“…Their rapid breakdown in the environment, together with low accumulation in the soil organic matter, can help to decrease the degradation of agricultural soils (Ansari et al, 2012;Archana Singh, 2014;Blázquez, 2014;Carrubba and Catalano, 2009;Pavela and Benelli, 2016;Raja, 2013). Botanical pesticides have been shown to provide effective control of different species of agricultural pests, in many cases being more effective than synthetic chemicals, due to their varied mechanisms of action (Sola et al, 2014a,b;Tambwe et al, 2014;Oliveira et al, 2017;Štefanidesová et al, 2017). An important point is that the formulation of new commercial products (using, for example, nanotechnological techniques) could further enhance the performance of these natural compounds, reducing both the dosages required and their toxicity towards nontarget organisms, especially the soil microbiota (Chhipa, 2017;de Oliveira et al, 2014;Mattos et al, 2017;Mossa, 2016).…”

Recent decades have witnessed major growth in the use of agrochemicals worldwide,for maximizing the food production for a rapidly growing human population. However, the indiscriminate use of these substances especially the pesticides has led to the accumulation of toxic residues in food, soil, air, and water, as well as the development of resistance in pests. Moreover, pesticides affect soil enzymes, which are essential catalysts that govern soil quality. In order to meet the food security, it is necessary to produce more food, sustainably and safely, in a diminishing area of available arable land and with decreased water resources. Given this situation, there is an increased interest in the use of alternative substances to synthetic agrochemicals that present less risk to the environment and human health while increasing the food safety. Promising results have been obtained using compounds derived from aromatic plants for the control of agricultural pests. Such compounds of botanical origin can be highly effective, with multiple mechanisms of action, while at the same time having low toxicity towards nontarget organisms. However, the large-scale application of these substances for pest control is limited by their poor stability and other technological issues. In this backdrop, the present work discusses perspectives for the use of compounds of botanical origin, as well as strategies employing the encapsulation techniques that can contribute to the development of systems for use in sustainable agricultural practices.

“…In the last decade, there has been extensive research into the repellent effects of many compounds against ticks. The majority of these studies have focused on in vitro studies of sensu stricto repellence (Pamo et al, 2005;Ribeiro et al, 2008;Cetin et al, 2010;Štefanidesová et al, 2017).…”

Preventing tick bites using repellents could make a valuable contribution to an integrated tick management programme for dogs. Here, the ability of a range of essential oils or active ingredients of commercially available repellents, to abolish the orientation and taxis of the tick Ixodes ricinus towards sebum extracted from dog hair was examined in laboratory bioassays. Substantial differences between oils were observed, but turmeric oil was both able to prevent a climbing response by ticks and had a longer residual activity than other oils. A blanket-drag field assay was then used to compare the attachment of ticks to blankets impregnated with one of: turmeric oil, DEET (positive control), orange-oil or excipient only (negative controls). In total, 899 ticks were counted, with an average of 23.3 (SD ± 21.3) ticks per blanket drag for excipient-only (n = 16), 26.9 (SD ± 28.6) for orange oil (n = 16), 2.6 (SD ± 2.0) for turmeric oil (n = 16) and 3.4 (SD ± 3.7) for DEET (n = 16). Finally, in a participatory in vivo trial, tick acquisition by 15 untreated control dogs was compared with 24 dogs sprayed with turmeric-oil and 16 dogs sprayed with orange oil (both 2.5% v/v diluted in water with a 1% coco glucoside excipient) before each walk in known tick infested areas. The percentage of dogs with ticks attached to the legs or belly of dogs sprayed with turmeric oil suspension (15% ± 19.4%) was significantly lower than that of ticks attached to the same areas of dogs sprayed with orange oil suspension (85% ± 19.4%) and unsprayed dogs (73% ± 26.2%) (P < 0.05). The data indicate that turmeric-oil may form a valuable component of a tick management programme for domestic dogs.

“…The most common method for tick control is the use of synthetic acaricides, however, the misuse and overuse use of these products has accelerated the selection of resistant tick populations (Daher 2011;Souza et al 2012;Biegelmeyer et al 2014). An important strategy explores the use of bioactive compounds from plants to develop new acaricides (Roh et al 2003;Santos et al 2012a, b;Štefanidesová et al 2017;Rodriguez-Vivas et al 2018;Vinturelle et al 2017). Research on plant bioactive compounds can lead to the identification of new molecules presenting different modes of action, biological targets and synergy in comparison to current commercial products (Benelli and Pavela 2018;Pavela 2015;Rattan 2010;Agwunobi et al 2020).…”

The indiscriminate use of acaricides is a problem worldwide and has increased the selection of acaricide-resistant tick populations. The goal of this study was to evaluate the acaricide effects of two essential oils (from Schinus molle and Bulnesia sarmientoi) using the larval immersion test on three Rhipicephalus tick species. Rhipicephalus evertsi, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and Rhipicephalus pulchelus ticks collected in Kenya, without history of acaricide exposure, were tested, as well as individuals from two populations of Rhipicephalus microplus (with or without history of acaricide exposure), for comparison. The sample most resistant to the treatments was a population of R. microplus with previous acaricide exposure, whereas the least tolerant sample was a strain of the same species that never had contact with acaricides (Porto Alegre strain). Interestingly, the field tick samples without previous acaricide exposure responded to essential oils with a mortality profile resembling that observed in the acaricide-resistant R. microplus field population, and not the susceptible Porto Alegre strain. The essential oil of B. sarmientoi and its two components tested (guaiol and bulnesol) caused the highest mortality rates in the tested species and are potential molecules for future studies on control methods against these species.
