The rice weevil Sitophilus oryzae is a major stored grain pest infesting many grains in storage mainly wheat, rice and maize. Toxic effects of certain extracted botanical essential oils (EOs) were evaluated against the adults of Sitophilus oryzae (Linnaeus) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Bioassays were carried out by fumigation and guide tables were presented to show the effective range of concentrations of each of the evaluated essential oils and their corresponding mean number of responded insects. The essential oil of fennel (seeds) (Foeniculum vulgare) did not show any toxic effect up to the concentration of 300 µl/370 ml air and Common Sage (Marmaria leaves) (Salvia officinalis) up to 250 µl/370 ml air during the first 48 hrs then they showed a very weak effect. The essential oil of spearmint leaves (Mentha spicata L.) was the utmost toxic and had a lowest LC 50s calculated by 4.43, 3.88 and 3.27 µl/370 ml air after different exposure periods of 24, 48 and 72 hrs, respectively, followed by the essential oil of clove (Syzygium aromaticum) (382.62, 79.95 and 9.23 µl/370 ml air, in respect). In this concern, clove showed its higher toxicity after 72 hrs. The mortality of the exposed adults to EOs increased with the increase of concentrations and time of exposure to each one. The calculated values of toxicity index showed that the essential oil of mint was the most toxic EO (100%) followed by clove (35.43%). Moreover, log (dose)/N.E.D. (response) (Ld-p) regression lines for certain bio assayed botanical essential oils against S. oryzae were also illustrated. Therefore, it could be recommended that the essential oils of spearmint leaves and clove buds could be used to control the rice weevil, S. oryzae.

“…Several species from this genus are economically relevant because, apart from their ability to infect and cause tissue destruction on important crops such as corn, wheat and other small grains on the field, they produce mycotoxins on the crops in the field and in storage grains (Makun et al, 2010). Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced mainly by the fungi F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum (Dambolena et al, 2010). Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is generally the most abundant member of the family of mycotoxins and is known to cause various animal and human diseases .…”

“…Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is generally the most abundant member of the family of mycotoxins and is known to cause various animal and human diseases . Additionally, fumonisins are potent liver toxins in most animal species and are suspected human carcinogens (Bhat et al, 2010 More recently Dambolena et al (2010) investigated the constituents and the efficacy of essential oils of O. basilicum L. and O. gratissimum L. from different locations in Kenya against F. verticillioides infection and fumonisin production. All oils showed some inhibitory effects on growth of F. verticillioides.…”

Essential oils of Bunium persicum (Parsi Zira), Carum copticum (Ajwain) and Cinnamomum zeylanicum (cinnamon) were tested in vitro as growth inhibitors against six forma special of Fusarium oxysporum. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and median effective concentrations (EC 50 ) values (µl/L) were also demonstrated. The antifungal activity of essential oils was assayed by poison food medium method (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500 µl/L). Essential oils were extracted by means of hydro-distillation and afterwards, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis was performed to identify their components. The main constituents were cinnamaldehyd (77.51%), β-linalool (11.13%), α-cubebene (1.18%) and 1S, CIS-calamenene (1.06%) for C. zeylanicum, thymol (52.95%), γ-terpinene (13.53%), p-cymene (11.28%) in C. copticum and γ-terpinene (24.02%), cuminaldehyde (20.1%), paracymene (13.09%), benzenemethanol alpha-propyl (13.01%), cyclopentane, 2-methyl-1-methylene-3-(1-methylethenyl) (3.57%) in B. persicum. All three essential oils exhibited antifungal effect on the studied fungi species; but essential oil of C. zeylanicum was more effective. The growth of F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceri and F. oxysporum f. sp. melonis was completely inhibited by essential oil of C. zeylanicum at 200 ppm concentrations.
