“…Similarly, the composition of 1,8-cineole is lesser (12.2–23.15%) in H. spicatum oil [ 28 , 29 , 30 ] than in the current results. The composition of asarone in the present study is higher than in earlier reports, which observed comparatively less (9.5 – 50.09%) [ 31 , 32 ]. Earlier studies showed that the composition of linalool in L. angustifolia in previous studies was also lesser (19.71, 28.06, and 31.17%) [ 33 , 34 , 35 ] than present study (33.30%).…”

Pulse beetle is the most harmful pest attacking stored grains and affecting quality and marketability. Continuous use of chemical-based pesticides against pulse beetle led to the development of insecticidal resistance; essential oils (EOs) can be an effective natural alternative against this pest. The main objective was to study the chemical composition of seven EOs viz., Acorus calamus, Hedychium spicatum, Lavandula angustifolia, Juniperus recurva, Juniperus communis, Cedrus deodara and Pinus wallichiana, their insecticidal and enzyme inhibition activities against pulse beetle. The primary compounds present in these EOs were cis-asarone, 1,8-cineole, linalyl isobutyrate, 2-β-pinene, camphene, α-dehydro-ar-himachalene and camphene. A. calamus oil showed promising fumigant toxicity to Callosobruchus maculatus and C. chinensis (LC50 = 1357.86 and 1379.54 µL/L, respectively). A combination of A. calamus + L. angustifolia was effective against C. maculatus and C. chinensis (LC50 = 108.58 and 92.18 µL/L, respectively). All the combinations of EOs showed synergistic activity. In the repellency study, A. calamus showed more repellence to C. maculatus and C. chinensis (RC50 = 53.98 and 118.91 µL/L, respectively). A. calamus and L. angustifolia oil at 2500, 5000 and 10,000 µL/L significantly inhibited the AChE and GST enzymes in C. maculatus and C. chinensis after 24 and 48 h.

The aim of the present work was to study the bioactivity of lemon, orange, and grapefruit peel essential oils (EOs) obtained from Argentinian plantations on different agronomically important insect and fungal species. The chemical profile of EOs was determined by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS); the insecticidal activity was studied through contact and fumigant assays; the antifungal activity was evaluated with fumigant tests. Orange EO was the most effective against Rhyzopertha dominica, Oryzaephilus spp. and Sitophilus granarius in fumigation tests (LC50= 89.39, 94.50, and 163.64 µL/L air, respectively); while the insecticidal effect of EOs was species-dependent in contact toxicity assays. Regarding antifungal activity, Rhizoctonia solanii was more susceptible than Sclerotium rolfsii to the tested EOs, with lemon from Industry 1 and orange being the most toxic EOs (MIC=10.77 µL/plate and 11.02 µL/plate, respectively). Conversely, S. rolfsii was strongly inhibited by lemon EO from Industry 2 (MIC= 52.40 µL/plate). Besides limonene, other compounds that could be responsible for these bioactivities were: linalool, carvone, α-pinene, β-pinene, β-myrcene, α-terpineol, terpinen-4-ol, limonene oxide, β-phellandrene, γ-terpinene, sabinene, neral, neryl acetate, β-caryophyllene and p-cymene. Citrus peel EOs can be used against different pests, contributing to the valorization of citrus residues.

“…Essential oils (EOs) are a possible source of novel pesticides, due to the fact that they have contact, fumigant, attractant and repellent activities against several insect pests [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. For example, the EO extracted from the aerial parts of Seriphidium brevifolium was reported to be toxic for Aedes albopictus , a vector of several human and domestic animal diseases [ 29 ], with Pimpinella anisum EOs causing toxic effects on the currant-lettuce aphid Nasonovia ribisnigri [ 30 ].…”

“…In addition, the Rosmarinus officinalis EO showed a high fumigant toxicity (Lethal concentration 95 (LC 95 ) = 54.30 μL/L) and repellent effects (RI 0. 2μL/L = −53.42 ± 12.54 μL/L) against the weevil Sitophilus zeamais [ 27 ]. Specifically, these insecticidal and repellent effects against pest insects reported for different EOs could indicate their potential value in insect control.…”

Spodoptera frugiperda is a major pest of maize crops. The application of synthetic insecticides and the use of Bt maize varieties are the principal strategies used for its control. However, due to the development of pesticide resistance and the negative impact of insecticides on the environment, natural alternatives are constantly being searched for. Accordingly, the objective of this review was to evaluate the use of essential oils (EOs) as natural alternatives for controlling S. frugiperda. This review article covers the composition of EOs, methods used for the evaluation of EO toxicity, EO effects, and their mode of action. Although the EOs of Ocimum basilicum, Piper marginatum, and Lippia alba are the most frequently used, Ageratum conyzoides, P. septuplinervium. O. gratissimum and Siparuna guianensis were shown to be the most effective. As the principal components of these EOs vary, then their mode of action on the pest could be different. The results of our analysis allowed us to evaluate and compare the potential of certain EOs for the control of this insect. In order to obtain comparable results when evaluating the toxicity of EOs on S. frugiperda, it is important that methodological issues are taken into account.
