Essential Oils and monoterpene binary mixtures as organic bioinsecticides against Callosobruchus maculatus: Bioassay, molecular docking, and dynamics insights

Larvicidal Activity, GC–MS Profiling and Multitarget Molecular Docking of Essential Oils from Cymbopogon citratus, Tanacetum cinerariifolium and Salvia rosmarinus Against Anopheles arabiensis

Malaria remains a major public health challenge, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, necessitating the development of environmentally sustainable alternatives to conventional insecticides. This study evaluated the larvicidal efficacy of essential oils extracted from Cymbopogon citratus, Tanacetum cinerariifolium and Sa...

Bioactive Cinnamon as an Eco-Friendly Botanical Insecticide: Toxicity Against the Brown Planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens)

Chemical composition of essential oils from Amazonian Annonaceae: Anaxagorea brevipes Benth., Guatteria scytophylla Diels, Xylopia aromatica (Lam.) Mart. and Xylopia benthamii R.E. Fr.

The study evaluated the chemical composition of essential oils from four Annonaceae species found in Manaus, Amazonas. The essential oils were extracted through hydrodistillation and analyzed using gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The essenti...

Clinopodium nepeta Essential Oil and Its Major Constituents Pulegone and Menthone: Composition and Activity Against Verticillium dahliae, Phytophthora infestans, and Macrophomina phaseolina

ABSTRACT Fungal and oomycete phytopathogens account for 10%–20% of annual global crop losses, and the escalating resistance to synthetic fungicides has intensified demand for plant‐derived alternatives. The essential oil (EO) of Clinopodium nepeta (L.) Kuntze, obtained by hydrodistillation from aerial parts harvested i...

Chemical composition and fumigant acaricidal activity of Salvia officinalis essential oil against Rhipicephalus microplus (Acari: Ixodidae)

Bioinsecticidal potential of Baeckea frutescens (Myrtales: Myrtaceae) essential oil: chemical variation, yeast encapsulation, and larvicidal activity against Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, and Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae).

Plant essential oils are promising alternatives to synthetic larvicides, but their development is often limited by chemical variability, formulation challenges, and concerns regarding non-target toxicity. Baeckea frutescens, a widespread weed species, remains insufficiently characterized in terms of chemotypic diversit...
