“…Calculations were performed using statistical software SPSS 16.0 according to the previous report 13 . 3 . Thereby, the TS wood vinegar in current study appeared to be of good quality in terms of color, odor, pH, density, and transparency because of the value as in accordance with the previous report.…”

“…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.

The antitermitic activity of Cinnamomum parthenoxylon leaves crude methanol extract and its fractions against Coptotermes curvignathus was investigated in a laboratory test. A no-choice test was employed for determining antitermitic activity. The results showed that all fractions and crude methanol extract at concentrations tested was reduced the survival of termite and as well as showed feeding deterrent activity compares to the corresponding control. The results of the preliminary phytochemical screening, and refer to previously reported data the secondary metabolites present in the crude MeOH extract and EtOAc fractions are terpenoids, steroids, flavonoids, coumarin, phenolics, benzenoids, chromene, and fatty acid methyl esters. Base on GC-MS data, the chemical components of n-hexane fraction showed 13 components which was divided into five groups, fatty acid methyl esters (53.66%), 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, bis (2-ethylhexyl) ester (31.17%), phytol (6.49%), sesquiterpenes (6.47%), and a phenyl propanoid (2.22%). Need further investigation to examine which compounds are responsible for termiticidal and antifeedant activity, either singly or jointly.
