Toxicity and repellent activity of monoterpene enantiomers to rice weevils (Sitophilus oryzae)

Hany A. Fouad et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the insecticidal activity of two enantiomeric forms of monoterpenes against Sitophilus oryzae adults. The results showed that (S)-(-)-linalool was the most toxic by contact, (S)-(-)-menthone was the most toxic through fumigation, and the enantiomeric forms of menthone and alpha-pinene were the best repellents. These findings highlight the importance of the form and percentage of enantiomers in commercial products for controlling S. oryzae.

Biochemistry of Terpenes and Recent Advances in Plant Protection

Vincent Ninkuu et al.

Summary: Biodiversity is negatively impacted by synthetic chemicals from agricultural activities, driving the shift towards sustainable agriculture. Plant secondary metabolites, particularly terpenes, offer potential as antimicrobial, insecticidal, and weed control agents, while also attracting natural enemies and beneficial insects.
