Steam and Water Distillation of Piper Betle, Ocimum Basilicum, Cymbopogon Winterianus, and Citrus Hystrix Leaves for Activity of Insect Repellent against Mosquito

The Basil plant (Ocimumbasilicum L) is an annual herb; belongs to family Lamiaceae. It is found to be an important source for Methyl Eugenol (ME), the fruit flies attractant. This study was carried out at Shendi area with main objective to assess the amount of ME extracted from Ocimumbasilicumplant to evaluate its potentiality as fruit fly attractant. Plants of basil were grown till to maturity, then the differential harvest of leaves, flower and seeds were chemically investigated for volatilome. Five basil formulations (paste and powder of leaves, paste and powder of flowers, isolated ME from basil oil) were used for trapping potential of Bactrocera spp in mango orchards, as compared to the synthetic ME. The oil was extracted using Soxhlet apparatus, steam and water distillation, and analyzed using GCMS. The results revealed that highest extracted oil percentages was obtained from flowers, leaves, seed and stem were 5.75%, 3.03%, 0.02% and 0.21% respectively. Moreover, the basil traps catch was found to be lower compared with that of the control traps. Furthermore, when extracted ME from basil plant was compared with the standard synthetic, it gave lower catch fruit flies numbers, but the difference was not significant (>0.05). In conclusion, the basil raw derivates are confirmed not to be attractive for flies but the oil distillable from the leaves could be in force of its attractant ME contents and insecticide potency.

Mosquito Repellents

Plants that are played as mosquito repellents, one of which is plants that contain essential oils, such as lemongrass, basil and patchouli. As an effort to make it easier to use, this research will make a spray repellent preparation with a combination of active ingredients from essential oils of lemongrass, basil and patchouli. The research methods included making a spray repellent using essential oils of lemongrass, basil, patchouli every 0.1 ml (5 concentrations %), 0.2 ml (10% concentration), 0.3 ml (15% concentration) and the additives 1ml Propylene glycol and 5 ml 96% Ethanol which functions as a solvent. The experiment used five treatments, namely: Negative control (Kn), Formula A (0.1ml), Formula B (0.2ml), Formula C (0.3ml), and Positive Control (Kp). The parameters tested included pH test, patch test, organoleptic, specific gravity, emulsion stability, preference and percentage of protective power. The protective power test was carried out 10 times from each treatment for 6 hours of observation (0-1 hours, 1-2 hours, 2-3 hours, 3-4 hours, 4-5 hours and 5-6 hours). The results showed that the best spray expulsion treatment was formula B with a concentration of 10% (0.2 ml)

As moscas-das-frutas (Diptera: Tephritidae) são insetos de importância econômica e quarentenária para a fruticultura. A importância econômica se dá pelas perdas de frutas no campo, enquanto que a importância quarentenária se caracteriza pela restrição da importação de frutas frescas impostas por países importadores. Devido a importância das moscas-das-frutas para a produção e comercialização de frutas, existe uma demanda por métodos de controle sustentáveis. Para contribuir com o manejo desses insetos, o objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o potencial inseticida de extratos aquosos (EA) e atrativo de óleos essenciais (OE) sobre Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.) e Ceratitis capitata (Wied.). Os experimentos consistiram em ensaios para verificar atratividade em olfatômetro de quatro saídas e teste de mortalidade em Torre de Potter. No olfatômetro foram testados OE de Bixa orellana L., Cymbopogon winterianus L., Citrus latifolia Tanaka, Lavandula angustifolia Mill, L. dentata L., Laurus nobilis L., Rosmarinus officinalis L. e Ocimum basilicum L. em três concentrações 0,5, 1,0 e 2,0%, sobre fêmeas das duas espécies de moscas simultaneamente.

RESUMOO objetivo desse trabalho foi verificar o efeito do solo pré-cultivado com plantas aromáticas na germinação e no desenvolvimento inicial de plântulas de alface cv. Simpson. A pesquisa foi realizada na Embrapa Hortaliças, Brasília, em bandejas mantidas em casa de vegetação. O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, com três repetições e onze tratamentos: solo pré-cultivado com hortelã-comum (Mentha x villosa), hortelã-brava (Mentha arvensis), hortelã-pimenta (Mentha piperita), Mentha spp., capim-citronela (Cymbopogon winterianus), capim-limão (Cymbopogon citratus), manjericão de folha larga (Ocimum basilicum), manjericão de folha roxa (Ocimum gratissimun), tomilho (Thymus vulgaris), sálvia (Salvia officinalis) e solo da mesma área sem cultivo prévio de planta aromática (controle). Aos 30 dias após o semeio, foram avaliadas: índice de velocidade de emergência (IVE), taxa de sobrevivência (TS), número de folhas (NF), comprimento da raiz principal (CRP) e da parte aérea (CPA), massa fresca da raiz (MFR) e da parte aérea (MFPA) e massa seca da raiz (MSR) e da parte aérea (MSPA). Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e teste de Tukey a 5% de probabilidade. Houve diferença significativa em relação ao IVE, sendo que o tratamento com C. citratus afetou negativamente a emergência das plântulas. O tratamento com M. arvensis apresentou uma TS de apenas 16% das plantas aos 30 dias após a semeadura. O NF foi menor no tratamento com M. arvensis, diferentemente de todos os demais, exceto S. officinalis. A MRF e MFF foram estimuladas pelo tratamento com T. vulgaris sendo superior a todos os outros tratamentos. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que houve efeito negativo de M. arvensis e positivo de T. vulgaris no desenvolvimento inicial de plântulas de alface.

Active Substances

The bean weevil, Acanthoscelides obtectus Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae), causes severe post-harvest losses in the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L. The control of this insect is still poor and involves the use of conventional insecticides. There is an increasing demand in the search for new active substances and products for pest control towards reduction of adverse effects on human health and the environment. The protection of grains with alternative products, such as essential oils, is a possible alternative to meet the needs described above. Therefore, this investigation evaluated the applications of basil, Ocimum basilicum, and citronella, Cymbopogon winterianus, essential oils for A. obtectus control. These essential oils significantly reduced the bean weight losses and the number of beans damaged by A. obtectus at higher doses than 60 or 120 μL/sample. The number of holes per bean did not differ between the doses of basil essential oil, not even at the dose of 60 μL, while it was higher at 120 μL, probably due to a lower capacity of movement of the insects treated with this dose and/or the oil’s direct or indirect effects on the insects. Basil and citronella oils exhibited similar patterns of insecticidal activity over the insect, both directly in adult insects or indirectly over bean seeds. These essential oils affected the development of A. obtectus since the greatest doses applied on beans decreased the emergence of the bean weevil. The results prove the insecticidal capacity of the tested essential oils and hence their potential as active substances against A. obtectus in environmentally low risk pest control strategies. Supplementary trials should be conducted under real storage conditions.
