Overview

Randomized trial assesses insecticidal effects of essential oils in thrips, suggesting viable eco-friendly alternatives.

Key Points

  • The research aims to examine the insecticidal efficacy of essential oils from Cinnamomum verum and Thymus vulgaris against Thrips parvispinus.
  • Screened ten essential oils for insecticidal activity against T. parvispinus.
  • Conducted gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses to identify bioactive compounds.
  • Performed enzyme inhibition assays and in-silico docking studies to understand the mode of action.
  • Cinnamomum verum and Thymus vulgaris exhibited the highest efficacy against T. parvispinus.
  • Identified bioactive compounds included thymol, α-pinene, and eucalyptol.
  • EOs showed strong binding affinity towards acetylcholinesterase in T. parvispinus, confirming their neurotoxic effects.
