“…An important fact is that it was safe for earthworms (E. fetida), confirmed by both the contact paper test and artificial soil test. Selin-Rani et al [19] obtained similar results with the same previously described test organisms, but these authors compared the effect of quercetin isolated from Euphorbia hirta with monotrophos and cypermethrin.…”

This paper describes vermicomposting of kitchen organic waste with the use of Eisenia fetida earthworms in an ecological box. To control excessively proliferated Sciaridae in the box medium, an Owinema bio-preparation, which contains larvae of the nematode Steinernema feltiae, was used. The effect of this bioinsecticide on the earthworm population during vermicomposting of organic waste was assessed. It was found that the applied bio-preparation effectively limited the population of sciarids and also had a positive effect on the development of the earthworm population (it caused a significant increase in the number and biomass of mature and immature forms and cocoons produced (p < 0.05)). The Owinema preparation also had a positive effect on the rate of organic waste vermicomposting.

“…Quercetin is a phenolic component found in a number of plants (Anjaneyulu & Chopra, 2003). Quercetin is toxic and repellent to a number of Lepidopteran and Dipteran pests (Ahmad & Pardini, 1990;Hidayatulfathi et al, 2017;Selin-Rani et al, 2016). However, the repellency of quercetin against B. dorsalis and B. correcta species are still unknown.…”

“…However, to the best authors knowledge, S. brevifolium, P. nigrum and quercetin still have not been tested against B. correcta. However, seeds extract of A. indica have been tested against B. dorsalis (Hidayatulfathi et al, 2017;Selin-Rani et al, 2016), while not against the B. correcta. S. brevifolium, P. nigrum and A. indica are commonly cultivated plants in Asia especially in China.…”

Background: Bactrocera dorsalis and B. correcta are economically important fruit fly pests of crops, vegetables, fruits, and nuts worldwide, especially in China. Nowadays in China, B. correcta is a second notorious pest of many fruits after B. dorsalis. Different botanicals have been tested against the B. dorsalis but in the case of B. correcta, no records were published. Methodology: This study evaluated the repellency of four botanicals (Seriphidium brevifolium, Piper nigrum, Azadirachta indica and quercetin) in acetone dilutions (5%, 2.5% and 1%) against the B. dorsalis and B. correcta at the laboratory conditions (25 ± 2 C, 60 ± 5% relative humidity, and a photoperiod of L:D 14:10 h). Results: The number of visits after 24-48 h, oviposition punctures, and pupae made by both species were lower on the treated mangoes in comparison to untreated mangoes. S. brevifolium, P. nigrum, A. indica and quercetin have significantly reduced the visits, ovipositional punctures, and pupae of both species. Among botanicals, the P. nigrum was the most effective repellent against B. correcta and as well as B. dorsalis. However, the harmful effects of these botanicals against natural enemies are still unknown. Fraceto LF. 2014.

“…For example, quercetin can destroy the mid-gut of S. litura. 22 When compound 1 or compound 2 were applied separately, there was some damage to the wall of the midgut of S. litura compared with the control (Fig. 7(c) and (d)).…”

BACKGROUND Portulaca oleracea L., common purslane, is an insecticidal plant that has been documented as a ‘Chinese indigenous pesticide’, and it is seldom visited by insects in the field. However, identification of anti‐insect compounds and mechanisms of action are still unclear. RESULTS Interplanting purslane with Chinese cabbage demonstrated that purslane may contain secondary compounds that S. litura avoids eating. Four compounds were isolated from P. oleracea by directed anti‐insect activity, and their chemical structures were identified by NMR spectra as (9Z,11E,15Z)‐13‐hydroxyoctadeca‐9,11,15‐trienoic acid (1), portulacanone A (2), portulacanone D (3), and a new natural product 2,4′‐dihydroxy‐3′,5′‐dimethoxychalcone (4). A combination of compound 1 and 2 possessed stronger activity than other combinations (compounds 1 + 3; 1 + 4; 2 + 3; 2 + 4; 3 + 4). Both active compounds were detected in all samples from 23 regions in China, and concentrations in samples collected from 17 regions were generally above 500 μg/kg. Concentrations of compounds 1 and 2 fluctuated greatly from April to November, and reached maximum concentrations of 45 951.44 μg/kg for compound 1 and 3739.09 μg/kg for compound 2 in November. The combination of these compounds (1 + 2) caused mid‐gut structural deformation and tissue decay as determined by mid‐gut histopathology of S. litura. CONCLUSION In general, these active compounds coexisting contributed to partly protect purslane from insects. This research also provides new insights into the use of purslane as important ingredient of botanical pesticide alternatives to traditional chemical pesticides. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry
