The management of this pest is commonly based on repetitive spraying with synthetic pesticides, causing serious environmental damages and increase of resistance by insect population. In the present study, essential oils from the leaves of Artemisia camphorata Vill., Ageratum conyzoides L., Foeniculum vulgare Mill., Lippia alba (Mill.) N. E. Br., Plectranthus neochilus Schltr., and Tagetes erecta L. were investigated for their possible repellent and oviposition-deterrent effects against B. tabaci biotype B on tomato. In a multi-choice assay, P. neochilus essential oil was the most active repellent and oviposition deterrent. Essential oils of A. conyzoides and T. erecta significantly deterred the female B. tabaci biotype B from laying eggs on treated tomato leaflets compared with the control. (E)-Caryophyllene (30.67 %) and the monoterpenes α-pinene (15.02 %) and α-thujene (11.70 %) were identified as the major constituents of the essential oil of P. neochilus. Our findings demonstrated the potential of essential oil of P. neochilus and other oils in the reduction of settlement and oviposition of B. tabaci biotype B on tomato. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.301-308engDeterrenceEssential oilPlectranthus neochilus SchltrSilverleaf whiteflyangiospermbiotypeessential oilovipositionpest controlpest speciespesticide applicationwhiteflyAgeratum conyzoidesAleyrodidaeArtemisiaBemisia argentifoliiBemisia tabaciFoeniculum vulgareGeminiviridaeHemipteraHexapodaLippiaLippia albaLycopersicon esculentumPlectranthusTagetes erectaArtigo10.1007/s10340-012-0462-xWOS:000319166100019Acesso restrito2-s2.0-8487792621674350951063273050000-0002-5912-1339
