Essential Oils as Ecofriendly Biopesticides? Challenges and Constraints
Roman Pavela,Giovanni Benelli +1 more
TL;DR: Key challenges for future research include: development of efficient stabilization processes, simplification of the complex and costly biopesticide authorization requirements, and optimization of plant growing conditions and extraction processes leading to EOs of homogeneous chemical composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Essential oils for the development of eco-friendly mosquito larvicides: A review
TL;DR: This review evaluated the current research on using EOs as potential larvicides based on their chemical composition and biological efficacy, and found that more than 2/3 of the plants were from only 5 families: Lamiaceae, Cupressaceae, Rutaceae, Apiaceae, and Myrtaceae.
Journal ArticleDOI
History, presence and perspective of using plant extracts as commercial botanical insecticides and farm products for protection against insects – a review
TL;DR: The history, presence and perspective of using plant extracts as commercial botanical insecticides and farm products for protection against insects – a review are critically reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute toxicity and synergistic and antagonistic effects of the aromatic compounds of some essential oils against Culex quinquefasciatus Say larvae
TL;DR: The information gained can be used in the development of new botanical insecticides based on essential oils (EOs) and particularly in the creation of formulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insecticidal activity of some essential oils against larvae of spodoptera littoralis
TL;DR: Thirty-four essential oils were tested for insecticidal activity (fumigation or topical application) against larvae Spodoptera littoralis and twenty essential oils applied by fumigation were highly toxic to the third instar of S. littoranis larvae.
