“…Depletion of metabolites and adaptive increase in antioxidative and detoxification enzymes have been described in pest insects exposed to EOs [ 114 , 122 , 123 , 124 , 125 , 126 ] and azadirachtin [ 127 , 128 ]. Similar results were obtained in studies dealing with the impact of Apiaceae EOs on insect pests [ 45 , 113 , 129 , 130 , 131 ]. In lepidopteran pests, S. frugiperda and Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner limonene, carvon, estragol and anethol (compounds of anise, dill and fennel seed EOs) are detoxified by microsomal cytochrome P-450 monooxygenases [ 132 ].…”

The gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)) is a serious pest of hardwood forests. In the search for an environmentally safe means of its control, we assessed the impact of different concentrations of essential oils (EOs) from the seeds of three Apiaceae plants (anise Pimpinella anisum, dill Anethum graveolens, and fennel Foeniculum vulgare) on behavior, mortality, molting and nutritional physiology of gypsy moth larvae (GML). EOs efficacy was compared with commercial insecticide NeemAzal®-T/S (neem). The main compounds in the Eos were trans-anethole in anise; carvone, limonene, and α-phellandrene in dill; and trans-anethole and fenchone in fennel seed. At 1% EOs concentration, anise and fennel were better antifeedants and all three EOs were more toxic than neem. Neem was superior in delaying 2nd to 3rd larval molting. In the 4th instar, 0.5%, anise and fennel EOs decreased relative consumption rate more than neem, whereas all three EOs were more effective in reducing growth rate, approximate digestibility and efficiency of conversion of food into body mass leading to higher metabolic costs to GML. Decrease in consumption and metabolic parameters compared to control GML confirmed that adverse effects of the EOs stem from both pre- and post-ingestive mechanisms. The results indicate the potential of three EOs to be used for gypsy moth control.

“…Recently, the insecticidal activities of essential oils against R. dominica were reported: The significant fumigant toxicity of essential oil extracted from Satureja intermedia C. A. Mey was revealed against the adults Plants 2022, 11, 1567 2 of 17 of R. dominica which positively depended on the concentration of the essential oil and the exposure times [11]. In another study, along with considerable lethality, the fumigation with Anethum graveolens L. and Melaleuca cajuputi Powell essential oils resulted in significant reduction in total protein and detoxifying enzymes (esterases and glutathione-S-transferase) activity of R. dominica adults [12]. According to the study of Tine et al [13], R. dominica adults were susceptible to the essential oil of Lavandula angustifolia L., in which along with fumigant toxicity, the essential oil decreased α-amylase and protease activities of treated adults.…”

Although chemical pesticides have been efficiently used to manage insect pest, their overuse has led to environmental contamination and threats to human health, enticing researchers to introduce eco-friendly and effective agents. In this study, the insecticidal effectiveness of essential oils isolated from Thymus species, including T. eriocalyx, T. kotschyanus, T. fallax, and T. vulgaris, was evaluated against the adults of Rhyzopertha dominica. The terpenes p-cymene, 1,8-cineole, linalool, α-terpineol, and carvacrol were the prominent compounds in the hydrodistilled essential oils. All essential oils produced significant fumigant at 24, 48, and 72-exposure times. The energy reserves protein by all essential oils, glycogen by T. kotschyanus and T. vulgaris, and lipid by T. fallax and T. vulgaris were significantly decreased compared to control. All essential oils except T. vulgaris affected the amylolytic and proteolytic activity of the pest. The pest increased the α- and β-esterase enzyme activity in response to the essential oils. Nutritional indices of adults were also affected by essential oils, in which feeding deterrence index was calculated from 20.41% to 61.11%. Accordingly, based on lethal and extensive sub-lethal insecticidal activities, T. eriocalyx, T. kotschyanus, T. fallax, and T. vulgaris essential oils can be considered as efficient agents for R. dominica management.

“…Tripathi et al [46]; Isikber et al [41] have been reported similar results. Several plant essential oils exhibit feeding deterrence, acute toxicity, repellency and developmental disruption in many storage insect pests due to the complex combinations of monoterpenoids and allied phenolic compounds present in essential oils [52][53][54][55]. β-pinene has been reported to exhibit strong toxicity and repellent activity against T. castaneum adults [56].…”

Essential oil (EO) was extracted from Callistemon citrinus leaves by hydro-distillation. The extracted oil was analysed by GC and Mass Spectroscopy. Analysis report showed that the major constituent of the essential oil was eucalyptol (40.44%). The EO of C. citrinus exhibited 100% fumigation toxicity (adult mortality) against adult and 95.8% larvicidal activity against Tribolium castaneum at 160 μL/L (12 hrs) and 320 μL/L (48 hrs), respectively. The effective concentration of 37.05 μL/L (adult) and 144.31 μL/L (larva) at 24 and 48 hrs respectively. A 100% repellent activity was observed at 20 μl for adult beetles and 93.3% for larvae of T. castaneum at 20 μl after 24 h. Exposure to C. citrinus EO significantly reduced beetle fecundity, ovicidal activity, egg hatching, larvae survival, and emergence of adult. The effect of EO on detoxification enzymes of T. castaneum adults was examined. Results indicated that the activity of detoxification enzymes drastically varied when compared with control. This EO had toxicant effects on all stages of the life of T. castaneum. Hence it may be used as fumigant instead of the use of using synthetic chemical fumigants.
