“…In previous works, powders and other parts of C. camphora essential oils have been evaluated for bioactivities against agricultural as well as stored product insects [12,13,14,17,18,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39]. The selected constituents also showed bioactivities and reflected the compositional complexity in bioactivity of natural mixtures [40].…”

“…In previous research, C. camphora extracts have shown many kinds of bioactivities against T. castaneum , such as the contact activity [12,13], the fumigant activity [14], the repellent activity [12,14], as well as progeny suppression [13,14]. However, those studies only tested the bioactivities of powders/essential oils from C. camphora aerial parts and seldom mentioned the bioactive compounds from them.…”

To investigate the chemical composition and insecticidal activity of the essential oils of certain Chinese medicinal herbs and spices, the essential oils were extracted from the stem barks, leaves, and fruits of Cinnamomum camphora (L.) Presl, which were found to possess strong fumigant toxicity against Tribolium castaneum and Lasioderma serricorne adults. The essential oils of the plants were extracted by the method of steam distillation using a Clavenger apparatus. Their composition was determined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometric (GC-MS) analyses (HP-5MS column), and their insecticidal activity was measured by seal-spaced fumigation. D-camphor (51.3%), 1,8-cineole (4.3%), and α-terpineol (3.8%), while D-camphor (28.1%), linalool (22.9%), and 1,8-cineole (5.3%) were the main constituents of its fruits. The essential oils of the C. camphora all showed fumigant and contact toxicity. Other compounds exhibited various levels of bioactivities. The results indicate that the essential oils of C. camphora and its individual compounds can be considered a natural resource for the two stored-product insect management.

“…Furthermore, the repellent activity was increased when insects were exposed for a longer time (Table 3). Complete repellency was only observed when the highest concentration (0.4 μL cm -2 ) was applied for 4 h. To the best of our knowledge, no study has previously been reported on the repellency activity of L. camara against stored product pests; however, essential oils from other plants have been previously evaluated for their repellent activity against Acanthoscelides obtectus (Papachristos and Stamopoulos, 2002) Bruchus rufimanus (Liu et al, 2006), Callosobruchus maculatus (Tripathi et al, 2009) and T. castaneum (Tripathi et al, 2009;Zapata and Smagghe, 2010). In all of mentioned studies, essential oils showed considerable repellent activity on insects.…”

Lantana camara L. is a widespread plant species mostly native to subtropical and tropical regions of the world. In this study, insecticidal and repellent activities of L. camara essential oil were evaluated against Callosobruchus maculatus (Fabricius) (Col: Bruchidae). Analysis of chemical composition by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) showed high amounts of sesquiterpenes, mainly α-humelene (23.3%) and cis-caryophyllene (16.2%). The results showed that the essential oil of L. camara has strong repellent activity against adults of C. maculatus at all tested concentrations. After 2 and 4 h, 97.4 and 100% repellency was seen at highest concentrations of 0.4 μL cm -2 , respectively. Moreover, the oil was found to be toxic to adults when applied by fumigation. Responses varied with the gender of insect and exposure time. The LC50 values were 282.7 and 187.9 μL L -1 for females and males, respectively. An increase in the exposure time from 3 to 24 h caused increasing in mortality from 23.6 to 100% in males and from 14.1 to 97.1% in females, at highest concentration (1160 μL L -1 ). According to these results, L. camara essential oil may be useful as an alternative for bean protection against C. maculatus.

“…Considerando a grande diversidade de plantas existentes no Brasil, de um total estimado entre 350 e 550 mil espécies, estudos tem sido desenvolvidos na expectativa de se encontrarem substâncias com propriedades inseticidas, alterando um pouco o enfoque da fitoquímica tradicional, em que, as plantas são amplamente usadas nas indústrias farmacêuticas e nas indústrias de perfumes e cosméticos (TRIPATHI et al, 2009 …”

Resumo: Os extratos vegetais atualmente representam uma alternativa importante no controle de insetos-praga. Objetivou-se com este trabalho analisar os efeitos de extratos aquosos de folhas de pimenta malagueta (Capsicum frutescens) e eucalipto (Eucalyptus sp.) sobre Zabrotes subfasciatus em fava. Foram realizados dois bioensaios no laboratório de Entomologia, Departamento de Biologia, Centro de Ciências da Natureza da Universidade Federal do Piauí, em delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, totalizando cinco tratamentos [0% (testemunha), 30%, 60%, 80% e 100 %], cada um com quatro repetições, onde os parâmetros, número de insetos mortos, número de ovos e emergência de adultos foram avaliados. O extrato aquoso de folhas de pimenta malagueta não foi eficiente contra o caruncho Z. subfasciatus, pois, houve mortalidade média de 20% dos insetos nas concentrações de 80 e 100%, e com o aumento da concentração teve-se um estímulo a oviposição e emergência destes. O extrato aquoso de folhas de Eucalyptus sp. foi eficiente sobre a mortalidade, oviposição e emergência de Z. subfasciatus, com o aumento da concentração observou-se maior mortalidade, atingindo 40% dos indivíduos; redução da oviposição, 13% em relação a testemunha e as demais concentrações, e emergência dos besouros. Palavras-chave:Phaseolus lunatus L., grãos armazenados, inseticidas botânicos. Abstract:The plant extracts currently represent an important alternative in the control of insect pests. The objective of this paper was to analyze the effects of aqueous extracts of leaves of chilli pepper (Capsicum frutescens) and eucalyptus (Eucalyptus sp.) on Zabrotes subfasciatus in fava. Two bioassays were performed in the entomology laboratory, Department of Biology, Nature Sciences Center of the Federal University of Piauí, in a completely randomized experimental design, totaling five treatments [(0% (control), 30%, 60%, 80% and 100%], each one with four replicates, where the parameters, number of dead insects, number of eggs and emergence of adults were evaluated. The aqueous extract of leaves of chilli pepper was not efficient against the weevil Z. subfasciatus, because, there was an average mortality of 20% of the insects in the concentrations of 80 and 100%, and with the increase of the concentration there was a stimulus to oviposition and emergence. The aqueous extract of leaves of Eucalyptus sp. was efficient on the mortality, oviposition and emergence of Z. subfasciatus, with the increase in concentration, a higher mortality was observed, reaching 40% of the individuals; reduction of oviposition, 13% in relation to control and other concentrations, and emergence of beetles.
