“…The fumigant insecticidal activity which has been shown by the AITC oil in this study is in a good agreement with the reported data by Peterson et al (1998). Apparently, this is also the case with fumigant activities of 66 plant essential oils which has been reported in Plutella xylostella larvae (Yi et al, 2007) and also AITC was lethally toxic to the generalist herbivore Spodoptera and Plutella (Li et al, 2000).…”

Problem statement: The toxicity of seven of Allylisothiocyanate (AITC) formulations, AITC pure and in mixture with cypermethrin and chlorpyrifos, was evaluated using spray application and fumigation method against the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), the small cabbage white butterfly, Pieris rapae (L.) and the tobacco cut worm, Spodoptera litura Fabr. Approach: Response varied according to insect species, specific formulation and AITC application rates. Results: Fumigant toxicity of the oil based on 9 h exposure was evaluated against the three insect larvae, the diamond back moth, P. xylostella larvae were more susceptible followed by tobacco cut worm, S. litura and cabbage white, P. rapae larvae. To P. xylostella larvae, LC₅₀ value was 1.5 µL L^-1 air, S. litura larvae (LC₅₀, 1.8 µL L^-1 air) and P. rapae larvae (LC₅₀, 2.0 µL L^-1 air). These three insect larvae were killed after 9 h exposure to a dose of 4.3 µL L^-1 air of the oil, showed no significance difference with that of phosphine (40 µg L^-1 air) a recommended dose. On the other hand, on the spray application bioassays, mortality data counted 72h after treatment, the P. rapae larvae were most susceptible to AITC formulations followed by S. litura larvae and P. xylostella larvae. LC₅₀ values, to P. xylostella larvae, HJ(A) and HJ(B) were the most potent toxicant (33 mg L ^-1) and (46 mg L^-1) respectively, while the least toxic was HJ(C) (556 mg L^-1). To S. litura larvae, HJ(B) and HJ(A) were the most efficient (10 mg L^-1) and (22 mg L^-1) respectively, while HJ(D) (LC₅₀, 385 mg L^-1) was found to be the least toxic. The both of HJ (B) and HJ (C) had similar insecticidal activity (LC₅₀, 8 mg L^-1) to Pieris rapae larvae followed by HD (B) (LC₅₀, 22 mg L^-1) and HD (A) (LC₅₀, 82 mg L^-1). Conclusion/Recommendations: It was concluded that the AITC oil showed promise findings and may be a good alternative to old fumigant phosphine. The others were found efficient on the spray application bioassays but the mixture of AITC with cypermethrin especially HJ (A) and HJ (B) were found to be better than AITC mixed with chlorpyrifos and AITC pure. So they can be used in the field of crop protection as safer and potential components of an integrated pest management strategy, especially allylisothiocyanate is considered fully biodegradable, less toxic and many cruciferous vegetables daily consumed by humans

“…Sabina vulgaris , I. purpurea , C. glanduliferum , L. pungens and L. cubeaba oils possess fumigant toxicity offering the prospect for use in stored‐product protection, which relies heavily on fumigant toxicity. Other studies have also suggested the prospect of using essential oils as alternatives to synthetic fumigants (Yi et al. 2007).…”

Ten essential oils were tested against the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni larvae for contact, residual and fumigant toxicities and feeding deterrent effects. Against third instar T. ni, Syzygium aromaticum (LD50 = 47.8 μg/larva), Thymus vulgaris (LD50 = 52.0 μg/larva) (the two positive controls) and Cinnamomum glanduliferum (LD50 = 76.0 μg/larva) were the most toxic via topical application. Litsea pungens (LD50 = 87.1 μg/larva), Ilex purpurea (LD50 = 94.0 μg/larva), Cinnamomum cassia (LD50 = 101.5 μg/larva) and Litsea cubeba (LD50 = 112.4 μg/larva) oils were equitoxic. Thymus vulgaris (LC50 = 4.8 mg/ml) and S. aromaticum (LC50 = 6.0 mg/ml) oils were the most toxic in residual bioassays. Cymbopogon citratus (LC50 = 7.7 mg/ml) and C. cassia (LC50 = 8.5 mg/ml) oils were equitoxic followed by Cymbopogon nardus (LC50 = 10.1 mg/ml) in this bioassay. The remaining five oils showed little or no residual effects. In a fumigation bioassay, L. cubeba (LC50 = 16.5 μl/l) and I. purpurea (LC50 = 22.2 μl/l) oils were the most toxic. Cinnamomum glanduliferum (LC50 = 29.7 μl/l) and Sabina vulgaris (LC50 = 31.2 μl/l) oils were equitoxic. Interestingly, S. aromaticum did not exhibit any fumigant toxicity. Cymbopogon citratus, C. nardus and C. cassia strongly deterred feeding by third instar T. ni (DC50s = 26.9, 33.8 and 39.6 μg/cm2, respectively) in a leaf disc choice bioassay. The different responses of T. ni larvae to the oils in different bioassays suggest that these essential oils exhibit different modes of action. Based on their comparable efficacy with essential oils already used as active ingredients in many commercial insecticides (i.e. clove oil and thyme oil), some of these essential oils may have potential as botanical insecticides against T. ni.

“…Our results agree with previous reports about insecticidal activity of R. officinalis essential oil. Yi et al (2007) have shown the insecticidal effect of rosemary vapor oil against Plutella xylostella larvae (Lepidoptera). Other reports show that the insecticidal activity of R. officinalis oil rich in 1,8-cineole (58.8%) against Mayetiola destructor by fumigation causes 66.66% mortality after 120 min, but Eucalyptus globulus with 74.5% 1,8-cineole causes 63.33% mortality after the same time of exposure at the same dose, which explain that 1,8-cineole was the first responsible for this activity.…”

The aims of this research were to determine the chemical composition of the essential oil of three Tunisian plants and to evaluate their biological activity against eggs, larvae, and adult insects of Ectomyelois ceratoniae Zeller. The essential oils extracted from leaves of Thymus capitatus (L.) Hoffmanns. & Link, Rosmarinus officinalis L. and needles of Pinus halepensis Mill. were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry; 34, 16, and 56 constituents were identified, respectively. The major constituents were (Z)-caryophyllene (23.8%), β-myrcene (20.5%) and α-pinene (13.3%) in P. halepensis oil, carvacrol (66.9%), p-cymene (9.1%), and δ-terpinene (6.2%) in T. capitatus oil and 1,8-cineole (47.5%), camphor (14.9%), α-pinene (14.1%), and borneol (13.1%) in R. officinalis oil. The insecticidal effects of essential oils on eggs, larvae, and adults of E. ceratoniae were investigated. Ovicidal activity of oils was studied by spray on eggs while larvicidal and adulticidal activities were assessed by fumigation and spray. Number of hatched eggs was verified after 10 d, larva and adult mortalities were observed after 6, 12, and 24 h. Globally, eggs and larvae were the most resistant to the three different oils, needing higher doses to obtain a higher mortality. The spray method was most effective than fumigation. Essential oil extracted from T. capitatus proved to be very toxic towards E. ceratoniae on all three phases at the dose of 20 µL mL -1 (100% inhibition), followed by the oil from R. officinalis (90-100% inhibition), nevertheless, weak activity was obtained with P. halepensis oil (68.3-85% inhibition). Results obtained may suggest that the essential oils of T. capitatus and R. officinalis possess high insecticidal activity and therefore, can be used in biotechnological application as natural preservative in stored dates and could be useful in managing populations of E. ceratoniae in field.
