AB  - Botanicals, such as essential oils (EO) and their compounds, are considered a viable ecofriendly
alternative to synthetic insecticides, which threaten human health and ecosystem functioning.
In the present study, we explored the potential use of two EO compounds, trans-anethole (phenylpropanoid)
and S-(+)-carvone (monoterpene ketone), against gypsy moth larvae (GML), a serious
pest of deciduous forests and orchards. GML feeding, survival, molting, and nutritional physiology
were assessed at different compound concentrations and compared with the effects of the commercial
botanical product NeemAzal®-T/S (neem). The impact of botanicals on GML feeding was assessed
by the leaf-dipping method and showed the highest antifeeding activity of neem in the no-choice
assay. GML that were offered a choice were deterred by anethole and attracted by low concentrations
of carvone and neem. Ingestion of botanicals was more effective in inducing mortality and reducing
molting than residual contact exposure. Anethole and carvone were better toxicants but worse growth
regulators than neem. Assessing nutritional indices revealed reduced growth, consumption, and
food utilization in larvae fed on botanical-supplemented diets. The highest metabolic cost of food
processing was recorded in carvone-fed larvae, which exhibited a negative growth rate. The results
suggest that anethole and carvone might be used as control agents against GML.

AB  - Pest resistance of trees should be taken into account in future forest strategy planning and
predicting risks of defoliation. The gypsy moth (GM) (Lymantria dispar L.) is a serious forest pest
with outbreaking population dynamics. To estimate defoliation risk of the most widely distributed
tree species in Balkan Peninsula and Europe (Turkey oak Quercus cerris L., European beech Fagus
sylvatica L. and hornbeam Carpinus betulus L.), we carried out laboratory feeding trials and investigated
their acceptability and suitability for GM development. We determined morphological and
chemical attributes of these hosts as well as larval host preference, growth and nutritional indices.
Preference, growth, and efficiency of food conversion into biomass were ranked in the order: Turkey
oak > European beech > hornbeam. Hornbeam was the most avoided and showed the lowest conversion
efficiency although, comparing to optimal oak host, its leaves were less tough, contained more
water and exhibited similar values of nitrogen (index of protein content) and C/N ratio (index of
investment into carbon based plant defense). We suggest that hornbeam and beech leaf chemical
profiles should be further studied to reveal specific compounds that impose high metabolic cost
to GM larvae. Moreover, additional research are needed to understand how intermediate hosts in
natural populations affect GM outbreaks.
