [ 28 , 29 ]. Essential oils are volatile and have poor water solubility which make them difficult to use in agricultural settings [ 30 ].…”

Brassicaceous leafy greens are an important crop for small growers but are difficult to produce due to damage by flea beetles. Flea beetles are problematic for growers as they chew many small holes through leaves rendering produce unmarketable. We tested the efficacy of several essential oils, the woven-mesh row cover ProtekNet, and the spunbonded row cover Agribon, compared to organic and conventional insecticides and no spray controls in the spring and fall of 2019. We found that the two row cover treatments (Agribon and ProtekNet) provided the best control of flea beetles and associated damage. Thyme oil was highly phytotoxic and killed the crop entirely and rosemary and neem essential oils caused mild phytotoxic burns. Organic insecticides rarely performed better than the no spray control. While conventional insecticides controlled most flea beetles, the crop was often still too highly damaged to sell. The results of our study suggest row covers offer producers an effective method of flea beetle control that reduces their dependence on insecticides for conventional and organic production.

“…Plant extracts can affect pest behavior, including repelling the pest or prohibiting feeding activity, as well as pest physiology, including molting and respiratory inhibition, growth and fecundity reduction, and cuticle disruption [11]. Plant extracts are also an environmentally interesting tool because they are biodegradable and have minimal side-effects on non-target organisms, as well as on the environment [12].…”

Toxicity on Dengue Mosquito Vectors Through Myristica fragrans-Synthesized Zinc Oxide Nanorods, and Their Cytotoxic Effects on Liver Cancer Cells (HepG2)

et al. 2016

Dengue is an arbovirus mainly vectored by Aedes mosquitoes. Its prevention and control depends to effective vector control measures. Cancer causes millions of death every year. Most of the anticancer drugs have high toxicity and low specificity of action, leading to systemic toxicity and severe side effects. Thus, the development of effective tools is a priority. We fabricated zinc oxide nanoparticles using the Myristica fragrans extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. Nanoparticles were studied using UV-vis spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, zeta potential, dynamic light scattering, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. ZnO nanorods were highly effective against A. aegypti young instars, with LC 50 ranging from 3.44 (larva I) to 14.63 ppm (pupa). Nanorods showed adult LC 50 of 15.004 ppm. ZnO nanorods exhibited dose-dependent cytotoxicity against human hepato-cancer cells (HepG2). After 48 and 24 h of incubation, the IC 50 were 20 and 22 lg/ml, respectively. Nanorods triggered the induction of apoptosis. Overall, this study highlights that the possibility to employ M. fragrans-synthesized ZnO nanorods in mosquito control, as well as in the development of novel chemotherapeutic agents with reduced systemic toxicity.
