Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Mentha piperita essential oil had a menthol-rich composition.
- Observation Origanum vulgare essential oil had a phenolic/terpenoid profile.
- Observation Lavandula dentata essential oil had a 1,8-cineole-type profile.
- Observation Mentha piperita essential oil at 90 µg·mL−1 air concentration produced 75% larval mortality of S. frugiperda.
- Observation Carvacrol and menthone were the most active constituents against AChE, with IC50 values of 312-330 µg·mL−1.
- Observation Molecular docking indicated that carvacrol and menthone had the most favorable interactions with AChE catalytic-site residues.
- Recommendation The authors suggest the oils are suitable candidates for integrated pest management of S. frugiperda.
- Observation Larvicidal responses were dose- and stage-dependent.
