Brown planthopper vector-virus transmission in rice and inhibitory effects of plant essential oils
Main Article Content
Abstract
The plant essential oils (plant-EOs) are increasingly interested for the global trend of the sustainable agricultural productions and managements. In the present study, the anti-viral biological activity to inhibit transmission abilities of Rice ragged stunt virus (RRSV) and mortality of the brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens Stål) in different 10 plant-EOs from Thai herbal plants is reported. Of these, those concentrations of plant-EOs between 0.002 to 0.1% from lemongrass, star anise, black pepper, kaffir lime, and kaempfer were highly efficient (10-70%), when compared with the lime, galangal, holy basil, sweet basil, and betelvine which were slightly efficient (10-30%), respectively. In addition, the plant-EOs from lemongrass and star anise were showed 100% BPH mortality at 3% and 5% in all insects’ growth stages. The eggs and instar-nymph stages of BPH vector showed the abnormal shapes and structures that were completely destroyed in 3 days after treatment, whereas the adult stage showed the malformed morphology and died in 5 DAT. The plant-EOs of star anise and lemongrass expressed an effective anti-viral activity to inhibit RRSV-transmission abilities and BPH mortality, which are possible to be the potential candidates for the further development as new commercial anti-viral agents, concrete strategic planning for sustainable agricultural development and management to improve the farmers’ quality of life and food security in Thailand
