Chemical Composition and Bioactivity of Essential Oil of <i>Atalantia guillauminii</i> against Three Species Stored Product Insects

Essential Oils in Stored Product Insect Pest Control

“…Moreover, some plants showed important insecticidal activity against tenebrionid pests. In detail, Atalantia guillauminii (Rutaceae) presented an LD 50 value of 17.11 μg/cm 2 [27] and Eucalyptus procera (Myrtaceae) an LD 50 of 0.129 μL/cm 2 [28] against T. castaneum. For tenebrionid species, which are external feeders, also the ovicidal activity of EOs has been deemed.…”

“…Among Psocoptera, L. bostrychophila was the most studied species. is species was highly repelled (over 90%) by EOs extracted from L. muscari (Asparagaceae) and D. dasycarpus (Rutaceae) at 6.32 nL/cm 2 , and good results (88% repellency) were also noted when psocids were exposed to A. guillauminii (Rutaceae) EO at 15.73 nL/cm 2 (V class repellent) [27,33,34].…”

Acute toxicity and repellent activity of essential oil from Atalantia guillauminii Swingle fruits and its main monoterpenes against two stored product insects

“…In previous studies, Yang et al reported the effect of Atalantia guillauminii leaves essential oil on the fumigation toxicity, contact toxicity and repellent activity of the T. castaneum, L. serricorne, and Liposcelis bostrychophila adults. [23] Pang et al evaluated the contact toxicity and repellent effects of Atalantia buxifolia (Poir).Oliv. leaves essential oil and its main compositions, β-caryophyllene and caryophyllene oxide, on the adults of T. castaneum, L. serricorne, and L. bostrychophila.…”

Volatile chemical composition of Piper sancti-felicis Trel essential oil and its biocidal action against Tribolium castaneum (Herbst)

“…However, most of these are in no case beneficial for the environment and the health of animals and humans, besides causing for adverse effects such as pesticide residue in the environment, food, impact on non-target species, low degradation, bioaccumulation, resistance in insects and management risks, among others (Arredondo, Hurtado, & Castañeda, 2011;Daglish, Nayak, Pavic, & Smith, 2015). Due to the above, there is a global interest in the search for alternatives to replace chemical pesticides in order to reduce the consequences caused by them; currently, a growing trend towards the use of plant products has emerged, the most outstanding of which is the current research in essential oils and their components on account of their fumigant action, as well as other advantages over conventional products in terms of rapid degradation, local availability and low toxicity to mammals, among others (Guo et al, 2015;Yang et al, 2015;Liang et al, 2017).…”

“…This has led to the active search for available alternatives in order to replace synthetic pesticides. The use of biopesticides for insect control in cereal storage has grown worldwide (Pimentel, Faroni, Tótola, & Guedes, 2007;Opit et al, 2012), through the use of essential oils as botanical pesticides (Jaya, Prakash, & Dubey, 2014;Yang et al, 2015;Hu, Wang, Dai, & Zhu, 2019;Baccari et al, 2020). These have different modes of action on insects, in terms of promoting toxicity, mortality, anti-feeding activity, growth inhibition, the suppression of reproductive behavior and a reduction in fecundity and fertility, among others (Isman, 2006;Zarrad, Hamouda, Chaieb, Laarif, & Jemâa, 2015).…”
