“…Chemical control of N. elegantalis is hampered by the larval habit of penetrating the fruits soon after hatching (Fragoso et al, 2021), and alternative methods should be sought for the management of the pest. Arcanjo et al (2021) developed a decision-making system for the management of N. elegantalis, based on sequential sampling plans for eggs, according to insecticide spraying methods and tomato plant stages.…”

“…Arcanjo et al (2021) developed a decision-making system for the management of N. elegantalis, based on sequential sampling plans for eggs, according to insecticide spraying methods and tomato plant stages. Fragoso et al (2021) evaluated the activity of four plant extracts on different stages of N. elegantalis, of which only aqueous extracts of commercial rope tobacco Nicotiana tabacum showed insecticidal activity. In Colombia, four distinct races of N. elegantalis associated to the different larval hosts were recorded (Díaz-Montilla et al, 2018); the authors suggest that these hybrids can be potentially useful for the management of N. elegantalis, since they showed reproductive incompatibility which resulted in low survival rates and consequently low densities in the field.…”

“…The extracts displayed a good activity with 50% of C. cautella eggs not hatching at 10.000 ppm (1%) [24]. Recently, [25] have estimated the biological activity of plant extracts on the small tomato borer Neoleucinodes elegantalis. The rope tobacco extract was then selected to assess its effectiveness not only on eggs and the prepupal stage.…”

The use of aqueous extracts as alternative solutions that significantly reduce to the damage caused by pests like Ectomyelois ceratoniae. This work presents in-vitro tests that are successfully applied to evaluate the ovicidal activity of four spontaneous plants aqueous extracts, as, Rosmarinus officinalis, Peganum harmala, Thymus vulgaris and Artemisia herbaalba againt the moth eggs. The results showed a highly significant effect for T. vulgaris and A. herba-alba, sometimes reaching 100%, followed by R. officinalis, then P. harmala which was not present any effect on this pest eggs. T. vulgaris and A. herba-alba showed a strong inhibition of egg hatching. It exceeds 93 % mortality for a concentration of 0.12 mL/mL. For R. officinalis at 0.18 mL/mL concentration present a 72% mortality. While at 0.12 mL/mL, the mortality was 40%. The lethal doses to inhibit 50 and 90 % of the eggs were estimated to confirm the efficiency of the aqueous extracts , stronger results shows, respectively (0.014 mL and 0.062 mL) from T. vulgaris and (0.019 mL and 0.069 mL) from A. herba-alba. This work originally explores the benefits of some kinds of plants that are largely available and inexpensive for the biotreatment of carob moth eggs.

The coffee red mite [Oligonychus ilicis (McGregor, 1917)] (Prostigmata: Tetranychidae) is one of the main causes of conilon coffee (Coffea canephora Pierre & Froehn) crop damage due to its phytophagous habit. Nowadays, environment and human harmful synthetic pesticides are used to control this pest. In this context, plant-derived bioactive compounds have been studied as a sustainable alternative for the pest mite management in crops. The aim of this study was to evaluate the castor (Ricinus communis) seed oil action on eggs, larvae, nymph (protonymph and deutonymph) and adults of O. ilicis. Coffee leaf discs (4 cm in diameter) containing 12 individuals of O. ilicis were sprayed with castor seed oil at concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0% (v/v) using airbrush. The ovicidal and mortality activity of this extract were evaluated against O. ilicis. The effective concentration of castor oil to cause 50% inhibition of O. ilicis larvae hatching (LC 50) was 1.26% (v/v). Oligonychus ilicis treated with this oil at a concentration of 3.0% presented a larvae hatching percentage of 29.3%, lower than that obtained for the control treatment (79.1%). Castor seed oil 3.0% (v/v) was highly toxic to nymphs and adults of O. ilicis with mortality of 96 and 88%, respectively. Castor seed oil was effective for larvae hatching inhibition and nymphs and adults mortality of O. ilicis, being promising for the coffee red mite sustainable biocontrol.
