“…Further purification of Cymbopogon oil and separation of its active ingredients may enhance its varroacidal effect. In previous studies, Cymbopogon oil has been found to have miticidal activity [26] and it is known that citral, its main component, may kill Varroa mites [41]. However, this is the first study to demonstrate its varroacidal activity and low toxicity to adult bees and larvae.…”

This study examined the toxicity of anethole and that of the essential oils of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) and sweet marigold (Tagetes lucida) to the mite Varroa destructor and to honey bee workers and larvae. Anethole was the most toxic compound to V. destructor (LC50: 304.9 μg/ml), whereas Tagetes oil was the least toxic (LC50: 1256.27 μg/ml). The most and least toxic compounds to worker bees were anethole and Tagetes oil with LD50s of 35942 and 85381 μg/ml, respectively. For larvae, Tagetes oil was the most toxic compound (LD50: 9580.7 μg/ml) and anethole the least toxic (LD50: 14518.0 μg/ml). Anethole and Cymbopogon oil had the highest selectivity ratios. The expression of AChE, a gene that regulates the production of acetyl cholinesterase, a detoxifying enzyme, was not altered in bees treated with the plant compounds at 48 h post-treatment. This study showed that anethole and Cymbopogon oil have potential for controlling Varroa mites and seem to be relatively safe for larvae and adult honey bees.

“…For example, anethole has shown toxicity to several insects [21,22], nematodes [23], and mites [24]. Cymbopogon oil can kill mosquitoes [25] and mites [26]. Tagetes oil has evidenced pesticide activity against insects such as bedbugs [27] and against ticks [28].…”

“…The research on the use of C. winterianus the fields of pharmacology, perfume, aromatherapy, and insect repellent has been widely studied, but the use of C. winterianus in biopesticides is still limited to be studied, especially as a biofungicide agent. Previous studies have reported that essential oil C. winterianus has insecticidal activity against Frankliniella schultzei and Myzus persicae ) and ethanol extract from C. winterianus are insecticidal to Tetranychus urtica (VicentiniI et al 2015). In Thailand, the mixture of crude extract of leaves of C. winterianus and Azadirachta indica A.H.L.…”

Andila PS, Hendra IPA, Wardani PK, Tirta IG, Sutomo, Fardenan D. 2018. The phytochemistry of Cymbopogon winterianus essential oil from Lombok Island, Indonesia and its antifungal activity against phytopathogenic fungi. Nusantara Bioscience 10: 232-239. Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt ex Bor [Sereh Wangi] is a plant producing essential oil that has been extensively used in perfumery, mosquito repellent, medicinal, and cosmetic industry. In Indonesia, the accession of C. winterianus plant had been collected from natural forest in Sembalun, Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province. However, the phytochemical properties and its biological potential of this accession have never been reported. The aim of this study was to determine the phytochemical content of essential oil of C. winterianus from Lombok and to explore its potential as a bioantifungal against several phytopathogen fungi. The essential oils were extracted from fresh stem and leaf of C. winterianus by hydrodistillation. The chemical composition of them was determined by chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 26 and 20 compounds were obtained from the stem and leaf oil with the dominant compounds of essential oil in stem were Torreyol (17.89%), Oxirane, octyl- (15.84%), (-)-Isopulegol (14.44%), Isopulegol 2 (12.18%), and Geranyl Acetate (5.89%) while in leaf were (-)-Isopulegol (22.69%), Oxirane, octyl- (16.64%), Cyclohexanol, 5-methyl-2-(1-methylethenyl)- (14.21%), "KW3 AUS Epiglobulol” (9.47%), and Cyclohexene, 1-methyl-4-(1-methylethenyl)- (7.14%). The presence of these contents as dominant chemical compounds in S. winterianus was reported for the first time. The highest content of oils was identified as monoterpene (38.01% and 45.78% in stem and leaf oil) and sesquiterpene ( 27.67% and 17.78 % in stem and Leaf oil). The biological study showed that leaf essential of C. winterianus expressed positive antifungal activity against Fusarium solani, Aspergillus niger, dan Cladosporium sp.

The harmful effects caused by the use of toxic substances in agriculture have led to the development of alternative solutions, and researchers have focused on understanding the effectiveness and potential of plant extracts in agriculture. The aim of this systematic review was to understand the situation of research and scientific dissemination, as well as how current science has approached the use of plant extracts in agriculture, especially in seed applications. There is potential on the use of plant extracts in agriculture, demonstrated by a high number of publications over the last ten years, especially in the years 2018, 2019 and 2020, and Brazil stands out as the main country on this research area. Control of phytopathogenic microorganisms, insect control, biostimulant effect, resistance induction and herbicide effect have been the main themes explored for use in agriculture. The direct application of plant extracts is centered on plants and seeds, being this latter mainly focused on the control of phytopathogenic organisms and biostimulating effect.
