A study found that essential oils extracted from two chemotypes of Ageratum conyzoides have acaricidal activity against R. microplus, with the oil from purple flower samples being more effective.
Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus represents a significant obstacle to animal productivity in tropical and subtropical areas, leading to considerable economic losses for the dairy and meat production industries. Essential oils (EO) extracted from Ageratum conyzoides are known to cause death and induce morphogenetic abnormalities in several insect species. This plant, however, presents morphological flower variations, which range from white to purple, associated to different chemotypes. In this context, this study aimed to conduct a novel assessment on the effects of EO extracted from two A. conyzoides chemotypes in the control of the bovine tick R. microplus. The primary constituents of the oil obtained from white flower samples (WFs) were precocene I (80.4 %) and (E)caryophyllene (14.8 %), while purple flower oil samples (PFs) contained predominantly beta-acoradiene (12.9 %), gamma-amorphene (12.3 %), alpha-pinene (9.9 %), bicyclogermacrene (8.9 %), alpha-santalene (8.7 %), and andro encecalinol (5.6 %). Interestingly, only the EO chemotype from A. conyzoides PFs displayed acaricidal activity towards R. microplus larvae, with an LC50 of 1.49 mg/mL.
