“…Earlier studies with Piper nigrum, Cuminum cyminum, Allium sativum and Aegle marmelos oils have established their repellent, contact toxicity, fumigant toxicity, oviposition inhibitory and developmental inhibitory activities against S. zeamais. Fumigation of adult insects with these oils inhibited acetylcholine esterase activity in S. zeamais [35,36] . Besides complete oils, its individual components have also been known for its repellent, contact toxicity, fumigant toxicity, oviposition inhibitory and developmental inhibitory activities against insects [28,30,37] .…”

Uncontrolled and indiscriminate uses of synthetic insecticides in pest management programme cause ozone depletion, neurotoxicity, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity and mutagenesis in non-target animals, and resistance in target animals. These outcomes have diverted attention of researches towards the use of plant volatiles in pest management strategies. In this study, laboratory trial was carried out to evaluate insecticidal properties of tailed pepper, Piper cubeba and ginger, Zingiber officinale essential oils against maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Essential oils were isolated and evaluated for repellent, toxic, oviposition inhibitory, developmental inhibitory and feeding inhibitory activities against S. zeamais. In toxicity assay by fumigation method, median lethal concentrations (LC50) of P. cubeba and Z. officinale oils were 0.396 and 0.317 μlcm -3 ; and 0.437 and 0.364 μlcm -3 air respectively when S. zeamais adults were exposed for 24 and 48h. In contact toxicity assay, lethal concentrations (LC50) of P. cubeba and Z. officinale oils were 0.289 and 0.231 μlcm -2 ; and 0.299 and 0.246 μlcm -2 area respectively when S. zeamais adults were exposed for 24 and 48h. AChE activity was reduced when adults were fumigated with sub-lethal concentrations of both oils. Both P. cubeba and Z. officinale oils significantly reduced Role of Piper…

“…P. cubeba and Z. officinale oils reduced AChE activity in S. zeamais adults. Several essential oils and compounds have also been reported to inhibit AChE activity paralysis and death in insects [28,35,36] . Researches have been shown that these oils interference with neuromodulator octopamine or GABA-gated chloride channels [38,39] .…”

“…The essential oil and the hydrolate, according to their chemical analyses, contain sulfur compounds, phenols, and flavonoids. The sulfur compounds are characterized by having a neurotoxic mode of action since they act on the octopaminergic system of insects, inhibiting neurotransmitters such as octopamine, which leads to the total decomposition of the nervous system, altering the locomotor activity that leads to paralysis and the insect's death (Chaubey, 2017;Plata-Rueda et al, 2017).…”

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of Annona muricata and Allium fistulosum extracts in controlling Thrips tabaci and to identify the main secondary metabolites. We obtained extracts from A. muricata seeds and of A. fistulosum L. leaves. An in vitro model for evaluating insecticide against T. tabaci was performed. The effect of the extracts was individually and subsequently assessed in mixtures for determining the mean lethal concentration. According to the results obtained with T. tabaci, the A. muricata L. extract showed LC 50 = 82.93 mg L-1 , the essential oil showed LC 50 = 335.29 mg L-1 , and the hydrolate showed LC 50 = 2348.84 mg L-1. The combinations of extracts reached mortality rates between 50% and 72.62%, which are promising results as alternatives for the comprehensive management of this pest. The analysis of the Annonaceae extract using HPLC indicated the presence of acetogenins and alkaloids, and the analysis of A. fistulosum L. extracts using GC-MS showed the presence of volatile sulfur compounds. The phenol and total flavonoid contents were also determined in the essential oil and in the A. fistulosum L. hydrolate.

“…The leaf extracts have also shown oviposition deterrence, ovicidal and repellent activity against Anopheles subpictus (Elango et al, 2009). This plant extract has also exhibited insecticidal and repellent effects against a few agricultural and stored grain insect pests (Hiremath et al, 1997: Chaubey, 2017: Murasing et al, 2017 but no such activity has been reported against M. cribraria so far.…”

Megacopta cribraria, a new pest of concern worldwide, has been studied extensively to understand its binomics and control. Research on efficacy of botanical pesticides for its control, however is lacking. This study focuses on the efficacy of a plant-based extract derived from Aegle marmelos leaves. The ovicidal potential of crude aqueous A. marmelosleaf extract was tested at five concentrations (1.25%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10%), resulting in a maximum of 30% ovicidal action at the 10% concentration which is significantly higher than the control as in the natural condition 100% egg hatching is observed. The extract also exhibited deterrence activity against adult bugs. At all concentrations, significant deterrence was observed in terms of time spent on the treated surface and the frequency of visitation. At the highest concentration, only 2.5% of the total 10 min observation time was spent on the treated surface as compared to the control. The frequency of visitation to the treated surface (14% visit) also declined significantly at 10% concentration clearly exhibiting the deterrent effect of the extract to the bugs. This deterrence activity was further evident by frequent grooming behavior exhibited by the bugs, trying to cleanse away the extract stuck to their body receptors. The study shows that A. marmelos leaves extract has the potential as a biopesticide against M. cribraria and can be researched further in different aspects of its insecticidal potential and can be considered by agriculturists for the pest control program.
