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  - The Colorado potato beetle (CPB) is a serious pest of economically important Solanaceae
species. The use of essential oil compounds in pest management has been proposed as an alternative
to harmful chemical insecticides that disturb human health and ecosystem functioning. We examined
the antifeedant activity of three concentrations (0.125%, 0.25% and 0.5%) of pure camphor and
a thujone‐camphor mixture against 3rd instar larvae and adults. Their efficacy was evaluated according
to the degree of leaf damage and avoidance of treated leaves by the CPB. Treatment of
potato leaves significantly reduced leaf damage compared to the control. Leaf protection increased
at higher concentrations of the examined compounds. Camphor was more effective against larvae
and the thujone‐camphor mixture was more effective against adults. Additionally, adults moved
faster towards the control leaf disc in the two‐choice olfactometer assay if an alternative disc was
treated with a thujone‐camphor mixture, whereas larvae responded similarly to the two potential
repellents. However, after contact with the leaf disc treated with the highest compound concentration,
the larvae escaped faster from the thujone‐camphor mixture than from pure camphor. In conclusion,
both examined compounds are promising eco‐friendly antifeedants, but their efficacy depends
on the developmental stage of the beetle, compound type and applied concentration.

AB  - Acanthoscelides obtectus Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae), is one of the most important pests of the common bean Phaseolus vulgaris L. Without appropriate management it may cause significant seed loss in storages. In search for means of environmentally safe and effective protection of beans we assessed biological activity of thymol, an oxygenated monoterpene present in essential oils of many aromatic plants. We studied contact toxicity of thymol on bean seeds and its effects on adult longevity and emergence in F1 generation. Furthermore, we determined acetylcholinesterase (AChE), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), mixed-function oxidase (MFO), carboxylesterases (CarE) and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activities in response to 24 h exposure of beetles to sublethal and lethal thymol concentrations. Our results showed that thymol decreased adult survival, longevity and percentage of adult emergence. Higher median lethal concentration (LC50) was recorded in females indicating their higher tolerance comparing to males. Overall, activities of SOD, CAT and CarE increased at sublethal and MFO increased at both sublethal and lethal thymol concentrations. On the other hand, GST and AChE activities decreased along with the increase in thymol concentrations from sublethal (1/5 of LC50, 1/2 of LC50) to lethal (LC50). Enzyme responses to the presence of thymol on bean seed were sex-specific. In the control group females had lower CarE and higher SOD, CAT and GST activity than males. In treatment groups, females had much higher CAT activity and much lower CarE activity than males. Our results contribute to deeper understanding of physiological mechanisms underlying thymol toxicity and tolerance which should be taken into account in future formulation of a thymol-based insecticide.

AB  - The gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Erebidae)) is a serious pest of hardwood
forests. In the search for an environmentally safe means of its control, we assessed the impact
of different concentrations of essential oils (EOs) from the seeds of three Apiaceae plants (anise
Pimpinella anisum, dill Anethum graveolens, and fennel Foeniculum vulgare) on behavior, mortality,
molting and nutritional physiology of gypsy moth larvae (GML). EOs efficacy was compared with
commercial insecticide NeemAzal®-T/S (neem). The main compounds in the Eos were trans-anethole
in anise; carvone, limonene, and  -phellandrene in dill; and trans-anethole and fenchone in fennel
seed. At 1% EOs concentration, anise and fennel were better antifeedants and all three EOs were more
toxic than neem. Neem was superior in delaying 2nd to 3rd larval molting. In the 4th instar, 0.5%,
anise and fennel EOs decreased relative consumption rate more than neem, whereas all three EOs
were more effective in reducing growth rate, approximate digestibility and efficiency of conversion
of food into body mass leading to higher metabolic costs to GML. Decrease in consumption and
metabolic parameters compared to control GML confirmed that adverse effects of the EOs stem from
both pre- and post-ingestive mechanisms. The results indicate the potential of three EOs to be used
for gypsy moth control.

AB  - The Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), is one of the most destructive pest species to have developed resistance to most chemical insecticides. We determined the composition and evaluated the potential of Tanacetum parthenium L. and Tanacetum vulgare L. (Asteraceae family) essential oil (EO) application as an alternative eco-friendly control strategy against L. decemlineata. We assessed the antifeedant activity for L. decemlineata larvae and adults by estimating the damage to potato leaves treated with three concentrations of EOs dissolved in ethanol (0.125, 0.25 and 0.5%). Results showed that T. parthenium EO was more effective against larvae, and T. vulgare was more effective against adults. In an olfactometer assay, the time required to choose an untreated leaf disc did not depend on the Tanacetum species, or life stage examined. However, the concentration of EO exhibited a significant effect on the behaviour of both developmental stages. At higher EO concentrations, both third instar larvae and adults require less time to choose an untreated leaf disc. Additionally, T. parthenium EO provoked more rapid movement away from the treated leaf disc than T. vulgare, especially at the highest concentration. Successful modification of L. decemlineata behaviour by the two Tanacetum oils suggests that they possess the potential for use in potato protection.

AB  - The bean weevil Acanthoscelides obtectus Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) can cause significant losses in production of its primary host common bean Phaseolus vulgaris L. To avoid bean protection with environmentally risky chemical insecticides and provide sustainable and safe production of food, new pest management methods based on natural compounds are investigated. In the present study, we evaluated protective potential of the essential oil (EO) from the common thyme Thymus vulgaris L. applied on bean seeds. We assessed residual contact toxicity of thyme EO and its effects on A. obtectus longevity, oviposition and adult emergence. Furthermore, to elucidate the role of oxidative stress in thyme EO toxicity, we estimated the levels of oxidatively damaged proteins and lipids, as well as the level of thiols which have important role for antioxidant capacity. We found that thyme oil significantly reduced adult survival and longevity, induced oxidative damage to lipids and proteins and depleted protein and non-protein thiols in a concentration-dependent manner. Females appeared to be more tolerant to thyme oil treatment than males. Sublethal EO concentrations affected oxidative stress indices, deterred oviposition and strongly inhibited adult emergence. The results suggest that thyme oil has the potential to be used as an ecofriendly insecticide for A. obtectus control.

AB  - The bean weevil (Acanthoscelides obtectus, Say) is a serious pest of stored bean seeds. Bean weevil control relies heavily on the use of synthetic insecticides. In the search for a sustainable alternative, the residual contact toxicity and anti-oviposition activity of thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) and basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) essential oils as well as their dominant components (thymol, α-pinene, 1,8-cineole and linalool) were tested against A. obtectus adults. Out of the seven tested botanicals, T. vulgaris oil, thymol and linalool exhibited the highest toxic potential (>90% mortality). Females were less susceptible than males. The insecticidal activity of these botanicals was much greater when they were applied on glass compared to direct application to the bean. All tested botanicals reduced oviposition by bean weevil females. T. vulgaris oil, thymol and α-pinene also deterred bean weevil oviposition, as revealed by a two-choice test. Our research shows that T. vulgaris oil and thymol are promising and sustainable alternatives to synthetic pesticides for protecting stored beans against the bean weevil.

AB  - Larvae of gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) are major defoliators of deciduous forests and urban
environment. The biological means of regulation of moth population density were incorporated
along with conventional treatment in the integrative management concept. The effects of tansy
(Tanacetum vulgare L.) essential oil (EO) to gypsy moths were monitored through the effects of
residual contact and digestive toxicity on the mortality and development in the second instar
larvae, but also through the growth and feeding indices of the fourth instar larvae. Although EO
presence didn’t cause residual contact toxicity or significantly affect larval mortality, tested oil notably
elongated developmental time by delaying the molting moment and reduced percentage
of molted larvae. On the other hand, EO digestion caused significant mortality in the second instar
larvae (72% compared to control, at the end of experiment). Digestion of food enriched with tansy
oil decreased the efficiency of the diet, and led to reduced mass gain, and therefore induced the
delay of the molting moment, or completely stopped molting into the third instar larvae. Besides
that, EO reduced the daily mass gain (0.06 mg mg-1 day-1 compared to 0.3 mg mg-1 day-1 in control)
and the food consumption rate (0.61 mg mg-1 day-1 compared to 1.23 mg mg-1 day-1 in control)
in the fourth instar larvae and caused decrease of the conversion rate of digested food to larvae
body mass (10.62% compared to 26.05% in control). Despite that, food assimilation rate to larvae
body mass was not significantly decreased, which moderated negative effects of EO digestion as
well as reduced food intake.

AB  - For long-term protection of stored products there is a growing demand to replace chemical insecticides due to their effects on human health and environmental safety. Particulate materials, such as inert dusts and various submicron and nanomaterials have been extensively tested as viable alternatives. This is the first study on the insecticidal impact of alumina powder (α-Al2O3) on the bruchid pest, Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae). By altering the fuel to oxidant molar ratio (F/O: 0.5, 0.8, 1.2) in an autocombustion reaction we synthesized alumina powders with specific surface area and particle size varying from the nano- to micron scale. It was found that particle morphology influenced survival and progeny number of A. obtectus. The order of powders from low to high efficacy in reducing beetle performance (F/O-0.8 < F/O-0.5 < F/O-1.2) correlated well with increase in surface area, pore volume and diameter, and decrease in particle size. Survival was also affected by time of exposure, the applied dose and sex. The estimated median lethal concentration of the most efficient powder F/O-1.2 was significantly lower in males (LC50 = 330.4 ppm) than in females (LC50 = 409.6 ppm). Our results suggest that alumina powder can be considered for seed protection against A. obtectus, particularly during long-term storage, as it is cost effective, exerts limited toxicity to humans and demands no repetitive use like conventional pesticides.

AB  - A faunistic study of the family Elateridae was carried out in Bačka, the north-western district of Vojvodina Province in Serbia, focusing on their preferred habitats and soil types. The survey included four locations with a total of 1059 ha, in which 35 species, belonging to 15 genera of Elateridae, were observed. The frequency of larval and adult forms was 58.94% and 67.40%, respectively, proving that wireworms are regular residents of the area. Regarding habitat preferences, it was shown that a majority of Elateridae species prefer open biotopes and wheat crop, while marsh soil, chernozem and alluvium were the preferred soil types of wireworms.

AB  - Larvae of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar L. (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae), a generalist species, fre-
quently encounter spatial and temporal variations in diet quality. Such variation favoured the evolu-
tion of high behavioural and physiological plasticity which, depending on forest stand composition,
enables more or less successful exploitation of the environment. Even in mixed oak stands, a suitable
habitat, interspecific and intraspecific host quality variation may provoke significant variation in
gypsy moth performance and, consequently, defoliation severity. To elucidate the insufficiently
explored relationship between gypsy moth and oaks (Fagaceae), we carried out reciprocal switches
between Turkey oaks (Quercus cerris L.) and less nutritious Hungarian oaks (Quercus frainetto Ten.)
(TH and HT groups), under controlled laboratory conditions, and compared larval performance
between the switched larvae and larvae continuously fed on either Turkey oak (TT) or Hungarian
oak (HH). We found that larval traits were most strongly affected by among-tree variation in oak
quality and identity of the host consumed during the fourth instar. Switching from Turkey to Hun-
garian oak (TH) led to a longer period of feeding, decrease of mass gain, growth, and consumption
rate, lower efficiency of food use and nutrient conversion, and increase of protease and amylase activ-
ities. Larvae exposed to the reverse switch (HT) attained values of these traits characteristic for TT lar-
vae. It appeared that the lower growth in the TH group than in the TT group was caused by both
behavioural (consumption, pre-ingestive) and metabolic (post-digestive) effects from consuming
oaks. Multivariate analyses of growth, consumption, and efficiency of food use revealed that early diet
experience influenced the sensitivity of the most examined traits to less suitable Hungarian oaks, sug-
gesting the development of behavioural and physiological adjustments. Our results indicate that
lower risks of defoliation by gypsy moth might be expected in mixed stands with a higher proportion
of Hungarian oak.

Though interviewing local people on identification of plants, plant parts used, methods of remedy preparation and administration, 231 wild plant species of medicinal importance from 172 genera and 62 families, and 101 original preparations were documented. A high degree of consensus (ICF > 0.45) was observed among informants when treating the most common ailments: wound infections, insect/snake bites, blood purification, menstrual and nervous disorders, bronchial/lung catarrhs, cough, cardiac disorders, constipation, diarrhea, urinary infections, rheuma. Most of medicinal plants listed by informants were available, while seven of them were classified as endangered and entered into the system of statutory protection. This study confirmed the extensive indigenous knowledge on medicinal plants, and pointed to some ways of usage that have not been documented in the literature.

AB  - The  gypsy  moth,  Lymantria  dispar   (L.)  (Lepidoptera:  Lymantriidae),  causes  enormous  damage  to  broadleaved  forests  in  the  northern  hemisphere  where  it  frequently  defoliates  large  areas  of  forest.  Since  outbreaks  begin  in  oak  forests,  its  most  suitable  habitat, we determined the preference and performance of gypsy moth larvae when reared on three species of native oaks: sessile oak, Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.; Turkey oak, Q. cerris L.; and Hungarian oak, Q. frainetto
 (Ten.). Leaf expansion and selected physical and chemical characteristics of the oak leaves were also measured. The shortest development time and highest relative consumption (RCR), growth rate (RGR), assimilation efficiency (AD), efficiency of conversion of ingested food (ECI) and digested food into larval 
biomass (ECD) values were recorded when larvae were fed on Turkey oak. Two-choice tests revealed that Turkey oak is the preferred host plant. It had the highest total soluble protein and leaf nitrogen content, lowest C/N ratio and its phenology was well synchronized with the hatching of the larvae. The worst performance and lowest preference index were recorded when fed on Hungarian oak, the 
leaves of which had the lowest protein and nitrogen content, while in terms of the values for preference and performance the larvae fed on sessile oak were intermediate. Our results indicate that forests with Turkey oak are highly likely to be defoliated by gypsy moth larvae and therefore should be regularly monitored.

AB  - The pollen morphology and exine ornamentation of an important autochthon plum cultivar (Prunus domestica cv. Pozegaca L), which has horticultural, medicinal and alimentary uses, was examined in detail using both light and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Acetocarmine and fluorescein diacetate were used to assess the pollen viability of four Pozegaca plum genotypes. Pollen viability varied from 67% in genotype Pdp1 to 99% in genotype Pdp4. Also, pollen nucleus status was determined, and binucleate mature pollens were detected. The effect of polyethylene glycol-PEG (10, 15 and 20%, w/v) on pollen germination and tube growth was evaluated. Overall, the inclusion of PEG in the medium improved both pollen germination and tube growth. Regardless of the PEG concentration genotype has an effect on germination and length of pollen tubes. Genotype has a pronounced effect on germination and length of pollen tubes, regardless of the PEG concentration used. Genotype Pdp4 had the highest germination percentage and the highest pollen tube length on all media when compared to the other three genotypes. The highest pollen germination (96%) and a tube length (822 mu m) of genotype PdP4 was attained in media with 20% PEG. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB  - Studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of the ethanol extracts from five aromatic medicinal plants against the bean weevil, Acanthoscelides obtectus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). The extracts were tested for potential to protect stored legume seeds in terms of their repellency, toxicity and reduction of F1 progeny. Significant insecticidal activity was exhibited only by the 100% concentrated extracts from Urtica dioica L. and Taraxacum officinale L., whereas both 100 and 30% extracts from these plants were effective in repellency and reduction of F1 progeny. Although the extract form Achillea millefolium L. (100%) was ineffective in insecticidal activity, it provided a good level of repellency and reduction of F1 progeny. Extracts from Sambucus nigra L. and Juglans regia L. were ineffective in all conducted bioassays. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB  - Secondary plant metabolites can express the regulatory effects on development and survival of other plant species, microorganisms or animals. In this study, we investigated the toxic and antifeedant effect of ethanol solutions of derivatives obtained from sage (the essential oil, five fractions of the same oil F1 -F5, and the camphor) against the second instar larvae and adults of Colorado potato beetle (CPB). The bioassays were performed in laboratory conditions. Toxicity of tested solutions was negligible; with exception of S. officinalis essential oil which caused low mortality of insect (29.16% dead larvae and 20.83% dead adults, respectively). Alternations in development evaluated as number in both laid eggs and hatched larvae were insignificant. Antifeedant activity of tested solutions against the CPB larvae during the first 96h was significant; although their effectiveness decreased after 4 days, the LAM was still lesser in comparing with untreated control.
