Abstract:
The management of insect pests and fungal diseases that cause damage to crops has become challenging due to the rise of pesticide and fungicide resistance. The recent developments in studies related to plant-derived essential oil products has led to the discovery of a range of phytochemicals with the potential to combat pesticide and fungicide resistance. This review paper summarizes and interprets the findings of experimental work based on plant-based essential oils in combination with existing pesticidal and fungicidal agents and novel bioactive natural and synthetic molecules against the insect pests and fungi responsible for the damage of crops. The insect mortality rate and fractional inhibitory concentration were used to evaluate the insecticidal and fungicidal activities of essential oil synergists against crop-associated pests. A number of studies have revealed that plant-derived essential oils are capable of enhancing the insect mortality rate and reducing the minimum inhibitory concentration of commercially available pesticides, fungicides and other bioactive molecules. Considering these facts, plant-derived essential oils represent a valuable and novel source of bioactive compounds with potent synergism to modulate crop-associated insect pests and phytopathogenic fungi.
摘要:
由于农药和杀真菌剂抗性的提高,对农作物造成损害的害虫和真菌疾病的管理已变得具有挑战性。与植物衍生的精油产品相关的研究的最新进展导致发现了一系列具有对抗杀虫剂和杀真菌剂抗性的潜力的植物化学物质。这篇综述论文总结并解释了基于植物精油的实验工作结果,结合现有的杀虫和杀真菌剂以及新型生物活性天然和合成分子,对抗造成作物损害的害虫和真菌。昆虫死亡率和部分抑制浓度用于评估精油增效剂对作物相关害虫的杀虫和杀真菌活性。多项研究表明,植物精油能够提高昆虫死亡率,降低市售农药的最低抑制浓度,杀菌剂和其他生物活性分子。考虑到这些事实,植物来源的精油代表了生物活性化合物的有价值的和新的来源,具有有效的协同作用,以调节作物相关的害虫和植物病原真菌。
