Insecticidal potential of essential oil and its major constituent 1,8-cineole against Zeller and Zeller (Pyralidae).

The aim of this study was to investigate the insecticidal properties of essential oil derived from leaves and its main component, 1,8-cineole, against two significant pests of stored dates, and (Pyralidae). The impact of the treatment on the sensory characteristics of date fruits was assessed to verify the complete absence of off-odours and off-flavours. Gas chromatography - mass spectrometry analysis of essential oil revealed that the primary compound was 1,8-cineole (74.

Fumigant toxicity of four essential oils against the carob moth Zeller and the Mediterranean flour moth .

, berries, and leaves of essential oils were analysed using GC-MS techniques and assessed for their fumigant toxicity against adults, larvae, and eggs of and . Results showed that contained Spathulenol, p-Cymene, and Cryptone as major compounds. GC - MS analyses showed that the major compounds of essential oil were 1,8-Cineole, Camphor, and α-pinene.

Screening for insecticidal toxicity of (L.) bulbs and (L.) tubers for the control of (Tenebrionidae).

This research was conducted to determine the effect of geographical distribution on morphological characteristics of plants and some chemical compounds such as polyphenols. Moreover, we explore the contact toxicity of ethanolic and methanolic extracts from bulbs and tubers collected from three localities in the North West of Tunisia against adults. The toxicity results demonstrated that both of the studied plant extracts had an effective control against at concentration 7.

Laurel essential oil: biological activities and application for semolina preservation against the red flour beetle (Tenebrionidae).

The phytochemical composition of essential oil and their anticholinesterase, antioxidant, and insecticidal potential were studied. Also, the oil volatile fraction was compared in semolina at the beginning and after storage periods. For that, a headspace solid-phase-microextraction analysis (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry was undertaken.

Insights for the control of dried-fruit beetle (Nitidulidae) using rosemary essential oil loaded in chitosan nanoparticles.

Natural insecticidal products, essentially essential oils and their bioactive compounds are available as an excellent alternative method to control insect pests as well as they are less toxic to human health. However, due to their volatile constituents, encapsulation could be considered as the most suitable solution for their practical application. Therefore, this study aims to explore the insecticidal toxicity of chitosan nanoparticles loaded with essential oil against adults of .

Phytochemical profile and insecticidal activity of Agave americana leaf extract towards Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

The main objective of the present study is to introduce a new and ecologically safe method for managing the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae. Therefore, the Agave americana leaf extract's phytochemical profile, and its insecticidal activity against the adults of S. oryzae were evaluated.

Post-harvest management control of Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae): new insights through essential oil encapsulation in cyclodextrin.

Background: Essential oils are reported to be bio-insecticides. However, problems related to their volatility, oxidation and poor water solubility need to be solved before they can be considered as replacement pest control methods. Thus, an appropriate formulation is needed for commercial use.
