“…Regarding the species investigated in the present study, the literature offers reports on the effect of the EO from Citrus limon against pests of interest to veterinary medicine (Aboelhadid, Mahrous, Hashem, Abdel‐Kafy, & Miller, ), human medicine (Selvakumar, Gokulakrishnan, Elanchezhiyan, & Deepa, ), agriculture (Martins, Zago, Costa, Araujo Junior, & Carvalho, ) and grain storage (Karabörklü, Ayvaz, Yilmaz, & Akbulut, ). The EO from Citrus reticulata is also reported to have action against pests of interest to human medicine (Badawy et al, ), agricultural activities and grain storage (Badawy et al, ; Mishra, Tripathi, & Tripathi, ), including the two‐spotted spider mite (Choi, Lee, Park, & Ahn, ). Moreover, the EO from Citrus aurantiifolia has demonstrated action against the two‐spotted spider mite in a previous study (Pavela, Stepanycheva, Shchenikova, Chermenskaya, & Petrova, ).…”

Tetranychus urticae is a major agricultural pest with worldwide distribution that has caused considerable damage to vegetable crops in north‐eastern Brazil. The aim of the present study was to investigate the chemical and lethal/sublethal effects of essential oils from the peels of the lime (Citrus aurantiifolia), lemon (C. limon), mandarin orange (C. reticulata) and (C. reticulata × C. sinensis) as well as selected constituents (linalool, α‐terpineol, α‐pinene, β‐pinene, terpinolene and limonene) against T. urticae. The greatest yield was achieved with the mandarin and tangerine peel oils. The chemical analysis (gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry) of the essential oils from the Citrus fruit peels enabled the identification of 127 compounds, revealing a predominance of monoterpenes. Limonene was the major constituent, and α‐pinene, β‐pinene, linalool and α‐terpineol were found in substantial quantities. Regarding the susceptibility of T. urticae, the Citrus oils and selected constituents were more effective by fumigation than residual contact. The C. reticulata oil was the most toxic by fumigation, and the C. limon oil was the most toxic by residual contact. The constituent α‐terpineol exhibited the highest toxicity with both methods. At a sublethal concentration, the oils and selected constituents had significant effects on the fecundity, feeding preference and oviposition of the mite. Citrus oils and their constituents are potentially useful for the future integrated management of T. urticae due to their lethal and sublethal properties. However, further studies are needed to evaluate the action of these essential oils against non‐target organisms and determine the cost–benefit ratio for the formulation of an acaricide harvested from agro‐industrial waste from citric fruit processing activities for use in the integrated control of T. urticae.

“…They found that oil caused 50–60% of egg mortality, and 18 and 28% of larval and pupal mortality, respectively, at same dose and 24 h of exposure. In T. castaneum, M. arvensis oil was found to reduce 67.50 and 61.25% acetylcholinesterase activity over control ( Mishra et al, 2014 ) after 24 h of fumigation. Saroukolai et al (2014) reported that M. spicata essential oil showed 259.73 and 75.31 ppm LC 50 value against fourth star larvae of potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) by fumigant bioassay and oil also exhibited 39.26% feeding deterrent index against the adults at 16 ppm.…”

Prospective of Essential Oils of the Genus Mentha as Biopesticides: A Review

Mentha is a genus from the family Lamiaceae, whose essential oils has long been used in various forms such as in management of plant pathogens and insect pests, in traditional medicine as well as in culinary and cosmetics. Its major chemical components such as menthol, carvone have now been successfully commercialized in the industry as antimicrobials/insecticidal agents. Current review focuses on chemical composition of essential oils of some Mentha species from different geographical regions with their insecticidal (repellent, antifeedant, and ovicidal) and antimicrobial efficacies against bacterial, fungal plant pathogens and insects of stored products. Reports of the researchers on chemical analysis of essential oils of Mentha species revealed that most of the oils being rich in pulegone, menthon, menthol, carvone, 1, 8-cineole, limonene and β-caryophyllene. Reviewed literature revealed that, essential oils from different Mentha species possess potential antimicrobial activity against plant pathogens and have insecticidal activity against stored product insects. Thus, antimicrobial and insecticidal properties of essential oils of Mentha species offer the prospect of using them as natural pesticides with a commercial value, having social acceptance due to its sustainability and being environment friendly.

“…The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase causes a desensitisation of the acetylcholine receptor and leads to obstruction of the influx transmission (Fournier et al 1992). Mishra et al (2014) studied the acetylcholinesterase activity of T. castaneum against Citrus reticulata Linnaeus (Rutaceae) and Mentha arvensis Linnaeus (Lamiaceae) essential oils at LC 50 doses. Acetylcholinesterase activity was reduced as a result of both essential oil treatments: 0.049 μM of substrate hydrolysed min −1 mg −1 of protein with C. reticulata and 0.054 μM of substrate hydrolysed min −1 mg −1 of protein with M. arvensis, compared to 0.080 μM of substrate hydrolysed min −1 mg −1 of protein in the control.…”

Insecticidal activity of Melaleuca alternifolia (Myrtaceae) essential oil against Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) and its inhibitory effects on insecticide resistance development

Pests in stored grains pose a global threat to food security. Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is one of the most serious stored-grain pests in the world, capable of surviving harsh environments and developing resistance to certain classes of insecticides. Fumigation toxicity and the impact of Melaleuca alternifolia Cheel (Myrtaceae) essential oil on T. castaneum were investigated in this study. The 50% lethal concentration (LC50) fumigation toxicity of M. alternifolia essential oil for T. castaneum adults and larvae was 122.7 µL/L at 24 hours and 280 µL/L at 48 hours, respectively. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry showed that the oil’s major volatile compounds included terpinen-4-ol (31.78%), α-terpineol (20.24%), and terpinolene (17.94%). The treatment disrupted the normal enzymatic activity of acetylcholinesterase, carboxylesterase, and glutathione-S-transferase in T. castaneum adults and caused DNA damage. Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil is a strong fumigant and may be a good substitute for synthetic fumigants used to control pests of stored grain.
