“…We showed that EOs of anise and fennel were rich in phenylpropanoid trans-anethol and dill EO was rich in oxygenated monoterpene carvone and monoterpene hydrocarbons α-phellandrene and limonene. High toxicity and antifeeding activity in insect pests are induced by major compounds of anise, dill and fennel EOs: trans-anethol [ 93 , 94 , 95 ] and carvone [ 53 , 96 , 97 , 98 ]. It has been suggested that oxygenated compounds provide higher insecticidal activity than monoterpene hydrocarbons [ 99 ].…”

The gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)) is a serious pest of hardwood forests. In the search for an environmentally safe means of its control, we assessed the impact of different concentrations of essential oils (EOs) from the seeds of three Apiaceae plants (anise Pimpinella anisum, dill Anethum graveolens, and fennel Foeniculum vulgare) on behavior, mortality, molting and nutritional physiology of gypsy moth larvae (GML). EOs efficacy was compared with commercial insecticide NeemAzal®-T/S (neem). The main compounds in the Eos were trans-anethole in anise; carvone, limonene, and α-phellandrene in dill; and trans-anethole and fenchone in fennel seed. At 1% EOs concentration, anise and fennel were better antifeedants and all three EOs were more toxic than neem. Neem was superior in delaying 2nd to 3rd larval molting. In the 4th instar, 0.5%, anise and fennel EOs decreased relative consumption rate more than neem, whereas all three EOs were more effective in reducing growth rate, approximate digestibility and efficiency of conversion of food into body mass leading to higher metabolic costs to GML. Decrease in consumption and metabolic parameters compared to control GML confirmed that adverse effects of the EOs stem from both pre- and post-ingestive mechanisms. The results indicate the potential of three EOs to be used for gypsy moth control.

“…The essential oils do not constitute a threat to the environment or to human health, and so they have been portrayed as a possible alternative to synthetic insecticides [38]. The essential oils are volatile hydrocarbon mixtures, which have a variety of functional groups [31]. These oils are derived from secondary plant metabolism and play a key role in their development, both directly, through the defense of the plant against microorganisms and herbivores [31].…”

These oils are derived from secondary plant metabolism and play a key role in their development, both directly, through the defense of the plant against microorganisms and herbivores [31]. Many authors [39,40,41] have described the essential oils to be composed of substances from various chemical groups, such as terpenes (monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes), phenylpropanoids, alcohols, esters, aldehydes, ketones, among others.…”

“…C. winterianus extracts have shown repellency and substantial control capacity against many species from different insect orders, such as Spodoptera exigua Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) [30,31], Anopheles gambiae (Insecta: Culicidae) [32], and Callosobruchus maculatus Fabricius (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) [33], the former being an important stored product pest. On the other hand, O. basilicum has confronted several storage pests, such as Sithopilus zeamais Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [34] and Rhyzoperta dominica Fabricius (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) [35], but does not show insecticidal activity against Coleoptera, a species belonging to other insect orders, such as S. exigua [31].…”

Insecticidal Properties of Ocimum basilicum and Cymbopogon winterianus against Acanthoscelides obtectus, Insect Pest of the Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, L.)

The bean weevil, Acanthoscelides obtectus Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae), causes severe post-harvest losses in the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L. The control of this insect is still poor and involves the use of conventional insecticides. There is an increasing demand in the search for new active substances and products for pest control towards reduction of adverse effects on human health and the environment. The protection of grains with alternative products, such as essential oils, is a possible alternative to meet the needs described above. Therefore, this investigation evaluated the applications of basil, Ocimum basilicum, and citronella, Cymbopogon winterianus, essential oils for A. obtectus control. These essential oils significantly reduced the bean weight losses and the number of beans damaged by A. obtectus at higher doses than 60 or 120 μL/sample. The number of holes per bean did not differ between the doses of basil essential oil, not even at the dose of 60 μL, while it was higher at 120 μL, probably due to a lower capacity of movement of the insects treated with this dose and/or the oil’s direct or indirect effects on the insects. Basil and citronella oils exhibited similar patterns of insecticidal activity over the insect, both directly in adult insects or indirectly over bean seeds. These essential oils affected the development of A. obtectus since the greatest doses applied on beans decreased the emergence of the bean weevil. The results prove the insecticidal capacity of the tested essential oils and hence their potential as active substances against A. obtectus in environmentally low risk pest control strategies. Supplementary trials should be conducted under real storage conditions.

Acanthoscelides obtectus Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae), is an insect pest that attacks wild and cultivated common beans, Phaseolus vulgaris L. To control insect plagues, it is a priority to choose compounds with different modes of action, with greater selectivity and less persistence. There is an increasing demand in the search for new active substances and natural plant products for pest control for the reduction of adverse effects on human health and environment. Therefore, this investigation evaluated under laboratory conditions, three doses (24, 60 and 120 μL) of Cymbopogon winterianuss and Ocimum basilicum essential oils over bean seeds placed in Petri dish in which A. obtectus insects were added before. Treatments of bean seeds with different doses of essential oils provided different survival on A. obtectus adults. The essential oils affected the development of A. obtectus insects since the greatest doses applied on beans decreased the emergence of the bean weevil. Also, reduced the number of exit holes of insects by damaged beans and the vean weight los, from 2,987% in control treatment, to 1,014% and 1,221% with the dose 120 μL of C. winterianuss and O. basilicum, respectively. The ability of both doses of C. winterianuss and O. basilicum to reduce their longevity, their subsequent emergence from insects, and protect the bean seeds, make these essential oils a suitable tool for the control of adults of this insect pest in small storages.
