“…The insecticidal effects of Lavandula angustifolia Chaix, Rosmarinus officinalis L., Thymus vulgaris L., and Laurus nobilis L. plant essential oils were studied against: Sitophilus oryzae (Linnaeus, 1763), R. dominica, and Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). Sitophilus oryzae and R. dominica were found to have the maximum sensitivity to essential oil (Rozman et al 2007). Ebadollahi et al (2010) studied the fumigant insecticidal toxicity of Agastache foeniculum (Pursh) essential oil.…”

Abstract:The insecticidal effects of Eucalyptus dundasii Maiden essential oil was studied on the adults of the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.), and the saw-toothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.). Essential oil was obtained by the hydro-distillation method and essential oil composition was analysed by GC-MS. Chemical analysis indicated that 1,8-cineole (54.15%), p-cymene (12.41%), α-thujene (11.37%), and E-caryophyllene (6.7%) were major constituents. For R. dominica and O. surinamensis, the LC 50 of E. dundasii essential oil was 41.69 and 57.92 μl · l -1 of air, respectively. Increasing the concentration of the essential oil and the exposure time, increased mortality. The durability of fumigant toxicity on O. surinamensis adults was higher than on R. dominica adults and was statistically different. Based on the mean of the repellent indexes and the standard deviation, E. dundasii essence was repellent for both insects at 70, 140, and 280 μl · l -1 of air concentrations. Statistical analysis showed that Relative Growth Rate (RGR) in O. surinamensis was higher than in R. dominica, and the Relative Consumption Rate (RCR), the Efficiency of Conversion of Ingested food (ECI), and the Feeding Deterrence Index (FDI) in O. surinamensis was lower than in R. dominica. The many diverse bio-effects of E. dundasii essential oil confirmed that it is a good candidate for management of R. dominica and O. surinamensis.

“…The extracts and essential oils have demonstrated antimicrobial and insecticidal activity (Deans and Svoboda 1989;Regnault-Roger et al 2004;Pavela 2006;Mahmoodi et al 2014). The plant's essential oils have various insecticidal activity such as contact toxicity (Asawalam et al 2006;Ogendo et al 2008), repellence (Kéita et al 2001;Rozman et al 2007), fumigant toxicity (Lee et al 2003;Rajendran and Muralidharan 2005;Shojaaddini et al 2008), and antifeedant effects (Saxena et al 1992). Several studies have reported insecticidal effects of A. annua extract containing growth retardation, antifeedant, and larvicidal effects (Haghighian et al 2008;Shekari et al 2008;Hasheminia et al 2011).…”

Abstract:The essential oil of Artemisia annua L., a weed collected from northern Iran, was studied for its toxicity and physiological aspects on 4th instar larva of the cotton bollworm Helicoverpa armigera Hübner in controlled conditions (26±1°C, 65±10% RH and 16 L :: 8 D h). The artificial diet was used as a medium for investigating the toxicity and the effect of LC 10 , LC 30 , LC 50 , and LC 90 on the feeding efficiency of 4th instar larva. The essential oil in doses of LC 10 , LC 30 , LC 50 , and LC 90 were estimated to be 2.01%, 3.86%, 6.07%, and 18.34%, respectively. The activity of α-amylase, protease, lipase, general esterases, and glutathione S-transferase and protein, triglyceride, glucose for treated larva were measured. The results showed that all of these parameters were decreased compared with the control. Hence, A. annua essential oil is suggested as a botanical for controlling this important pest of field crops.

“…The insecticidal activity of several plant essential oils, powders and other extracts has been evaluated against several insect pests of cereals and legumes and found to have contact toxicity (Asawalam et al 2006;Ogendo et al 2008), repellence (Kéita et al 2001;Rosman et al 2007), fumigant toxicity (Lee et al 2003;Rajendran & Muriladharan 2005), anti-feedant (Saxena et al 1992;Ogemah 2003) effects. Ogendo et al (2008) reported that essential oils extracted from aerial parts of Ocimum americanum, Lantana camara and Tephrosia vogelli and monoterpene constituent, eugenol, had concentration, exposure time, species (plant and insect) and plant partdependent instant and residual repellent potency against adult Tribolium castaneum, Rhyzopertha dominica, Sitophilus oryzae, and Callosobruchus chinensis.…”
