采用玻片浸渍法测定了植物源杀螨活性物质东莨菪内酯、双脱甲氧基姜黄素及两者联合作用最佳增效配比(东:双=7:6)对朱砂叶螨雌成螨的致死效应,并采用时间-剂量-死亡率(TDM)模型进行模拟.结果表明:所建TDM模型均通过Hosmer-Lemoshow拟合异质性检验,朱砂叶螨雌成螨对3种药剂浓度变化的敏感程度为东莨菪内酯＞两者最佳配比＞双脱甲氧基姜黄素,双脱甲氧基姜黄素、东莨菪内酯和两者最佳配比对朱砂叶螨雌成螨的致死率高峰期分别为处理后32、28和32 h;处理后48 h的LC50和LC90分别为0.3324、0.2035、0.2195mg·mL-1和2.1198、0.9521、1.1617 mg·mL-1;浓度为1.0和2.0 mg·mL-1处理下,LT50分别为7.4、6.0、6.1h和6.4、4.8、5.0h.因此,东莨菪内酯与双脱甲氧基姜黄素最佳配比和东莨菪内酯具有相近的杀螨动态及时间-剂量效应,表现出较好的杀螨活性和增效作用,具有一定的开发利用价值.     

姜黄素类化合物对朱砂叶螨的生物活性

分别用玻片浸渍法和叶片浸渍法测定了从姜黄中分离的姜黄素(curcumin,CCM)、去甲氧基姜黄素(demethoxycurcumin,DMC)和双去甲氧基姜黄素(bisdemethoxycurcumin,BDMC) 3种天然姜黄素类化合物对朱砂叶螨Tetranychus cinnabarinus Boisduval的成螨、若螨、卵的触杀活性以及对成螨产卵的抑制作用。结果表明：3种化合物对朱砂叶螨的生物活性大小依次为BDMC>DMC>CCM。3种化合物对朱砂叶螨成螨触杀活性最高者为BDMC,处理24 h和48 h其LC₅₀分别为1.18和0.51 mg/mL。对若螨触杀活性的大体趋势与对成螨的相同,其中处理48 h,BDMC对若螨的LC₅₀最小,为2.48 mg/mL。3种化合物对朱砂叶螨卵的触杀毒力也同样表现为BDMC>DMC>CCM。3种单体化合物都表现出一定的对朱砂叶螨雌成螨的产卵抑制作用。对姜黄素类化合物构效关系的初步研究,明确了甲氧基在姜黄素模板上对杀螨活性的贡献,对于开发具经济价值的叶螨类杀螨剂或者筛选先导化合物模板,具有一定的参考价值。     

甲氰菊酯与阿维菌素单用、轮用和混用对朱砂叶螨抗性进化的影响

应用数量遗传学的方法分析朱砂叶螨(Tetranychus cinnabarinus)实验种群对甲氰菊酯、阿维菌素及其混剂甲氰—阿维(甲氰菊酯:阿维菌素=8.9:0.1,m/m)的抗性现实遗传力,并测定了甲氰菊酯、阿维菌素分别连续单用、轮换使用、混合使用对朱砂叶螨抗性进化的影响。结果表明,筛选16代后,朱砂叶螨对甲氰菊酯、阿维菌素和甲氰—阿维的抗性现实遗传力分别为0.2853、0.1695和0.0804,朱砂叶螨对混剂的抗性现实遗传力低于对2个单剂的遗传力的一半,混用延缓抗性的效果将好于轮用。药剂连续单用、轮换使用和混合使用16代,朱砂叶螨对甲氰菊酯的抗性分别为28.52、28.03和10.81倍,对阿维菌素的抗性分别为3.24、2.82和1.41倍。朱砂叶螨对2种杀螨剂抗性进化速率为单用>轮用>混用,抗性测定结果表明甲氰菊酯与阿维菌素混用能有效延缓朱砂叶螨对2种药剂抗性的发展速率。     

生防放线菌Fq24代谢产物对朱砂叶螨的生物活性

菌株Fq24是从健康番茄植株分离得到的一株植物内生放线菌.为了研究它对朱砂叶螨生物活性的影响,通过萃取、柱层析、气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)等技术对Fq24代谢产物中的杀螨活性物质进行了分离和结构鉴定,并采用玻片浸渍法和叶片残毒法测定了这些代谢产物的生物活性.结果表明:石油醚萃取物对朱砂叶螨具有较强的触杀和产卵忌避作用.触杀作用的LC50为52.57 mg·L-1,产卵忌避作用的ODC50为43.18 mg·L-1.经GC-MS分析,流份S11的主要化学成分为棕榈酸甲酯,分子式为C17H34O2,是代谢产物中的杀螨活性物质之一.质量浓度为5 mg·mL-1的棕榈酸甲酯对雌成螨的24h校正死亡率为78.3％,对雌成螨24h产卵驱避率为81.6％.     

朱砂叶螨对三种杀螨剂的抗性选育与抗性风险评估

为评价朱砂叶螨Tetranychus cinnabarinus对3种杀螨剂的抗性风险,在实验室抗性品系选育基础上,应用数量遗传学中的域性状分析法,研究了朱砂叶螨北碚种群对甲氰菊酯、阿维菌素和哒螨灵3种杀螨剂的抗性现实遗传力,并对3种药剂在不同杀死率下抗性发展的速率进行了预测。结果表明：分别单一连续汰选16代后,朱砂叶螨对甲氰菊酯、阿维菌素的抗性倍数分别达26.54和4.51倍,对哒螨灵表现为敏感性降低（抗性倍数为1.16倍）;朱砂叶螨对甲氰菊酯、阿维菌素和哒螨灵的抗性现实遗传力分别为0.2472,0.1519和0.0160。在室内选择条件下,杀死率为50%～90%时,要获得10倍抗性,甲氰菊酯仅需要13～6代,阿维菌素需要约21～10代;哒螨灵需要约197～89代;在田间选择,三种药剂都将需要更长的时间。抗性筛选16代结果表明,抗性风险较高的是菊酯类的甲氰菊酯,其次是生物源农药阿维菌素,杂环类的哒螨灵抗性风险较小。试验结果可为朱砂叶螨抗性治理提供参考。

不同生长时期黄花蒿提取物对朱砂叶螨的生物活性

选用不同生长时期(4、5和6月)黄花蒿的根、茎、叶,采用30℃～60℃石油醚、60℃～90℃石油醚、乙醇、丙酮和水溶剂等溶剂,用顺序和平行提取方法获得81种提取物,测定其对朱砂叶螨的生物活性,同时,将81种提取物分别稀释至5mg.ml-1,测定其对朱砂叶螨的触杀毒力。结果表明:在杀螨活性方面,黄花蒿的杀螨活性随植株的生长呈增加的趋势,总体表现为6月>5月>4月。6、5和4月黄花蒿叶的丙酮平行提取物活性最强,5mg.ml-1浓度处理48h对朱砂叶螨的校正死亡率为74%～86%,它们对朱砂叶螨的致死中浓度(LC50)分别为0.84、0.94和1.38mg.ml-1;处理浓度为5mg.ml-1时,它们的致死中时(LT50)分别为24.61、27.63和37.23h。     

Repellent effectiveness of seven plant essential oils,sunflower oil and natural insecticides against horn flies on pastured dairy cows and heifers

Plant essential oils (basil, geranium, balsam fir, lavender, lemongrass, peppermint, pine and tea tree), mixed with either sunflower oil or ethyl alcohol, were applied at 5% concentrations to the sides of Holstein cattle. Pastured cattle treated with essential oils diluted in sunflower oil had less flies than the untreated control for a 24‐h period. However, the essential oil treatments were not significantly different than the carrier oil alone. Barn‐held heifers treated with essential oils and sunflower oil alone had significantly less flies than the untreated control for up to 8 h after treatment. Basil, geranium, lavender, lemongrass and peppermint repelled more flies than sunflower oil alone for a period ranging from 1.5 to 4 h after treatments applied to heifers. All essential oils repelled > 75% of the flies on the treated area for 6 and 8 h on pastured cows and indoor heifers, respectively. Geranium, lemongrass and peppermint stayed effective for a longer duration. Essential oils mixed with ethyl alcohol demonstrated less repellence than when mixed with the carrier oil. Safer's soap, natural pyrethrins without piperonyl butoxide and ethyl alcohol alone were not efficient at repelling flies. Essential oils could be formulated for use as fly repellents in livestock production.     

Screening for inhibitory activities of essential oils on the growth of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides (Penz.) Penz. & Sacc., the causal agent of leaf spot disease of Murraya koenigii L.

Seven essential oils namely clove, cedar wood, lemongrass, peppermint, eucalyptus, citronella and neem oils were tested for their inhibitory effect on spore germination, growth of germ tube and mycelial growth of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides isolated from diseased Murraya koenigii. All essential oils inhibited the germination and growth of germ tube at different concentrations. However, significant reduction in colony growth was observed with citrus, lemongrass and peppermint oils at 1000, 1500 and 2000 ppm concentrations, respectively. Citrus oil at 1360 ppm inhibited the maximum growth of the fungus followed by lemongrass oil at 1720 ppm and peppermint at 2260 ppm, respectively. The effect of essential oils on mycelial dry weight also showed antifungal activity on the growth of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The study revealed the possible utilisation of these essential oils for foliar spray for the management of leaf spot disease of Murraya koenigii.     

nC22矿物油及其与吡虫啉混用对柑橘木虱的室内毒力评价

【目的】室内评价nC22矿物油单独使用,以及与吡虫啉混用对柑橘木虱Diaphorina citri的毒力,并筛选nC22矿物油对吡虫啉防治柑橘木虱具有增效作用的混配比例,为矿物油防治柑橘木虱的应用提供科学依据。【方法】使用nC22矿物油以及阳性对照nC23和nC28矿物油,采用浸渍法和喷雾法分别检测矿物油对柑橘木虱卵和低龄若虫、高龄若虫、成虫的致死作用,以处理后第7天(卵)和第1天(若虫和成虫)的LC 50值评估毒力。将nC22矿物油与吡虫啉以不同配比混配,测定混配液对低龄若虫的毒力,使用交互测定法、共毒因子(co-toxicity factor,CTF)法和共毒系数(co-toxicity coefficient,CTC)法评价矿物油对吡虫啉的增效作用。【结果】单独使用时,nC22矿物油对卵的LC 50值低于nC23和nC28矿物油;对低龄若虫和高龄若虫的LC 50值与nC23矿物油相当,都低于nC28矿物油;对成虫的LC 50值与nC28矿物油相当,都低于nC23矿物油。与吡虫啉混用时,nC22矿物油与吡虫啉混配比例为3∶7,4∶6和7∶3时,矿物油对吡虫啉有增效作用:交互测定法中柑橘木虱低龄若虫的实际死亡率位于等效线的上方,CTF值分别为34.807,22.655和40.798,CTC值分别为187.410,183.876和222.936。3种混配液中7∶3的混配比例对吡虫啉的增效作用最强。【结论】nC22矿物油对柑橘木虱的毒力高于进口nC23矿物油及传统nC28矿物油,且以适当混配比例混用时nC22矿物油对吡虫啉具有显著增效作用,理论上可大幅减少化学杀虫剂的使用量,可进一步通过田间试验进行验证。     

Temperature-dependent fumigant activity of essential oils against twospotted spider mite (Acari: Tetranychidae)

Fumigant activity of 34 commercial essential oils was assessed on female adults and eggs of twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae) at three temperatures (5, 15, and 25 degrees C). Common thyme, cinnamon, and lemongrass oils were equally effective on twospotted spider mite adults showing 85.8-100% mortality at 5 and 10 microl/liter air at 25 degrees C. At a lower temperature of 15 degrees C, lemongrass and peppermint resulted in > or =90% mortality of adults at 10 microl/liter air. Only lemongrass was relatively active at 5 microl/liter air, at 15 degrees C. At 5 degrees C, lemongrass and peppermint caused significantly higher adult mortality than controls but only at 10 microl/liter air. Common thyme oil showed the highest ovicidal activity at 5 microl/liter air at 25 degrees C. Among the main components of common thyme and lemongrass oils, citral was lethal to twospotted spider mite adults at all tested temperatures. Carvacrol, thymol, and citral caused the same inhibitory effects on the hatch of twospotted spider mite eggs at 25 degrees C. However, citral was more active than other compounds to twospotted spider mite eggs at 15 degrees C. Therefore, we conclude that citral has the best potential for development as a fumigant against twospotted spider mite on agricultural products harvested late in the growing season.     

Inhibition by the essential oils of peppermint and spearmint of the growth of pathogenic bacteria

The effects of the, essential oils of peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), spearmint Mentha spicata L.) and Japanese mint (Mentha, arvensis L.), of four major constituents of the esssential oil of peppermint, and of three major constituents of the essential oil of spearmint, on the proliferation of Helicobacter pylori, Salmonella enteritidis, Escherichia coli O157:H7, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin sensitive Staphylococccus aureus (MSSA) were examined. The essential oils and the various constituents inhibited the proliferation of each strain in liquid culture in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, they exhibited bactericidal activity in phosphate-buffered saline. The antibacterial activities varied among the bacterial species tested but were almost the same against antibiotic-resistant and antibiotic-sensitive strains of Helicobacter pylori and S. aureus. Thus, the essential oils and their constituents may be useful as potential antibacterial agents for inhibition of the growth of pathogens.     

Biopesticidal value of selected essential oils against pathogenic fungus, termites, and nematodes

The biopesticidal potential of six plant-derived essential oils (mint [Mentha arvensis], ajwain [Carum capticum], lemongrass [Cymbopogon citrates], clove [Eugenia caryophyllata], cedarwood [Cedrus deodara], and eucalyptus [Eucalyptus globulas]) was evaluated against Odontotermes obesus (termites), Fusarium oxysporum (plant pathogenic fungi), and Meloidogyne incognita (nematodes). In the case of termites, a “no-choice” bioassay revealed that the mint oil gave the best results (100% mortality in 30 min with 10% oil and in 10 h with 0.12% oil) followed by the lemongrass and ajwain oils. The disc diffusion method was adopted to test the anti-fungal activity of the essential oils and it was found that the clove oil gave the maximum inhibition measured in terms of the average inhibition zone diameter (5.3 ± 0.2 cm with 10% oil and 6.6 ± 0.9 cm with 20% oil), followed by the ajwain oil. To check the anti-nematicidal activity of the essential oil, in-vitro growth chamber experiments revealed that eucalyptus oil was the most efficient (100% mortality in 6 h with 1000 ??l l⁻¹ oil and in 30 h with 125 ??l l⁻¹ oil), followed by the ajwain oil. The use of the crude oils at low concentrations provided satisfactory results at the laboratory level against these pathogens, and needs further evaluation in field trials.     

Larvicidal effects of some essential oils against Aedes aegypti (L.), the vector of dengue fever in Saudi Arabia

Essential oils are very popular among organic growers because they are ecologically safe, do not have mammalian toxicity, and cannot be resistant to a variety of contaminants. Four essential oils, Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint, and Neem, were tested for larvicide efficacy against the dengue fever vector Aedes aegypti larvae under laboratory conditions using dipping bioassay techniques. Among the essential oils tested, lemon, peppermint, and lavender oils showed high larvicidal activity against larvae of Ae. aegypti. Lemon oil showed the highest effects (LC₅₀ 10.676 ppm), while Peppermint, Lavender and Neem oil showed the lowest effects (LC₅₀ 21.380, 29.818 and 38.058 ppm, respectively). As a result, the mixture of lemon oil (LC₅₀) with Peppermint oil (LC₂₅) showed the highest co-toxicity factor, whereas the mixture of Lemon oil (LC₅₀) with Diesel oil (LC₂₅) showed the lowest co-toxicity factor. Based on the results of this study, it appears that essential oils may be useful as larvicides against Ae. aegypti larvae. In search of new natural larvicides, these compounds may provide an alternative to Synthetic insecticides as these are environmentally safe insecticides.     

Antibacterial properties and major bioactive components of Mentha piperita essential oils against bacterial fruit blotch of watermelon

Plant-derived essential oil is an alternative to antibiotics, eliminating the concern of developing antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. In this study, using the half-divided Petri plate assays, 32 volatile essential oils were screened for their antibacterial activity against Acidovorax citrulli (Acc). Sweet basil and peppermint oils were the most effective against Acc, with subsequent trials showing that peppermint oil to be the most active. Using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, the major compositions of peppermint oil were analysed. Among the various compositions of peppermint oil, menthol, neomenthol, isopulegone and 1,8-cineole were significantly active against Acc and each component at 0.2% concentration inhibited all bacterial growth. This study demonstrated in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activities of peppermint oil and its active components against Acc. These results suggest the use of peppermint oil as a potential antibacterial agent to treat seed with Acc.     

In Vitro Synergistic Activities of Essential Oils and Surfactants in Combination with Cosmetic Preservatives Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus

The aim of this study is to evaluate possible synergistic antimicrobial interactions between common cosmetic preservatives and selected essential oils or surfactants. The antimicrobial efficacy of six essential oils, three surfactants and five preservatives against Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 43387 was assessed by a broth micro-dilution assay. MICs for individual and combined antimicrobials were determined and then transformed to fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) indexes. All essential oils exhibited antibacterial activity; among surfactants, bacteria resulted most susceptible to the cationic agent. Synergy was observed when essential oils of eucalyptus and mint were combined with methylparaben against P. aeruginosa, while essential oils of mint, oregano and sage combined with propylparaben and imidazolidinyl urea acted against S. aureus. Many binary mixtures of preservatives and surfactants produced synergistic activity with the most effective interactions involving the cationic and amphoteric compounds under study. FIC indexes demonstrated synergistic effects when preservatives were combined with either essential oils or surfactants against both bacterial strains. These results highlight the potential usefulness of essential oils and surfactants to enhance the activities of conventional biocides. This kind of study should contribute to the selection and optimization of preservative systems for cosmetic preparations.
