This study tested the effectiveness of aniseed essential oil and its main compound against Nasonovia ribisnigri, the most damaging aphid species of lettuce. The results showed that foliar applications of aniseed essential oil and (E)-anethole reduced the number of aphids without phytotoxic effects on the crop.
Nasonovia ribisnigri Mosley (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is the most damaging aphid species of lettuce grown in open fields. Populations of N. ribisnigri are developing resistance to insecticides, making their control difficult. Botanicals are an alternative for pest control. Aniseed (Pimpinella anisum L.) is a relevant crop in the production of essential oils. The effect of aqueous nano-formulations of this oil and its main compound (E)-anethole were tested against N. ribisnigri in a growth chamber, a greenhouse (in spring for two years, 2019 and 2020) and in the open field in a plot in the Southeast of Spain (Torrepacheco, Murcia) in May 2019. Aniseed essential oil nanoemulsions were prepared using a laboratory dispersing machine at a high-speed regime (10 min, 7940 revs/min, 15 degrees C) using Tween80 as a surfactant at a 1:2 ratio. Foliar applications of aniseed essential oil at concentrations of 0.2% and 0.4% (0.1 and 0.2 mL respectively) to lettuce plants infested with homogeneous populations of N. ribisnigri reduced the number of insects compared with the control in the laboratory (efficacies > 50%) and greenhouse (efficacies > 25%, 48 h after treatment) experiments. During the field trial, a reduction in the aphid populations was also produced after the application of the products, without any phytotoxic effects observed on the crop. Likewise, (E)-anethole gave similar results as aniseed essential oil (with efficiencies of up to 47% with respect to the control) without damaging the plant.
