“…Indeed, P. xylostella is the insect with the most records of resistance, with 1022 cases registered for 101 compounds (Mota-Sanchez & Wise, 2024). To hinder the occurrence of resistance and facilitate the management of P. xylostella, the possibility of its control by botanical insecticides has been investigated (Reddy et al, 2015;Araujo et al, 2020;Song et al, 2022).…”

Botanical derivatives constitute an important option for the reduction in the use of synthetic insecticides for the management of agricultural pests. The larval form of the diamond back moth, Plutella xylostella, is one of the main pests of the family Brassica and is resistant to synthetic insecticides. The aim of the present study was to test the potential of commercially available essential oils (EOs) from the genus Mentha on P. xylostella. EOs from M. arvensis, M. spicata and M. piperita were investigated. Topical toxicity and residual contact toxicity tests were conducted, along with the assessment of biological parameters, feeding deterrence and repellency. Phytotoxicity to Brassica leaves was also investigated. The oil from M. piperita was the most toxic to P. xylostella by topical contact, whereas the oil from M. spicata was the most toxic by residual contact. Overall, the Mentha oils were more toxic by topical contact than residual contact. The EOs from M. arvensis and M. spicata significantly altered the weight of the pupae and larval survival. All Mentha oils tested caused feeding deterrence in P. xylostella. The EO from M. piperita exhibited persistent repellence over time compared to the other EOs. The oils administered at the maximum doses tested did not cause phytotoxicity to Brassica leaves. The present results demonstrate the potential of essential oils from plants of the genus Mentha, altering biological and behavioral aspects of P. xylostella.

“…Many studies have focused on the insecticidal properties and antifeeding activities of larvae and oviposition deterrent effects on female moths. For example, the EOs from Artemisia lavandulaefolia, Acorus calamus, Cedrus deodara, Murraya koenigii, Ocimum basilicum, and Pelargonium graveolens have high insecticidal and repellent activities and strongly inhibit the feeding and growth of larvae [40][41][42]. Additionally, the extracts of Ageratum conyzoides, Rosmarinus officinalis, Mentha piperita, and Datura stramonium were reported to strongly inhibit the egg-laying of female moths [43][44][45].…”

The pest management of Plutella xylostella, the global pest of cruciferous plants, is primarily dependent upon continued applications of insecticides, which has led to severe insecticide resistance and a series of ecological concerns. The essential oils (EOs) of non-host plants are considered to have a high application potential in pest behavioral control. In P. xylostella, the insecticidal properties, antifeeding activities, and oviposition inhibition effects of many EOs have been studied in larvae and female moths. However, less focus has been placed on the inhibitory effect on sex pheromone communication during courtship, which is vital for the reproduction of the offspring. In this study, by combining electrophysiological studies, laboratory behavioral assays, and field traps, we demonstrated that non-host plant EOs significantly inhibited the reproductive behaviors of both sexes. Notably, the calamus (Acorus gramineus) EO inhibited the preference of male moths for synthetic sex pheromone blends and reduced the egg-laying number of female moths on host plants, with the highest inhibition rates of 72% and 100%, respectively, suggesting a great application prospect of calamus and its EO on the behavioral control strategies of P. xylostella.

“…Recently, research interest has been directed toward plant-based insecticides, since many plants contain several bioactive metabolites with pest control properties [10,11]. Regarding phytochemicals, EOs and/or their main bioactive components, particularly monoterpenes, have exhibited considerable pesticidal properties against stored grain insects and represent novel candidates for pest control strategies with minimal side effects [2,3,6,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Plant EOs seem appropriate as pest control tools because the majority degrade rapidly in the environment into non-toxic products, hence have low or non-target effects and are safe for mammals and the ecosystem [10,11].…”

In order to search for bio-rational and eco-friendly pest control agents to protect crops from insect infestation, while avoiding the toxic hazards of chemical pesticides, essential oils (EOs) were hydrodistilled from Juniperus procera and Thymus vulgaris and analyzed using gas chromatography–flame ionization detection (GC–FID), and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Eugenol (71.3%), β-caryophyllene (11.8%), and α-pinene (6.1%) were isolated as the major components of J. procera EO, whereas thymol (58.1%), p-cymen (10.3%), and carvacrol (8.3%) were the main terpenes in T. vulgaris EO. The EOs and terpenes exhibited considerable bioactivity against the khapra beetle using the contact and fumigation bioassays, where T. vulgaris EO was superior in bioactivity. Among the terpenes tested, carvacrol and eugenol were superior. Regarding contact toxicity using impregnated filter paper and after 24 h of exposure, the LC50 values ranged between 21.4 and 77.0 µL/cm2 against larvae and between 16.1 and 69.6 µL/cm2 against adults. After 48 h, these values decreased remarkably. Upon fumigation and after 48 h of exposure, the LC50 values ranged between 23.0 and 65.3 µL/L against larvae, and from 14.2 to 56.4 µL/L against adults. The botanicals effectively inhibited the acetylcholinesterase activity of the larvae; however, they were safe for the earthworm E. fetida and did not alter the viability of wheat grains. There is a potential for using these botanicals to control T. granarium. However, further investigations are needed to confirm the safety of these phytochemicals before use as grain protectants on a commercial scale.
