“…To test the application for alone or combined, three essential oils were isolated from three medicinal plant species belonging to the Mentha genus to manage the rice weevil Sitophilus oryzae (Curculionidae). The study conducted by Haouel-Hamdi et al [ 93 ] showed that binary combined Tunisian spearmint oils from M. rotundifolia, M. viridis , and M. longifolia leaves have exerted an important anti-insecticide activity against Sitophilus oryzae. However, Mentha essential oils alone revealed the lowest repellent activity to S. oryzae adults.…”

Mentha spicata, also called Mentha viridis, is a medicinal plant of the Lamiaceae family characterized by its potency to synthesize and secret secondary metabolites, essentially essential oils. Different populations use the aerial parts of this plant for tea preparation, and this tisane has shown several effects, according to ethnopharmacological surveys carried out in different areas around the world. These effects are attributed to different compounds of M. spicata, in which their biological effects were recently proved experimentally. Pharmacological properties of M. spicata extracts and essential oils were investigated for different health benefits such as antioxidant, anticancer, antiparasitic, antimicrobial, and antidiabetic effects. In vitro and in vivo studies showed positives effects that could be certainly related to different bioactive compounds identified in M. spicata. Indeed, volatile compounds seem to be efficient in inhibiting different microbial agents such as bacteria, fungi, and parasites through several mechanisms. Moreover, M. spicata exhibited, according to some studies, promising antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects, which show its potential to be used as a source for identifying natural drugs against cellular oxidative stress and its related diseases. Importantly, toxicological investigations of M. spicata show the safety of this species at different doses and several periods of use which justify its use in traditional medicines as tisane with tea. Here, we report, explore, and highlight the data published on M. spicata concerning its botanical description and geographical distribution, its phytochemical compounds, its pharmacological properties, and its toxicological investigations of M. spicata.

“…Concerning the pesticidal potential of EOs against S. oryzae , many plant species have been tested previously mainly as contact insecticides on filter paper or as fumigants [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. For example, Mentha spicata L., Mentha rotundifolia (L.) Huds., and Mentha longifolia (L.) Huds.…”

“…For example, Mentha spicata L., Mentha rotundifolia (L.) Huds., and Mentha longifolia (L.) Huds. EOs have been tested on filter paper, killing 95% of S. oryzae after 18 h exposure [ 17 ]. Furthermore, Melaleuca rhaphiophylla Schauer EO was more effective against S. oryzae as a fumigant than by contact [ 21 ].…”

Essential oil (EO)-based nanoemulsions (NEs) are promising grain protectants in the management of stored-product pests. However, the potential impact of the stored-grain species on the green insecticide effectiveness has been poorly studied. In this study, two concentrations of EO-based NEs from Carlina acaulis L., Mentha longifolia (L.) Huds., and Hazomalania voyronii (Jum.) Capuron were evaluated as insecticides against the major stored-product pest Sitophilus oryzae (L.) on barley, oats, and maize kernels. The C. acaulis EO-based NE applied at 1000 ppm on barley achieved the highest mortality, killing 94.4% of S. oryzae adults after a 7-day exposure, followed by 1000 ppm of H. voyronii EO-based NE (83.3%). The lowest mortality (1.1%) was recorded with 500 ppm of M. longifolia EO-based NE on maize after the same interval. All tested NEs exhibited elevated efficacy when applied on barley, while mortalities were lower on oats and maize. Furthermore, C. acaulis EO-based NE was the most effective when applied on all commodities, followed by H. voyronii and M. longifolia EO-based NEs. Overall, our results highlighted the significant impact of the stored cereal on the insecticidal effectiveness of EO-based NE used for stored-product pest control. Sitophilus oryzae adults on barley can be adequately controlled through the application of C. acaulis and H. voyronii EO-based NEs.
