“…Limonene was reported to have almost similar fumigant toxicity like that of crude EO of C. aurantium against Tribolium castaneum, Sitophilus granarium and Cryptolestes ferrugineus [28]. In our earlier studies we found higher toxicity of citral, that is the major compound of the essential oil of Citrus aurantifolia than the crude oil as mosquito larvicidal, ovicidal and adulticidal against Aedes aegypti [23]. Plata-Reuda et al [69] reported the insecticidal activity of citral and geranyl acetate against peanut beetle Ulomoides dermestoides.…”

Citrus essential oils (CEOs) and their constituent compounds are being reported to have multifarious activities. In this chapter an attempt is made to discuss the insecticidal activities, as well as CEO profile of different vegetative part of Citrus species and biocidal potentiality of their constituent compounds against diverse insect pests. It is observed that in most of the CEO constituent profile, limonene is the major constituent compound. Other important constituents present in different percentages in different CEOs are β-citronellal, linalool, pinene, β- caryophyllene, β-myrcene, terpinene, citral etc. These plant EO constituents are reported to have insecticidal effects against diverse insect species. Taking the four peel EOs of Citrus limon, Citrus paradisi, Citrus medica, Citrus maxima commonly grown in North Eastern part of India, study on their insecticidal effects against Dolichoderus affinis (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) was made and result is presented showing higher fumigant toxicity of C. medica and C. limon oil against the ant sp. With the increasing awareness for using safe insecticidal products among consumers, the citrus EOs with their attracting terpene compounds having good insecticidal potency bear all attributes to be used as commercial green pesticides in coming days both in indoor and outdoor management of insect pests.

“…The peel essential oils of Citrus aurantifolia has been reported as insecticidal, repellent, and larvicidal against Aedes aegypti [22]. In our previous study, we observed the ovicidal, larvicidal and adulticidal effects of leaf and peel essential oil of Citrus aurantifolia against Aedes aegypti [23].…”

“…Larvicidal and insecticidal activities have already been evaluated in EOs from C. sinensis, C. limon, C. grandis, C. aurantifolia, C. hystrix, C. maxima and C. medica (Araújo et al, 2016;Gomes et al, 2019;Sarma et al, 2017Sarma et al, , 2019Soonwera, 2015). High larvicidal activity could be due to the high limonene concentration (85.7%), a botanical insecticide which has been patented as an active agent of larvicidal formulations (Dias and Moraes, 2014).…”

Chemical composition, in vitro larvicidal and antileishmanial activities of the essential oil from Citrus reticulata Blanco fruit peel

et al. 2023

Numerous studies have investigated the chemical composition and biological activities of essential oils from different Citrus species fruit peel, leaves and flowers. This paper aims to investigate the chemical composition, larvicidal and antileishmanial activities of essential oil from Citrus reticulata fruit peel (CR-EO). CR-EO was obtained by hydrodistillation in a Clevenger-type apparatus and its chemical composition was analyzed by GC-MS and GC-FID. Limonene (85.7%), ɣ-terpinene (6.7%) and myrcene (2.1%) were identified as its major components. CR-EO showed high activity against promastigote forms of Leishmania amazonensis (IC50 = 8.23 µg/mL). CR-EO also exhibited high larvicidal activity against third instar Aedes aegypti larvae at a lethal concentration (LC50 = 58.35 µg/mL) and 100% mortality at 150 µg/mL. This study suggests, for the first time, the potential use of CR-EO against this important mosquito-borne viral disease caused by the genus Aedes.

“…Compounds that acted as feeding deterrents might potentially be included as deterrents in a push–pull strategy while other tested substances that stimulated feeding at a low concentration might be effective in a bait mix combined with insecticides toxic at ingestion or when incorporated with feeding stimulants, such as yeast species, acetic acid bacteria, and protein mixtures [ 32 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 ]. Ovicidal effect of citral was also found for another species of Diptera, the malaria vector Aedes aegypti [ 85 ]. The blue-colored abdomen of flies after uptake of the test liquids showed that all substances were consumed in concentrations of 0.01 and 0.1%.…”

Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is native to southeastern Asia and invaded Europe during the past decade. It causes serious economic damage in cherries and soft fruits. Control strategies rely on few insecticides with varying success. Due to environmental concern, the use of synthetic chemicals is restricted. Therefore, research effort is put into the quest for alternative substances applicable in chemical pest control. In laboratory assays, we tested 17 volatile plant compounds from different chemical classes for their contact toxicity, feeding modification, and oviposition repellency. Toxicity through contact with treated surfaces was evaluated after 1 h, 4 h, and 24 h; effects on food uptake were observed with capillary feeding (CAFE)—tests and oviposition trials compared egg numbers laid in raspberry medium with or without treated filter paper. Cinnamon oil and its components had the highest contact toxicity with an LC90 = 2–3%, whereas lemongrass oil, its main components, and farnesol were less toxic (LC90 = 7–9%), and geraniol was the least toxic. In CAFE tests, feeding stimulation was observed through 0.1% and 1% solutions of citronellol, lemongrass oil and farnesol. Cinnamon oil, cinnamaldhyde, and ethyl cinnamate were not consumed at a concentration of 1%. In the presence of citral, eugenol, and lemongrass oil, oviposition was reduced, and in the presence of limonene, no eggs were deposited. The natural products found most efficient in either bioassay will be further tested under field conditions.
