TLDR
The reduction in growth rate of T. castaneum larvae and S. zeamais adults was mainly due to a behavioural (feeding deterrent) action rather than to post-ingestive toxicity of the oil, and the essential oil had a weaker feeding deterrent action against E. rutaecarpa.About:

Plant products as fumigants for stored-product insect control
S. Rajendran,V. Sriranjini +1 more
TL;DR: Although, in laboratory tests with adult insects, some of the plant compounds have shown insect toxicity comparable to methyl bromide or chloropicrin, their physical properties such as high molecular weight as well as high boiling point and very low vapour pressure are barriers for application in large-scale fumigations.

Antifungal activity of lemongrass (Cympopogon citratus L.) essential oil against key postharvest pathogens
TL;DR: The use of pure lemongrass essential oil is suggested to be an innovative and useful tool as alternative to the use of synthetic fungicides or other sanitation techniques in storage/packaging.

Repellent activity of essential oils from seven aromatic plants grown in Colombia against Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky (Coleoptera)
Luz Stella Nerio,Luz Stella Nerio,Jesus Olivero-Verbel,Jesus Olivero-Verbel,Elena E. Stashenko +4 more
TL;DR: Essential oils isolated from seven aromatic plants grown in Colombia were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and evaluated for repellent activity against Sitophilus zeamais using the area preference method, with Lippia origanoides the most active.

The Designation of Chemicals in Terms of the Responses They Elicit from Insects
TL;DR: An analysis of the behavioral effects of chemicals on locomotion, feeding, and oviposition has led to the designation and definition of five terms; namely, arrestant, stimulant, attractant, repellent, deterrent, and it is proposed that these five be employed as standard terms.

Allylglucosinolate and herbivorous caterpillars: a contrast in toxicity and tolerance.
TL;DR: Larval growth of Spodoptera eridania, a generalist feeder, is inhibited by high but not by low concentrations of the compound, while that of Pieris rapae, a crucifer specialist, is not affected even by artificially high concentrations of allylglucosinolate.
