Vigna unguiculata , one of the most important legumes, mainly in underdeveloped countries, is susceptible to post-harvest losses in storage by Callosobruchus maculatus (Fabricius, 1775) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). The work evaluated the toxicity, inhibition of oviposition, instantaneous rate of population growth (r i ) and the development of fumigated C. maculatus with the essential oil of Vanillosmopsis arborea and its major constituent, α -bisabolol. The experimental units consisted of 0.8 L flasks treated with concentrations of 1.2–11.2 μL L −1 of air of the essential oil of V. arborea or its major constituent applied to disks of filter paper. α -Bisabolol was quantified as 409.33 mL L −1 of the essential oil. The development rate of C. maculatus was evaluated by daily adult counts. Oviposition was evaluated at lethal concentrations (LC 50 , LC 25 , LC 10 and LC 1 ). The LC 50 and LC 95 of the essential oil of V. arborea and α -bisabolol were 5.23 and 12.97 μL L −1 of air and 2.47 and 8.82 μL L −1 of air, respectively. At some concentrations, the α -bisabolol was more toxic to males than to females of the insect. Increased concentrations of the essential oil reduced the r i , rate of development, oviposition, and number of eggs of C. maculatus and therefore have potential for pest control.

“…The secreta of T. castaneum can cause the flour to agglomerate, change color and go bad, and the secreta contain the benzoquinone which is a kind of carcinogenic substance. They have the characteristics of rapid reproduction, strong adaptation, and worldwide distribution, so the two species of insects cause significant damage during storage of many crops and products 1 .…”

“…The cigarette beetle occurs frequently in tropical and subtropical areas. They cause significant damage during storage of perishable food products such as cereals, legumes, tobacco, and traditional Chinese medicinal materials in warehouses [1,2]. Currently, recommended pest control measures in durable stored products are mainly the use of synthetic insecticides or fumigants 2 Journal of Chemistry which pose possible health risks to warm-blooded animals, environmental pollution, resistance by insects, and pest resurgence [3].…”

The aims of this research were to determine the chemical composition and insecticidal and repellent activities of theArtemisia mongolicaessential oil againstLasioderma serricorneand to isolate active constituents from the essential oil. The essential oil ofA. mongolicawas obtained by hydrodistillation and 36 components were identified with GC-MS. Eucalyptol (39.88%), (S)-cis-verbenol (14.93%), 4-terpineol (7.20%), (−)-camphor (6.02%), andα-terpineol (4.20%) were found to be major components. With a further isolation process, five constituents obtained from the essential oil were identified as eucalyptol, verbenol, 4-terpineol, camphor, andα-terpineol. In the progress of assay, it showed thatL. serricorneadults had different sensitivities to the crude essential oil and isolated constituents. 4-Terpineol exhibited strongest contact activity againstL. serricorne, showing the LD50value of 8.62 μg/adult. Moreover, camphor andα-terpineol showed stronger fumigant activity (LC50=2.91and 3.27 mg/L air, resp.) againstL. serricornethan crude essential oil and other constituents. In addition, the essential oil, eucalyptol, verbenol, andα-terpineol showed comparable repellency againstL. serricorneadults. The results indicate that the essential oil and isolated compounds have potential to provide more efficient and safer natural insecticides or repellents for control of insects in food and Chinese medicinal materials preservation.
