“…The fumigant toxicity of α-pinene to insect pests has been confirmed, such as Hypothenemus hampei [53], Sitophilus granarius [54] and Callosobruchus chinensis [55]. And it has been reported that essential oils of 10 species of Myrtaceae were toxic to T. castaneum in the fumigation, all of which contained α-pinene within a range of 0.2% -32.5% [56]. Besides, β-myrcene was toxic to T. castaneum (LC50 = 21.91 mg/L air) but failed to cause mortality of L. serricorne and L. bostrychophila at the maximum testing concentration used.…”

The aim of this work was to evaluate the bioactivities of Peucedanum terebinthaceum (Fisch.) Fisch. ex Turcz. essential oil and its three second rich constituents against Tribolium castaneum Herbst, Lasioderma serricorne Fabricius and Liposcelis bostrychophila Badonnel. The essential oil from aerial part of P. terebinthaceum was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Thirty-three constituents were confirmed by GC-MS, which accounting for 91.5% of the total oil. The principal constituents included β-thujene (21.4%), β-terpinene (11.8%), germacrene D (9.4%) and dihydro-cis-α-copaene-8-ol (8.0%). Besides, β-myrcene (6.2%), Linalyl isovalerate (4.3%), α-pinene (4.0%), caryophyllene (3.6%), (Z)α-farnesene (3.6%) and β-elemene (3.0%) were also detected in relatively lower content. The essential oil possessed promising potential in pest control, as it showed strong contact toxicity and repellent effects on T. castaneum and L. serricorne. Three major constituents α-pinene, caryophyllene and β-myrcene were toxic to three insect species in contact assays and showed repellent effects on T. castaneum and L. bostrychophila. This work revealed the insecticidal capacity of P. terebinthaceum and would provide some information for the development of new strategies in the control of insect pests.

Despite an ancient and well‐established use of insects in traditional medicine, our understanding of their bioactive compounds (entomochemicals) lags far behind that of medicinal plants (phytochemicals). In this review, we focus particularly on insect–plant interactions, to examine the possible dependence of the medicinal properties of insects on phytochemicals that they bioaccumulate or chemically modify. We suggest that a cross‐disciplinary approach including ethnobiology, insect ecology and phytochemistry can provide new opportunities in bioprospecting. Such opportunities lie not only in identifying medicinal entomochemicals that are based on phytochemical accumulation or modification but also on using insects as bioindicators of what plants may contain novel phytochemicals that have not yet been studied. Firstly, evidence is drawn from the international literature on the medicinal use of insects, many of which have pharmacological properties now well established in the Western scientific paradigm. Secondly, we highlight the value of a cross‐disciplinary approach to bioprospecting in an Australian context, where records of traditional Aboriginal use of medicinal insects are scant. Particularly, we explore the Aboriginal use of Lepidoptera as a case study, including witchetty grubs, hawkmoths and processionary caterpillars. We conclude that opportunities remain to connect traditional, ecological and chemical knowledge for biodiscovery, in collaboration with Indigenous communities. Ultimately, the success of any such endeavour is dependent on the successful conservation management of insect biodiversity into the future.

“…An additional persistent concern is that productivity gains and control of phytopathogenic bacteria are linked to the pesticide use, while its indiscriminate use is associated with increased environmental damage and risks to human health. (CARNEIRO et al, 2015;SOUZA et al, 2017;SIDDIQUE et al, 2017;REYNOSO et al, 2019).…”

The use of hazardous chemicals has become a common practice to control diseases that affect agricultural production. In this scenario, society is challenged to increase food availability while reducing pesticide use, which causes damage to health and the environment. In this sense, essential oils appear as a promising alternative to reduce the use of pesticides, since they are plant-derived compounds. This study aimed to identify the main chemical components and evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial potential of essential oils of the Brazilian species Elionurus latiflorus and the exotic species Cymbopogon flexuosus against the phytopathogenic bacteria Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli, Ralstonia solanacearum, Pectobacterium carotovorum pv. carotovorum and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato. The main component identified of the essential oils was citral at the concentrations 65.38% for E. latiflorus and 71.6% for C. citratus. The analysis of the antibacterial activity of the essential oils showed effect against all bacteria analyzed when compared to the antibiotic gentamicin. The antibiotic produced inhibition zone diameters from 11.30 to 20.67 mm, while the essential oils produced the inhibition zones from 51.22 to 90 mm and pure citral around 86 mm. MIC values for essential oils were found between 25 and 200 µL/mL and MBC between 100 and 400 µL/mL. The study showed that the oils have inhibitory effect on the microorganisms tested.
