“…It is implied from these findings that the EO has either ovicidal or larvicidal or pupicidal property or even combination of these bioactivities against cowpea seed bruchid. Several authors had reported the efficacy of various botanical formulations, including EOs, against bruchid's eggs, larvae or pupae . Since the results from this study indicated the EO's fumigant toxicity and bioactivity against biological parameters of C .…”

Due to several ecological and human hazards of synthetic pesticides in postharvest crop protection, there is the need to search for eco-friendly alternatives. In this study, chemical composition and insecticidal activities of essential oil (EO) obtained from Hoslundia opposita dried leaves were evaluated against cowpea seed bruchid. Eight constituents, predominated by oxygenated monoterpenes (78.86%), were identified using Gas Chromatography (GC)/MS. The constituents were 1,8-cineole (1; 61.15%), followed by α-terpineol (2; 16.81%), β-phellandrene (3; 13.24%), β-farnesene (4; 3.55%), α-pinene (5; 1.89%), Germacrene D (6; 1.83%), cis-sabinene hydrate (7; 0.90%) and caryophyllene (8; 0.63%). In fumigation bioassay, at 6 h after exposure (HAE), 0.78 ml EO/l air caused 35.33% mortality which was significantly lower than 60.90% and 63.6% observed at 3.15 and 6.25 ml/l air, respectively. Mortality reached 90.0% at 24 HAE regardless of the applied concentration. Lethal time for 50% of the bruchids (LT ) at concentration of 0.78 ml/l air (6.89 h) was higher than the LT at 3.15 and 6.25 ml/l air (4.72 and 4.44 h, respectively). H. opposita EO reduced Callosobruchus maculatus oviposition, while progeny emergence observed in EO-treated seeds (2.42 - 25.73) was significantly (P < 0.05) lower than 51.56 observed in control. The results confirm H. opposita EO's potentials for control of cowpea bruchids.

“…Moreover, Kellouche and Soltani (2004), Kellouche et al (2010) pointed out the insecticidal effect of a range of essential oils against the cowpea weevil C. maculatus. Recently Hedjal-Chebheb et al (2013) demonstrated the biological activity of six conifers essential oils against adults of C. maculatus. In Tunisia, several research papers reported the insecticidal activities of essential oils extracted from various aromatic and medicinal plants.…”
