“…In a similar study using basil oil against the lepidopteran polyphagous pest, Spodoptera littoralis it was found that the LC 50 and LC 90 values were 1.17 and 9.08%, respectively (Mead, 2018). Manzoor et al (2012) reported the LC 50 of eucalyptus and citronella oil as 4.81 and 3.39%, respectively against Periplanata americana. In the present investigation, much lower dose of essential oil was used.…”

Contact, repellent and antifeedant bioassays of essential oils (EO’s) viz., basil oil and citronella oil were evaluated against hadda beetle Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata (F) in brinjal. Based on the results of leaf dip bioassay, the LC50 and LC90 values of basil oil and citronella oil were 1.25% and 2.85%, 0.93% and 1.52%, respectively at 24 hrs after treatment (HAT). While the corresponding LC50 and LC90 values at 48 HAT were 0.85% and 1.70%, 0.63% and 1.14%, respectively. Repellent and antifeedant effect of the chosen essential oils were also evaluated by modified preference method and no choice method, respectively. At 0.5 to 1% concentration, both basil and citronella oil showed 90-100% repellence at 30 and 60 min of treatment. 100% antifeedant effect was also observed at the same concentration (0.5 to 1%) for both the EO’s at 24 HAT. GC-FID/GC-MS analysis of basil and citronella oil revealed that the predominant component of basil oil was methyl chavicol (75.73%), followed by linalool (18.21%) and cuprenene (1.58%); in citronella oil, geranial (64.77%) was the most predominant component followed by citronellyl acetate (7.92%), geraniol (7.08%), (Z) iso citral (5.29%) and neral (3.60%).

“…Eucalyptus is currently one of the essential oils that is often used as an insecticide [14,15]. One type of eucalyptus, Eucalyptus citriodora, has been tested several times and proven to be quite effective against several types of insects, namely Anopheles gambiae [16], Aedes aegypti [17], Tribolium castaneum [18], Myzus persicae [19], Frankliniella schultzei [19], Plutella xylostella [20], Sitophilus oryzae [21], Lutzomyia longipalpis [22], termites [23], and Periplaneta americana [24]. However, currently not much information has been found regarding the testing of E. citridora against D. bisaltidae, so that in this study it will be studied further.…”

Toxicological Study of Eucalyptus citriodora on Doleschallia bisaltidae as a primary pest of Graptophyllum pictum, was carried out at the Entomology laboratory, ISMECRI, Bogor from January to March 2021. The research consisted of a toxicology study of E. citrodora and larva survival rate of D. bisaltidae. The toxicology study was carried out by direct spray to 3rd instar larva (contact) and spraying the leaves (residual). The study was designed in a completely randomized design with 3 replications and 6 treatments consisting of Eucalyptus oil concentration: (1) 20%; (2) 10%; (3) 5%; (4) 2.5%; (5) 1.25% and (6) control/water determined through a ranging test first. Contact application: thirty larva were sprayed with each treatment, then placed in a plastic box where ten larva were fed with fresh Graptophyllum leaves. Residual application: five treated Graptophyllum leaves were placed in a plastic box, then filled with ten larva each. Observations were carried out every day. The results showed that Eucalyptus LC50 value by contact was 0.0584 (Y = 8.39 + 2.75X), more toxic than that applied residually with an LC50 value of 3.9487 (Y = 4.51 + 0.81X). The survival rate of larva to imago was higher in the residual treatment compared to the contact.

“…There have been a large number of reports that some EOs exhibited strong repellent activity against P. americana adults: Boesenbergia rotunda, Citrus hysteric, Cymbopogon citratus, C. nardus, Curcuma longa, Eucalyptus citriodora, Jatropha curcas, Litsea cubeba, Mentha arvensis, Piper nigrum, Psidium guajava, Syzygium aromaticum, and Zingiber o cinale [18][19][20][21] . In addition, a combination of E. globulus + Rosmarinus o cinalis EOs showed a stronger insecticidal effect against adults P. americana than that of each individual EO 16 .…”

Natural ovicidal and repellent agents against Periplaneta americana are in urgent need, and plant essential oils (EOs) can assume this role quite readily. In this study, ovicidal and repellent activities against Periplaneta americana of EOs from Cymbopogon citratus, Cinnamomum verum, Eucalyptus globulus, Illicium verum, and Zanthoxylum limonella in soybean oil and in ethyl alcohol were determined by topical and dual-choice assays, as well as 10% cypermethrin and a combined formulation of 5% C. verum EO + 5% I. verum EO. Cypermethrin at 10% provided the highest toxicity (100% inhibition rate) against the eggs, but only slightly higher than that (99.3%) provided by the combined EO formulation, while the highest repellent activity against the adults was provided by the combined formulation (89.5% repelled cockroaches at 48 h after treatment). In addition, all EO formulations in soybean oil provided higher ovicidal and repellent activities than in ethyl alcohol. To conclude, the combined EO formulation in soybean oil can replace cypermethrin because their efficacy was nearly equivalent, but the combination should be much safer to use.
