“…These EOs typically contain complex combinations of sesquiterpenes, biogenetically related phenols, and monoterpenes. These compounds have a variety of hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties that can easily permeate insect cuticles and disrupt their physiological processes [60,61]. Despite the most promising properties of EOs as a natural insecticide, many technical issues are raised for their broader application due to their rapid volatility and poor water solubility [15].…”

“…There are many challenges and constraints related to the commercialization of EOs, including strict legislation and lack of raw material availability [60]. Their rapid degradability and low persistence may significantly reduce toxicity [60], transient effects, and a dearth of high-quality raw materials that are affordably priced [61]. Due to their rapid breakdown and short persistence, EOs may have significantly lower toxicity [61].…”

Interest in developing novel crop protectants has increased in the recent decade due to the harmful effects of synthetic pesticides on humans and the environment. Diaphorina citri threatens the citrus industry worldwide and is the primary vector of phloem-limited bacterium (HLB). However, there is no available cure for HLB. Diaphorina citri management mainly depends on the use of synthetic insecticides, but their massive application leads to resistance in pest populations. Therefore, alternative pest management strategies are needed. Our results indicated that fewer D. citri adults settled on plants treated with AAEO than on control 48 h after release. The psyllids fed on citrus leaves treated with AAEO significantly reduced the honeydew production compared to the control. The AAEO showed potent ovicidal activity against the D. citri eggs with LC50 5.88 mg/mL. Furthermore, we also explored the fitness of D. citri on AAEO-treated and untreated Citrus sinensis by using two-sex life table tools. Our results revealed that the intrinsic rate of increase (r) was higher on untreated seedlings (0.10 d−1) than those treated with an LC20 concentration of AAEO (0.07 d−1). Similarly, the net reproductive rate (R0) was higher for untreated seedlings (14.21 offspring) than those treated (6.405 offspring). Furthermore, the AAEO were safer against Aphis mellifera, with LC50 35.05 mg/mL, which is relatively higher than the LC50 24.40 mg/mL values against D. citri. The results indicate that AAEO exhibits toxic and behavioral effects on D. citri, which can be a potential candidate for managing this pest.

The botanical insecticides market is growing because of limitations placed on the use of certain synthetic chemical insecticides. Consequently, this study explored the following hypotheses: i) essential oils (EOs) derived from Mentha spp. are toxic to Alphitobius diaperius (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), a common poultry pest; ii) these EOs are compatible with Beauveria bassiana, the natural enemy of the poultry pest, that parasite A. diaperinus; iii) these EOs also exhibit activity against bacteria that are pathogenic to poultry. In topical applications and ingestion tests, EOs from Mentha arvensis, Mentha spicata, and Mentha piperita were toxic to A. diaperinus. Chromatographic analyses revealed that menthol is the predominant compound in M. arvensis and M. piperita, whereas carvone is the major compound in M. spicata. Both (-)-and (+)-menthol, along with (-)-and (+)-carvone, underwent testing with A. diaperinus. Nevertheless, their activity was not as potent as that of the EOs, suggesting a possible synergistic and/or additive effect. The EOs did not have any adverse effects on the conidial germination, vegetative growth, or conidia production per colony of the entomopathogenic fungus B. bassiana. Consequently, these EOs are compatible with this natural enemy. The EO extracted from M. spicata exhibited signi cant toxicity against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), whereas the remaining EOs displayed moderate toxicity against this bacterium. The EOs derived from Mentha spp., as assessed in this study, hold promise for the development of botanical insecticides tailored for the control of A. diaperinus. These insecticides are selective in favor of the natural enemy B. bassiana, and can also serve as effective sanitizers, thanks to their antibacterial properties.
