Abstract. Ikawati S, Himawan T, Abadi AL, Tarno H. 2020. Fumigant and feeding deterrent activity of essential oils against Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens) (Coleoptera: Laemophloeidae). Biodiversitas 21: 4301-4308. This study aimed to determine the fumigant and antifeedant activity of some plant essential oils against Cryptolestes ferrugineus. Essential oils were extracted from cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix), citronella grass (Cymbopogon nardus), zodea (Euodia suaveolens), and clove (Syzygium aromaticum). The extraction used the maceration method with n-Hexane as a solvent. The results of the experiments showed that all essential oils have fumigant toxicity. Fumigant toxicity of kaffir lime, citronella grass, zodea, and clove oil; eggs and pupae were more susceptible than adults and larvae, while for cinnamon, pupae and adults were more susceptible than eggs and larvae. Median Lethal Concentration (LC50) of all essential oils for eggs larvae, pupae, and adults respectively, for cinnamon were 17, 24, 9, and 12 ppm, for kaffir lime were 12, 17, 8 and 15 ppm, however, on citronella grass were 11, 22, 8, and 14 ppm, for zodea were 16, 22, 10 and 20 ppm, for clove were 11, 24, 7 and 14 ppm. The fifth essential oils showed antifeedant activity in a no-choice test against C. ferrugineus adults. Also, the fifth essential oils significantly reduced the relative growth rate (RGR), relative consumption rate (RCR), and food utilization (ECI) of C. ferrugineus adults. It shows that the essential oils have great potential as one of the storage pest control components.

Abstract. Ikawati S, Himawan T, Abadi AL, Tarno H. 2020. Thermostability, photostability, and toxicity of clove oil nanoparticles against Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens) (Coleoptera: Laemophloeidae). Biodiversitas 21: 4764-4771. Problems related to the essential oils as insecticides are their volatility, poor solubility in water and environmental degradation (such as caused by high temperatures and UV light) which can adversely affect the application. An ideal botanical insecticide formulation would maintain the level of the main compounds adequate for pest control. This study was to evaluate the stability of polyethylene glycol (PEG) coated nanoparticles loaded with clove (Syzygium aromaticum) essential oil to high temperature and UV light also their toxicity to C. ferrugineus. There is a reduction in nanoparticle size after heating from 257 to 173 nm and there is no difference in size distribution. After heating and UV-light treatment, eugenol content in free clove oil decreased significantly, while on nanoparticles there were not significantly changed, that indicated greater stability on the nanoformulation. The median lethal concentration (LC50) of CO-NPs to C. ferrugineus adults value for 72 and 120 hours was 0.734 and 0.676%.
