Plant oils as fumigants and contact insecticides for the control of stored-product insects
TL;DR: Edible oils are potential control agents against Callosobruchus maculatus and, to a lesser extent against Sitophilus zeamais Motsch.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of Piper spp. (Piperaceae) phytochemistry, insecticidal activity and mode of action
TL;DR: The conclusions of the current work with Piperaceae are that Piper extracts offer a unique and useful source of biopesticide material for controlling small-scale insect out-breaks and reducing the likelihood of resistance development when applied as a synergist with other botanical insecticides such as pyrethrum.

Bioactivities of essential oil from Elletaria cardamomum (L.) Maton. to Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky and: Tribolium castaneum (Herbst)
Yan Huang,S.L Lam,S.H. Ho +2 more
TL;DR: Feeding deterrence studies showed that cardamom oil did not have any growth inhibitory or feeding deterrence effects on either adults or larvae of T. castaneum, and all the nutritional indices of the adults of S. zeamais were significantly reduced.

Shay P. Ngoh,Lionel Ee Wi Choo,Fung Yin Pang,Yan Huang,Manjunatha Ramachandra Kini,Shuit H. Ho +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the toxic and repellent properties of nine major constituents of essential oils, comprising benzene derivatives and terpenes, were evaluated against Periplaneta americana (L.).

Botanical insecticides for controlling agricultural pests: Piperamides and the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
Ian M. Scott,Helen R. Jensen,Jeffrey G. Scott,Murray B. Isman,John T. Arnason,Bernard J. R. Philogène +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that Piper extracts could be used effectively as contact botanical insect control agents to protect potato plants from developing L. decemlineata larvae and to control insecticide resistant populations in conjunction with other integrated pest management (IPM) strategies used in conventional and organic agriculture.

The effectiveness of six vegetable oils as protectants of cowpeas and Bambara groundnuts against infestation by Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae).
TL;DR: With oil treatment, the degree of ovicidal activity was higher on bambara groundnuts than on cowpeas and only neem oil showed larvicidal properties, while karite oil was effective at 5 ml oil/kg seed.

Insecticidal Properties of Black Pepper to Rice Weevils and Cowpea Weevils
TL;DR: Ground black pepper and its 95% ethanol crude extract were highly toxic to the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.), and TLC analysis indicated that the activity may be ascribed to its other chemical components in conjunction or synergism to piperine.

Toxicity of citrus oils to several stored-product insects: laboratory evaluation.
TL;DR: TLC analyses and topical applications to the insects showed that the active component of the lemon peel was not a residue of the insecticides and acaricides generally used as prehavest treatments, or of the fungicides used as postharvest treatments.

Citrus Oils as Protectants of Black-Eyed Peas Against Cowpea Weevils: Laboratory Evaluation
TL;DR: There was no insect emergence from peas treated with lemon oil after the treated peas had aged 87 days, and emergence was low compared with that of the control even 312 days after the peas were treated.
