“…Several studies have reported the efficacy of essential oils from various plant parts against B. tabaci and other herbivores, and in most cases, they have had a significant effect with varying activities such as toxicity, irritability or repellence and as a deterrent to egg laying (Aslan et al, 2004; Baldin et al, 2013; Chae et al, 2014; da Silva Santana et al, 2022; Drabo et al, 2017; Kim et al, 2011; Pereira et al, 2018; Yang et al, 2010; Yarahmadi et al, 2013). Findings from this study demonstrate that some of the tested essential oils are effective against B. tabaci whiteflies either through repellence, oviposition deterrence or biocidal action with patchouli and neem oils being the most promising.…”
