Mosquitoes are a serious threat to the society, acting as vector to several dreadful diseases. Mosquito management programes profoundly depend on the routine of chemical insecticides that subsequently lead to the expansion of resistance midst the vectors, along with other problems such as environmental pollution, bio magnification, and adversely affecting the quality of public and animal health, worldwide. The worldwide risk of insect vector transmitted diseases, with their associated illness and mortality, emphasizes the need for effective mosquitocides. Hence there is an immediate necessity to develop new eco-friendly pesticides. As a result, numerous investigators have worked on the development of eco-friendly effective mosquitocidal compounds of plant origin. These products have a cumulative advantage of being cost-effective, environmentally benign, biodegradable, and safe to non-target organisms. This review aims at describing the current state of research on behavioral, physiological, and biochemical effects of plant derived compounds with larvicidal effects on mosquitoes. The mode of physiological and biochemical action of known compounds derived from various plant families as well as the potential of plant secondary metabolites, plant extracts, and also the essential oils (EO), as mosquitocidal agents are discussed. This review clearly indicates that the application of vegetal-based compounds as mosquito control proxies can serve as alternative biocontrol methods in mosquito management programes.

“…Promising results with P. aduncum essential oil have also had reported for other insect orders (Piton et al 2014;Krinski and Foerster 2016;Turchen et al 2016;Costa et al 2016). Fazolin et al (2005) evaluated the effect of P. aduncum oil on Cerotoma tingomarianus Bechyné (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and obtained 100% mortality at the concentration of 1% in a topical treatment with paper impregnated with oil.…”

Essential oil of spiked pepper, Piper aduncum L. (Piperaceae), for the control of caterpillar soybean looper, Chrysodeixis includens Walker (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

The resistance of pests to insecticides and the high costs of pest control have prompted a search for less harmful alternatives to the environment. Phytoinsecticides can be a promising option in the control of pests. The insecticidal properties of the essential oil of Piper aduncum L. (Piperaceae) have been demonstrated by several authors. This study was aimed at evaluating the insecticidal activity of P. aduncum essential oil on caterpillars of the soybean looper, Chrysodeixis includens Walker. Two bioassays were conducted: The first was based on the ingestion of treated leaves, while the second, on direct contact. Chromatography was performed, and the resulting oil was used to treat larvae fed cotton leaves at the concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, and 8.0%. The controls consisted of water and acetone. The first assessment was carried out 24 h after the application. The main compounds identified by chromatography were dillapiole, myristicin, and Z-carpacin. In the ingestion bioassay, mortality reached 90% for the highest concentration in the first 24 h after application. For the topical application of P. aduncum essential oil, no significant differences were observed until the end of the life cycle of C. includens. This study demonstrates the insecticidal activity essential oil of P. aduncum on C. includens and its potential in the control of this insect by ingestion.

“…It was shown that the chemical compounds present in these Piperaceae can be further evaluated among the isolation of active molecules to develop new botanical formulations, especially when we consider that the majority of these substances has been reported as potential insecticides in many other studies conducted worldwide (Santos et al, 2010;2013;Cáceres & Kato, 2014, Brito, Baldin, Silva, Ribeiro, & Vendramim, 2015Krinski & Foerster, 2016, Sanini et al 2017, Turchen, Hunhoff, Paulo,Souza, Pereira, 2016b and other plant families (Isman, 2000;Koul, Walia, & Dhaliwal, 2008;Tripathi, Upadhyay, Bhuiyan, & Bhattacharya, 2009;Coitinho, Oliveira, Gondim-Júnior, & Câmara, 2010;Ntalli & Menkissoglu-Spiroudi, 2011, Zoubiri & Baaliouamer, 2011Baskar, Muthu, Raj, Kingsley, & Ignacimuthu, 2012;Krishnappa & Elumalai, 2012;Cáceres & Kato, 2014Krinski, Massaroli, & Machado, 2014;Backiyaraj et al, 2015;Massaroli, Pereira, & Foerster;Costa, Santana, Oliveira, & Serrão, 2017).…”

Ovicidal effect of the essential oils from 18 Brazilian Piper species: controlling Anticarsia gemmatalis (Lepidoptera, Erebidae) at the initial stage of development

ABSTRACT. The toxicities of essential oils (EOs) from 18 species of Brazilian Piperaceae were assessed on eggs of the velvetbean caterpillar, Anticarsia gemmatalis. Oils were extracted using steam distillation, and dilutions were made for bioassays at concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0%. All EOs reduced larval hatching. The lowest lethal concentrations were obtained from Piper fuligineum (SP), Piper mollicomum "chemotype 1" (SP), Piper mosenii (PR), Piper aduncum (PA) and Piper marginatum (PA). Ovicidal activity is related to the potential toxicity of several compounds, especially dilapiolle, myristicin, asaricine, spathulenol and piperitone. According to our results, EOs from 16 Brazilian Piper species have potential for use as biorational botanical insecticides.
