Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the acaricidal effect of the essential oils from Chenopodium ambrosioides L. and Peperomia inaequalifolia Ruiz & Pav. on eggs and adult females of Tetranychus urticae, present on strawberry plants (Fragaria spp). The essential oils were obtained through steam distillation and analyzed using the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) technique. The oils were diluted in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at concentrations ranging from 0.5% to 4% for ovicidal assays and 2.5% to 0.125% for acaricidal tests. These solutions were brought into contact with T. urticae eggs to assess their viability and with adult mite females to determine the lethality as CL50 in randomized treatments. Tetradifon (ovicidal) and abamectin (acaricidal) were used as positive controls, and DMSO as the negative control. The chemical analysis of the oils revealed that the most abundant molecules in C. ambrosioides were sylvestrene (18,68 %), trans-p-Mentha-2,8-dienol (18,06 %), trans-p-mentha-1(7),8-dien-2-ol (11,75%) and cis-p-mentha-1(7),8-dien-2-ol (11,74%); while in P. inaequalifolia, elemicin (36,33%) and myristicin (20.21%) were predominant. Individual essential oils proved to be highly effective in inhibiting the development of mite eggs. Trials with adult females exhibited variability in response to the essential oils, with high lethality in P. inaequalifolia and modest lethality in C. ambrosioides. Overall, significant activity was observed in the oils and their mixtures as ovicides, with P. inaequalifolia standing out as oil with acaricidal potential
