          Abstract

          Aphids and thrips are very important pest species of many greenhouse and field plants in the world. In recent years, there have been attempts to identify plants for their insecticidal property with a view to find out suitable alternatives to the indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides, which are a risk for human health and the environment. The aim of this work was to evaluate the insecticidal effect of Eucalyptus globulus Labill essential oil (EO) against Aphis nerll Boyer de Fonscolombe (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and Gynaikothrips ficorum Marchal (Thysanoptera: Ploeothridae). The EO was extracted by hydrodistillation and the bioassay was evaluated by toxicity contact method, using solutions at different concentrations and for different time intervals. The EO was more toxic to G. ficorum (LC50 = 0.031pL cm-2) than A. nerll(LC50 = 0.099pL cm-2) on filter discs at 12 h of exposure. These results suggested that EO from E. globulus constitute a good alternative for the control of A. nerll and G. ficorum, considering their insecticidal effects at low applied concentrations and for short periods of time.

          Los áfidos y trips son dos de las más importantes especies de plagas que Invaden Invernaderos y cultivos en el mundo. En los últimos años se han realizado muchos esfuerzos con el propósito de identificar plantas por sus propiedades insecticidas, como una alternativa al uso indiscriminado de insecticidas químicos que constituyen un riesgo para la salud humana y el medioambiente. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto insecticida del aceite esencial (AE) de Eucalyptus globulus Labill sobre Aphis nerii Boyer de Fonscolombe (Hemiptera: Aphididae) y Gynaikothrips ficorum Marchal (Thysanoptera: Ploeothridae). El AE se extrajo por hidrodestilación y los bioensayos se evaluaron usando el método de toxicidad por contacto a diferentes concentraciones e intervalos de tiempo. Estudios exploratorios se realizaron previamente para determinar las concentraciones apropiadas de testeo. El AE fue más tóxico sobre G. ficorum (LC50 = 0.031|uL cm-2) que sobre A. nerii(LC50 = 0.099|uL cm-2) en el ensayo realizado en discos de papel de filtro correspondiente a las 12 h de exposición. Estos resultados sugieren que el AE de E. globulus constituye una buena alternativa para el control de A. nerii y G. ficorum considerando el efecto insecticida a bajas concentraciones y cortos tiempos de exposición.

            A review of control methods and resistance mechanisms in stored-product insects.

            This review describes the major stored-product insect species and their resistance to insecticides. The economic importance of the control of those pests is highlighted with a loss of more than one billion US dollars per year worldwide. A detailed common description of species resistance throughout the world has been developed, and we observed 28 recurrent studied species involved in resistance cases disseminated on the five continents. The different mechanisms, including behavioral resistance, were studied particularly on Oryzaephilus surinamensis. The role of detoxifying enzymes and studies on the genetic resistance, involving the kdr mutation mechanisms and the transmission of the genes of resistance, are also described. A chapter clarifying definitions on cross and multiple resistance is enclosed.

              Compositional analysis and insecticidal activity of Eucalyptus globulus (family: Myrtaceae) essential oil against housefly (Musca domestica).

              The essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus (Myrtales: Myrtaceae) was evaluated for its chemical composition and insecticidal activity against the housefly, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae). Chemical composition of E. globulus oil revealed 1,8-cineole (33.6%), α-pinene (14.2%) and d-limonene (10.1%) as major constituents, while vapour profile of E. globulus oil determined through solid phase microextraction (SPME) analysis showed 1,8-cineole (56.5%), α-pinene (16.9%), d-limonene (5.5%) and linalool acetate (3.4%) as principal components. Vapour phase of the oil showed increase in the contents of oxygenated monoterpenes. Insecticidal activity of E. globulus oil was assessed against larvae and pupae of housefly, through two different bioassays: contact toxicity and fumigation. Contact toxicity assay with larva showed lethal concentration, LC(50), between 2.73 and 0.60μl/cm(2) for different observation days while lethal time, LT(50), varied between 6.0 and 1.7 days. In fumigant assay for housefly larvae, LC(50) values of 66.1 and 50.1μl/l were obtained in 24h and 48h, respectively. Oil treated larvae showed surface shrinkage, spinous cells proliferation and bleb formation in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation. Pupicidal effectivity was measured in terms of percentage inhibition rate (PIR) which was 36.0-93.0% for contact toxicity and 67.9-100% for fumigation toxicity assay. Considerable activity of E. globulus oil against larvae and pupae of housefly demonstrates its potentiality as a viable option for the development of eco-friendly product for housefly control.
