“…Also this phenylpropanoid was highly effective in the control mosquito larvae in other studies, e.g., Aedes aegypti (Chantraine, et al 1998;Morais, et al 2006), Ochlerotatus caspius (Knio, et al 2008) and other insects, e.g., the cockroach Blattella germanica (Chang, et al 2002), the beetle Zabrotes subfaciatus (Silva and Câmara, 2007). Besides, anethol also repelled Culex pipiens mosquitoes (Lima, et al 2008) and the aphid Brevicoryne brassicae (Santos, et al 2001).…”

“…The phenylpropanoid anethol, a major component of P. marginatum, was also found in high percentage in P. marginatum chemotype V (Craveiro, et al 1976) essential oil, Pimpinella anisum (Erler, et al 2006), Illicium verum (Lima, et al 2008), Croton zenhtneri (Santos, et al 2001). Santos et al (2001) analyzed essential oils of 10 Piperaceae species from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and found that the most frequently identified compounds were sesquiterpenes, differently from P. marginatum and P. aduncum in the present work, but similar to P. arboreum, except for biciclogermacrene.…”

ABSTRACT:The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the vector of the dengue virus, an endemic arbovirus from tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The increasing resistance of mosquitoes to commercial insecticides impairs regular control programs; therefore, chemical prospecting originating from the Amazonian flora is promising for potential new insecticides. Several Piper species are, notably, rich in phenylpropanoids and terpenoids, substances with proven insecticidal activity. The composition and the larvicidal activity of three Piper species against A. aegypti were evaluated. Essential oils were extracted by hydrodistillation in a modified Clevenger apparatus and analyzed by GC/MS. The major components found in Piper arboreum were germacrene D (31.83%) and bicyclogermacrene (21.40%); in Piper marginatum: (E)-methyl isoeugenol (27.08%), (E)-anethole (23.98%) and (Z)-methyl isoeugenol (12.01%); and in Piper aduncum: (E)-isocroweacin (29.52%) and apiole (28.62%) and elemicin (7.82%). Essential oils from the Piperaceae species studied resulted in Lethal Concentrations (LC 50 ) of 34-55 ppm, while LC 90 was higher than 100 ppm, except for P. marginatum (85 ppm).Key words: Vector control; Essential oil; Piperaceae; Aedes aegypti. RESUMO: Óleo essencial da folha de espécies de Piper exibem atividade larvicida contra o vetor da dengue Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae). O mosquito Aedes aegypti é o vetor do vírus da dengue, um arbovírus endêmico em regiões tropicais e subtropicais do mundo. A crescente resistência dos mosquitos aos inseticidas comerciais prejudica programas regulares de controle, portanto, a prospecção química proveniente da flora amazônica surge como alternativa promissora para novos inseticidas. Várias espécies de Piper são notavelmente ricas em fenilpropanóides e terpenóides, substâncias com atividade inseticida comprovada. A composição e atividade larvicida de três espécies de Piper sobre A. aegypti foi avaliada. Os óleos essenciais foram extraídos por hidrodestilação em Clevenger modificado e analisado por GC/MS. Os principais componentes encontrados em Piper arboreum foram germacreno D (31,83%) e biciclogermacreno (21,40%); Piper marginatum: (E)-metilo de isoeugenol (27,08%), (E)-anetole (23,98%) e (Z)-methyl isoeugenol (12,01%), e Piper aduncum: (E)-Isocroweacin (29,52%), apiol (28,62%) e elemicin (7,82%). Os óleos essenciais a partir das espécies de Piperaceae estudadas resultou em concentrações letais (CL 50 ), 34-55 ppm, enquanto que CL 90 foi superior a 100 ppm, com excepção para P. marginatum (85 ppm).

“…This difference could of course be due to other different physiological/biochemical characteristics. 11) Essential oils have been utilized as insecticides, antifeedants, and repellents with a wide variety of target insects [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][23][24][25][26][27] ; however, one study that tested 96 herb extracts found that while Japanese mint oil had a strong repellent effect against B. germanica, the essential oils of grapefruit, lemon, and lime did not show strong repellent activity. 28) This is in contrast with our results, but the previous study was performed by a classical assay method based on the behavior of cockroach groups, and this may have been affected by the chemical factors associated with aggregation.…”

“…Among these various kinds of natural substances that have received particu-lar attention as natural agents for insect management are essential oils from aromatic and medicinal plants. [12][13][14][15] Numerous plants and derivative products, in particular essential oils, have been investigated and described as potentially natural sources of insect repellent. 11,16) Insect repellents are substances that act locally or at a distance, deterring an insect from flying to, landing on or biting human or animal skin.…”

Repellent activity of citrus oils against the cockroaches Blattella germanica, Periplaneta americana and P. fuliginosa

et al. 2009

The repellent efficacy of 17 essential oils against the German cockroach, Blattella germanica was examined using a T-tube olfactometer. Five oils repelled B. germanica with good efficacy, ranging from 70.0 to 96.7%. Four of these oils, grapefruit, lemon, lime, and orange, were from the citrus family Rutaceae. These citrus essential oils showed similar repellent activity against two more cockroach species, such as Periplaneta americana and P. fuliginosa. Gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry analyses revealed that the major components responsible for the repellent activity of the citrus oils were limonene, b-pinene and g-terpinene. Limonene appears to be the main component responsible for the repellent activity rather than b-pinene and g-terpinene. The repellent efficacy of these components varied with different doses and the cockroach species tested. It is likely that minor components of the oils also contributed to the overall repellent activity of citrus essential oils, except orange oil. The activity of orange oil is almost solely attributed to the activity of limonene. Also, the repellent activity of citrus oil and that of each of the terpenoids makes little difference to the efficacy of a repellant against the three species of cockroaches.

“…So, some results are observed with oil applications, from maize weevil adults (Sitophilus zeamais Mots) such as: Eucalyptus globulus Labill, Eucalyptus citriodora Hook, Azadirachta indica A. Juss, Lippia gracillis HBK, Cedrela fissilis Vell, Caryocar brasiliense Camb and Caropa guianensis Aubl (Coitinho et al, 2006). Also, oils of Illicium verum L. fruits and Cymbopogon citratus Stapf L. leaves were used on B. brassicae (Lima et al, 2008); ethanolic extract of green and ripe Melia azedarach L. fruits on Aedes aegypti L. (Prophiro et al, 2008); ethanol extract of Ipomoea carnea subsp fistulosa and Ricinus communis L., aqueous extract of Mascagnia rigida Griseb and Argemone mexicana L. and Azadirachta indica A.

ABSTRACT:The use of natural substances for pest control in agriculture is, economically, a viable option and has benefits for both the humanbeing and the environment, due to its low persistence and toxicity. Thus, this trial aimed on determining the insecticidal potential of the extracts and essential oils of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.), anise (Pimpinella anisum L.) and clove (Caryophillus aromaticus L.) to control Brevicoryne brassicae L. in kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala DC.). The treatments were: fennel, anise, cloves extracts at 10%; fennel, anise, cloves oils at 1% and control with distilled water. The mortality tests were carried out with aphids in laboratory, with three replications, after 1, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours. During laboratory trials , it was found out that fennel oil at 1% showed the best rate of mortality on aphid nymphs (70% at 72 h), followed by clove extract at 10% with 37% mortality. Tests in pots were only carried out only with cloves extracts at 10% and fennel oil at 1% treatment, in which such efficiency was alsoindicated on aphid nymphs.Keywords: botanic insecticides, repellency, essential oils.RESUMO: Potencial inseticida de Foeniculum vulgare Mill., Pimpinella anisum L. e Caryophillus aromaticus L. no controle de pulgão em couve. O uso de produtos naturais para controle de pragas da agricultura é opção economicamente viável e traz benefícios tanto ao homem como ao ambiente devido à sua baixa persistência e toxicidade. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar o potencial inseticida de extratos e óleos essenciais de funcho (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.), erva doce (Pimpinella anisum L.) e cravo-da-índia (Caryophillus aromaticus L.) para o controle de pulgão (Brevicoryne brassicae L.) em couve (Brassica oleracea var. acephala DC.). Os tratamentos utilizados foram os extratos de funcho, erva-doce e cravoda-índia a 10%; óleos de funcho, erva-doce, cravo-da-índia a 1% e testemunha com água destilada. Testes de mortalidade sobre pulgão em condições de laboratório foram realizados com três repetições e avaliações após 1, 12, 24, 48 e 72 h. Em laboratório, verificou-se que o óleo de funcho a 1% apresentou maior atividade sobre as ninfas de pulgão (70% em 72 h), seguido do extrato de cravo a 10%, com 37% de mortalidade. Testes em vasos foram realizados somente com o extrato de cravo-da-índia a 10% e óleo de funcho a 1%, nos quais também se constatou a eficácia sobre as ninfas de pulgão.Palavras-chave: inseticidas botânicos, repelência, óleos essenciais.
