“…In another study, Ho et al (1994) reduced significantly the emergence of this insect in rice grains treated with hexane and methanol clove extracts at the dose of 1 mL 100 g -1 of rice. In addition, in other studies (Nerio et al, 2009;Correa, 2011) showing the potential of use of clove essential oil, whether by contact, repellence or fumigation, the authors observed that clove essential oils can become an alternative to the conventional insecticides for the mortality of populations of A. obtectus and S. zeamais. However, for the application of the essential oil, it is necessary to develop technologies that allow greater permanence of the compounds close to the mass of grains, increasing control efficiency and grain preservation.…”

A B S T R A C TBean weevil and maize weevil can cause considerable damage to stored grains. These insects are mainly controlled with synthetic chemical insecticides, which may bring serious problems to human and environmental health. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the essential oil of clove [Syzygium aromaticum (L.) Merrill & Perry (Myrtaceae) (origin: Bahia, season Sep.2014-Feb.2015] in the control of S. zeamais and A. obtectus under laboratory conditions. The essential oil was extracted through the classic hydrodistillation process and its chemical components were identified via gas chromatography. Oil efficiency was tested at the doses of 35, 17.9, 8.9, 3.6, 1.8, 0.4 and 0.2 µL g -1 (derived from a pilot study) for insect control and the LC 50 was determined. The results showed that eugenol was the major compound. The essential oil caused mortality of 100% for both species 48 h after treatment with the concentrations of 17.9 and 35 µL g Atividade inseticida do óleo essencial de cravo-da-índia sobre o caruncho-do-feijão e o gorgulho-do-milho R E S U M OO caruncho-do-feijão e o gorgulho do milho podem causar grandes prejuízos aos grãos armazenados. Entre as alternativas de controle está a utilização de óleos essenciais de plantas com propriedades inseticidas; objetivou-se, assim, avaliar a eficiência do óleo essencial de cravo-da-índia no controle de S. zeamais e A. obtectus em condições de laboratório. O óleo essencial foi extraído por processo clássico de hidrodestilação e seus constituintes químicos foram identificados por cromatografia gasosa. A eficiência deste óleo foi testada nas doses 35; 17,9; 8,9; 3,6; 1,8; 0,4 . A CL 50 para A. obtectus foi 9,45 µL g -1 contra 10,15 µL g -1 do S. zeamais. A utilização do óleo essencial de cravo-da-índia representa uma alternativa promissora a ser usada em condições de armazenagem para o manejo integrado de pragas de grãos armazenados.

“…At the highest concentration (20 µL) of hexane and methanol fruit extracts the repellency was 45.78 and 41.33 percent against C. maculatus, but in leaf extracts it was 23.56 and 25.56 percent (Table 3). Many plant products, such as essential oils, have been screened for their repellent activity against stored grain pests [23,34,35]. Other studies have shown that T. castaneum can also be repelled by essential oils from Evodia rutaecarpa [36], Ocimum gratissimum L. [37] and Artemisia vulgaris L. [38].…”

Fumigant toxicity and repellent activity of Toddalia asiatica (L.) Lam. (Rutaceae) leaf and fruit extracts were screened against Callosobruchus maculatus (F.), Sitophilus oryzae (L.) and Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) adults. All the three solvent extracts of leaf and fruits recorded mortality and repellency against the three tested insects in a concentration dependent manner. C. maculatus was the most susceptible pest to the treatments. Lethal concentrations for 50 percent mortality (LC 50 ) of C. maculatus, S. oryzae and T. castaneum were recorded as 39.19, 44.13 and 61.10 µL/L, respectively. Diethyl ether fruit extract exhibited 100% repellent activity against C. maculatus and S. oryzae and 92% against T. castaneum adults at 20 µL concentration. These results suggested that Diethyl ether fruit extract of T. asiatica can be used as an ecofriendly fumigant and repellent against C. maculatus, S. oryzae and T. castaneum.

“…Scientists in different parts of the world are working for the development and establishment biopesticides or natural pesticides. Biopesticides are natural plant products that have many activities such as insecticidal activity 2,3 , suppress the growth of fungal 4 , repellent to pests 5 , a deterrent to feeding 6 , insect growth regulation, and toxicity to agricultural pests 7 . Wood vinegar which is also called as pyroligneous acid or liquid smoke is a product by processing of high-temperature carbonization of wood with absent of oxygen.…”

Termiticidal activity of wood vinegar from Toona sinensis (TS) sawdust has been evaluated against Coptotermes curvignathus. TS wood vinegar was produced at 250-300°C pyrolysis temperature, and a no-choice test was applied for evaluating termiticidal activity with thirty-three active termites. The concentrations of TS wood vinegar in the dried filter paper was prepared to 0% (solvent only), 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%. The TS wood vinegar showed strong termiticidal activity and that concentrations of wood vinegar significantly influenced mortality of termite. The termite mortality increased when the concentration of wood vinegar increased, at a concentration of 8% all termites dead after 3 days tested. Forty constituents were characteristic on the basis of GC-MS data, and 33 components were identified. The organic compounds in TS wood vinegar were classified into carboxylic acids, phenols, ketones, amides, aldehydes, furans, esters, alcohols, sugar derivative, and ether, and among of this components, acetic acid comprised 57.43%. The contents of organic fraction of TS wood vinegar and largely acetic acid might be responsible for the termiticidal activity. Base on physicochemical properties, TS wood vinegar has a good quality as well.
