(Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, 2015-12)
The development of natural insecticides would help to decrease the negativeimpact of synthetic insecticides. Fumigant toxicity of essential oil of Tagetesfilifolia Lag (Asterales: Asteraceae) and its major compounds were ...
Toxicity to vapor exposure and topical application of essential oils and monoterpenes on musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae)
(Entomological Society of America, 2009-06)
The medical and veterinary pest Musca domestica L. has developed resistance to most insecticides used against it. For this reason, there is a constant search for new alternative control tools. The aims of this study were ...
Fumigant toxicity from five essential oils rich in ketones against Sitophilus zeamais (Motschulsky)
(Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, 2014-05)
Essential oils (EOs) and individual compounds act as fumigants against
insects found in stored products. In fumigant assays, Sitophilus zeamais
Motschulsky adults were treated with essential oils derived from ...
Synergism between essential oils: A promising alternative to control Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(2022-03-01)
Combinations of essential oils (EOs) are promising alternatives for pest management in storage grains. A high diversity of compounds in EOs and EO mixtures can increase their toxicity. Additionally, EOs can be useful in ...
Fumigant toxicity of Citrus sinensis essential oil on Musca domestica L. adults in the absence and presence of a P450 inhibitor
(Elsevier Science, 2013-03)
Essential oils (EOs) are potential tools for controlling Musca domestica L. In a fumigant assay, M. domestica adults treated with Citrus sinensis EO (LC50 = 3.9 mg/dm3), with (4R)(+)-limonene (95.1%) being its main component, ...

(Springer, 2015-03-01)
The sweet potato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius biotype B (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), causes high economic losses in vegetables, beans, soybeans, peanuts, cotton, and several ornamental plants. Repeated spray applications ...
Understanding synergistic toxicity of terpenes as insecticides: Contribution of metabolic detoxification in musca domestica
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2018-10)
Essential oils, which are mixtures of terpenes, frequently show stronger insecticide activity, i.e., lower lethal dose 50 (LC50), than their most abundant terpenes. Synergy between terpenes provides a plausible explanation, ...
