Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Citrus aurantium essential oil was more toxic to grapevine aphids (A. illinoisensis), LC50 0.82 μL/mL at 48 h.
- Intervention effect C. aurantium EO at 2.5 μL/cm2 gave the highest repellence of A. punicae, 100% after 3 h.
- Observation Repellence of A. illinoisensis on grapevine was 88%, in contrast to A. punicae.
- Observation GC-MS identified limonene, 3-carene, pinene and p-cymene as the active substances of the Citrus essential oils.
- Recommendation The results offer a potential tool to control the two aphid species in pomegranate and grapevine fields.
