“…Fruit quality measured based on physical-chemical characteristics, both in tangerines and oranges with the application of mineral films were similar to those of the control fruits in this study. This result corroborates those of Mezófi et al (2018), who did not verify the effect of kaolin on the mass and on the concentration of soluble solids in cherries, in addition to finding a reduction in the infestation of Rhagoletis cerasi (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Tephritidae) in the cherry orchard. In 'Navelinas' oranges, Gullo et al (2020) also observed the absence of kaolin interference in color, SS, and TA parameters.…”

“…Kaolin is the sole mineral that has been extensively researched for its ability against fruit fly attacks. Its formulations were effective for controlling fruit fly infestations ( Saour & Makee, 2004 ; Braham, Pasqualini & Ncira, 2007 ; Yee, 2008 ; Mezőfi et al, 2018 ). Because of changes in its formulation/preparation as well as its concentration, kaolin has a reduced effect on oriental fruit fly infestation in this investigation.…”

“…Because of changes in its formulation/preparation as well as its concentration, kaolin has a reduced effect on oriental fruit fly infestation in this investigation. For example, we employed a concentration of 2%, whereas the study by Mezőfi et al (2018) and Braham, Pasqualini & Ncira (2007) used concentrations of 4% and 5% (w/v), respectively.…”

Introductions In many areas, particularly in Asia, the oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) causes considerable fruit damage on various plants. The fruit fly causes significant economic losses every year due to reduced fruit quantity and quality as well as export restrictions. This study aimed to examine the potency of minerals in controlling the oriental fruit fly infestation in chili fruits. Methods Experiments were conducted under laboratory and semi-field conditions using randomized block design. Ten minerals (i.e. kaolin, talc, zinc oxide, bentonite, sulfur, dolomite, calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, and zeolite) and an untreated control were tested under laboratory conditions. Twenty chili fruits at a green stage were soaked in each mineral suspension (2%, w/v), air-dried, and placed in a trial cage (23-L plastic container) containing 20 female oriental fruit flies. In a semi-field bioassay using a screen cage (100 cm × 70 cm × 120 cm), 20 female oriental fruit flies were exposed to a fruit-bearing chili plant sprayed with mineral suspension. Results Talc and calcium oxide significantly reduced the numbers of visiting fruit flies, oviposition holes, and eggs laid, as well as the percentage of infested chili fruits in a laboratory bioassay. Calcium hydroxide was substantially better than talc in controlling fruit fly infestation in a semi-field bioassay, although it was not significantly different from calcium oxide and calcium carbonate. Conclusion Overall, calcium oxide is a viable option for the long-term control of the oriental fruit fly on chili fruits. Calcium oxide could be utilized as the push component of a push-pull strategy to manage oriental fruit fly infestation in chili fruits because of its potential to inhibit the number of visiting fruit flies and oviposition.

“…Indeed, in vivo herbicidal activity of cinnamaldehyde has been observed at 3% (v/v) concentration on A. thaliana leaves [49]. Field insecticidal activity against two spotted mites in cherry fruit was observed after five applications at 0.25% (v/v) concentration [50]. C. zeylanicum and cinnamaldehyde was applied against Alternaria brown spot in tangerines in the field at 0.1% (v/v) [45].…”

Phytotoxicity and Plant Defence Induction by Cinnamomum cassia Essential Oil Application on Malus domestica Tree: A Molecular Approach

Essential oils (EOs) are actively investigated as an alternative to numerous synthetic biocide products. Due to their large spectra of biological activities, the impact of EOs on non-target organisms should be characterized for biopesticide development purposes. In this study the potential phytotoxicity of Cinnamomum cassia EO (CEO) on apple trees (Malus domestica) were investigated in terms of oxidative burst (glutathione redox state) and damage (malondialdehyde). At 2%, CEO concentration the reduced glutathione leaf content drops from 269.6 ± 45.8 to 143 ± 28.4 nmol g−1FW, after 30 min, illustrating a rapid and strong oxidative burst. Regarding oxidative damage, malondialdehyde increased significantly 24 h post application to 10.7 ± 3.05 nmol g−1FW. Plant defence induction was previously suspected after trans-cinnamaldehyde (CEO main compound) application. Therefore, the elicitor potential was investigated by qRT-PCR, on the expression level of 29 genes related to major defence pathways (PR protein, secondary metabolism, oxidative stress, parietal modification). Multivariate analysis and increased expression levels suggest induction of systemic resistance. Hence, the present research illustrates the dose–dependent phytotoxicity of CEO in terms of lipid peroxidation. Transcriptional data illustrates the elicitor properties of CEO. These findings can help to design pest management strategies considering both their risks (phytotoxicity) and benefits (defence activation combined with direct biocide properties).
