“…EOs have shown toxic, repellent and antifeedant effects on stored product insects (Isman, 2006;Regnault-Roger et al, 2012, 1997 Fabricius, Sitophilus oryzae L. and Sitophilus zeamais Motsch. (Benzi et al, 2014(Benzi et al, , 2009Papachristos et al, 2004;Singh et al, 2012;Stefanazzi, et al, 2011). Only limited efforts have focused on Lepidopteran pests such as Sitotroga cerealella Olivier, Corcyra cephalonica Stainton and P. interpunctella.…”

Essential oils (EOs) have been recognized as an important source of biopesticides. This work investigated the chemical constituents and bioactivity of six essential oils namely lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.), peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), geranium (Geranium maculatum L.), palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii (Roxb.) Wats), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus Labill.) and bergamot (Citrus bergamia Risso) against adults of the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella, a cosmopolitan pest that infests a wide range of stored products. Analysis by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) revealed the presence of several compounds, mainly mono-and sesquiterpenes. The contact toxicity assay showed that the EO from palmarosa was the most toxic with a LD50 value of 22.8 µg cm-2. The toxicity order was palmarosa > geranium > peppermint > lavender > bergamot >eucalyptus. In fumigant toxicity assay, the greatest effect was found with the EO from eucalyptus with a KT50 value of 8.34 min. The toxicity order was eucalyptus > peppermint >geranium = lavender > bergamot > palmarosa. The EO from palmarosa showed the highest residual activity when the insects were exposure to its volatiles constituents. Finally, all EOs produce sublethal activity promoting effects in the fecundity. In conclusion, the EOs could be used as potential biopesticides for P. interpunctella control.

“…The LC 50 values of L. citriodora and L. polystachya essential oils against N. viridula were 29.9 and 13.5 mg/l 24 h after treatment, respectively (González et al, 2010). In the same work, L. citriodora and L. polystachya essential oils also exhibited significant fumigant toxicity against T. confusum with LC 50 values of 5.53 and 5.92 mg/l but there was not significant toxicity on the adults of T. castaneum (Benzi et al, 2014). In the other study, Khani et al (2012) revealed that L. citriodora essential oil, with citral (11.3%), limonene (10.6%), and neral (7.9%) as main components, had significant fumigant toxicity on the adults of cowpea weevil (Callosobruchus maculatus (F.)) and the confused flour beetle (Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val).…”

The lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.), and the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), are among broad-based damaging insect pests of agricultural stored products. Because of several side-effects of conventional chemical insecticides to the human health, non-target organisms, and environment, searching for and introducing healthy, inexpensive, accessible and efficient agents is necessary. In the present study, chemical profiles and fumigant toxicity of the essential oils isolated from L. citriodora against R. dominica and T. castaneum were evaluated. Chemical compositions of L. citriodora essential oils from two different Iranian regions including Germi and Parsabad was evaluated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and it was found that the terpenic compounds such as caryophyllene oxide, citral, limonene, and neral has the high amount in both oil. Some components such as sabinene, sulcatone, and β-ocimene were only identified in the essential oil from Germi region while some others such as verbenone, camphor, borneol with considerable amount in Parsabad region had not any trace in Germi' origin essential oil. The results of bioassays showed that the essential oils of L. citriodora from both regions had significant fumigant toxicity against the adults of R. dominica and T. castaneum. In general, essential oils' concentrations and exposure times had direct positive effects on the observed mortality. According to the results of present study, the terpene rich L. citriodora essential oils from two Iranian regions (Germi and Parsabad) have a high potential for the management of R. dominica and T. castaneum.

The toxicity by contact of the A. citrodora EO (LD 50 = 13.8 µg EO insect −1 after 72 h) was also demonstrated against adults of the storedproduct pest Tribolium castaneum Herbst (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) by Benzi et al [58].…”

Blowflies are vectors of microorganisms and human pathogens, and their maggots cause myiasis in vertebrates and infest and spoil meat and fish products. Essential oils (EOs) from spices were proven to be a safer and more sustainable alternative to synthetic insecticides for the control of blowflies and are suitable for protecting food from such pests. However, some EOs are not acceptable for environmental or topical applications due to their strong, unpleasant odour. In this study, we measured the acute toxicity and the repellence of two EOs extracted from the Andean plants Aloysia citrodora Palau and Bursera graveolens (Kunth) Triana and Planch., both known for their pleasant odour, against the blue blowfly Calliphora vomitoria (L.) (Diptera: Calliphoridae). We also compared their bioactivity with that of the Allium sativum L. EO, which is very effective but bad-smelling. The A. citrodora EO was mainly rich in oxygenated monoterpenes, the most abundant of which were geranial (26.8%) and neral (21.0%). The B. graveolens EO was chiefly composed of monoterpene hydrocarbons, mostly represented by limonene (46.2%). According to the sensory description, the best odour profile was associated with the A. citrodora EO, while the olfactory expression of the EO from B. graveolens was negatively affected by a strong odour of “mouldy lemon”. The behavioural test showed that the A. citrodora EO was more repellent than that of A. sativum and, on the contrary, that the B. graveolens EO was attractive. The toxicity tests showed that the EOs of both Andean plants have a clear toxic effect on the C. vomitoria eggs and adults. In terms of ovicidal activity, there were no significant differences among the effects of the three tested EOs. On the adult flies, the toxicity of the two EOs of the Andean plants was much lower than that of A. sativum (LC50 fumigation = 1.86 μL EO L−1 air; LC50 ingestion = 8.10 μL EO mL−1 gel) both by fumigation (LC50 = 23.66 and 25.30 μL EO L−1 air for A. citrodora and B. graveolens, respectively) and ingestion (LC50 = 36.65 and 44.97 μL EO mL−1 gel for A. citrodora and B. graveolens, respectively), while, by contact, the A. citrodora EO (LD50 = 0.27 μL EO insect−1) was more toxic than the A. sativum EO (LD50 = 0.46 μL EO insect−1).
