“…The tangerine peel, a by-product of the tangerine agro-industry, is an excellent example of the valorisation of agricultural waste [45,79,80]. Obtaining an essential oil from the peel through extraction with organic solvents and its subsequent removal by distillation provides a product of natural origin that has very low phytotoxicity in potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) (results not shown), which allows one to obtain from it a candidate for a botanical, natural, and environmentally friendly insecticide [35,81].…”

“…On the other hand, some natural substances present in fruits and plant tissues have evolved to become repellents for insects and other pests [19,20]. Such is the case with some terpenes, such as d-limonene [34][35][36][37][38]. This monoterpene has demonstrated its biocidal and insecticidal effects against various pests [35,36].…”

The excessive use of synthetic insecticides in modern agriculture has led to the contamination of the environment and the development of insect resistance. In this study, we evaluated the potential of tangerine (Citrus reticulata L.) peel essential oil (EO) as a natural insecticide against greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum W. (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae)), a common pest in greenhouse production. Petroleum ether (PET) and n-hexane (HEX) were used as solvents to extract essential oil (EO) from tangerine peels. The yield of EO was 1.59 % and 2.00 % (m/m) for PET and HEX, respectively. The insecticidal activity of EO was evaluated by measuring the mortality rate (MR) of greenhouse whiteflies at different time intervals. The results showed that PET and HEX extracts of tangerine EO effectively controlled the greenhouse whitefly. With both solvents, it was observed that with doses of 12.5% (v/v), similar results were achieved as with the positive control (corresponding to the commercial insecticide imidacloprid). Additionally, the FTIR analysis found that the EO contained d-limonene, which may be the source of its insecticidal properties. Therefore, tangerine peel essential oil is an excellent natural insecticide candidate for controlling greenhouse whiteflies effectively and sustainably.

BACKGROUND: The house mosquito, Culex pipiens L. is a harmful species, widespread in urban areas, and considered the primary enzootic vector of West Nile arbovirus. Widespread insecticide resistance in mosquito populations and the environmental risks and toxicity hazards of chemical pesticides make insecticides an inadequate mosquito control strategy. Seeking ecofriendly tools for mosquito control tools has become necessary. RESULTS: Essential oil (EO) was hydrodistilled from the fruits of Brazilian pepper, Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi and analyzed using gas chromatography-flame ionization detection and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. An oil-in-water nanoemulsion (particle size 41.3 nm) was developed and characterized from EO using a green low-energy approach. EO, its nanoemulsion and monoterpenes showed mosquitocidal, repellent and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities against Cx. pipiens. A nanoemulsion concentration of 30 ∼l L -1 caused 100% larval mortality after 24 h of exposure, whereas EO, D-limonene and ⊍-phellandrene at 60 ∼l L -1 caused 100%, 92.4% and 88.2% larval mortality, respectively. The concentration that killed 50% of organisms (LC 50 ) for larvae after 24 h ranged between 6.8 and 40.6 ∼l L -1 . Upon fumigation, 15.0 ∼l L -1 of nanoemulsion killed 94.5% of adults after 24 h of exposure. LC 50 values against adults ranged between 5.3 and 31.2 ∼l L -1 . EO products exhibited repellence activity at concentrations between 0.5 and 4.0 ∼l cm -2 . Test materials effectively inhibited the acetylcholinesterase activity of mosquito and were safe toward the non-target organisms Gambusia affinis and Eisenia fetida.CONCLUSION: There is a potential for using S. terebinthifolius EO, its nanoemulsion and monoterpenes as ecofriendly natural mosquitocides.

Coffee is an important commodity in Latin America that is grown by smallholder farmers and large-scale coffee producers. The coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae) is a major pest of coffee that originates from West Africa and has invaded all coffee-producing regions. With climate change, the problems that this beetle poses to coffee production are expected to increase. Controlling this pest is a true challenge and chemical insecticides still are one of the main tools used, despite the environmental and human-health issues associated with this approach. To find sustainable alternatives for chemical control of the coffee berry borer, classical biological control, augmentative biological control, and integrated pest management have received extensive attention. Parasitoids, predators, entomopathogenic fungi, and nematodes have been identified and studied for their potential to manage the infestations of this major coffee pest. Conservation biological control has recently gained more attention, but its development is still in its infancy. In this review, we examine strategies for the control of the coffee berry borer in Latin America. We identify knowledge gaps for developing sustainable biological control programs, including conservation biological control within the context of farming systems, land use in the surrounding landscape, as well as the vision of coffee growers.
