The field of the present disclosure relates to insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control compositions. More specifically, the field relates to insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control compositions comprising essential oils, or more specifically, terpenoids.
Citronella-based insect repellents are widely used. Citronella is a major component of lemongrass oil, and lemongrass oil has been incorporated into topical repellents that exhibit repellency similar to synthetic repellents. See e.g., A. O. Oyedelea, A. A. Gboladeb, M. B. Sosanc, F. B. Adewoyind, O. L. Soyeluc, O. O. Orafidiya. Formulation of an effective mosquito-repellent topical product from Lemongrass oil. Volume 9, Issue 3 PHYTOMEDICINE Pages 259-262 (2002). In addition to repelling mosquitos, lemongrass oil exhibits insecticidal effects against ants, fleas, ticks, termites, and dust mites. Lemongrass oil also demonstrates anti-larval activity.
Other natural oils, such as cinnamaldehyde (cinnamon oil), eugenol (clove oil), allicin (garlic oil), thyme oil, linalool (mint oil), geraniol, castor oil, hydrogenated castor oil, rosemary oil, and cedarwood oil, for example, also demonstrate various levels of insecticidal, bactericidal, and fungicidal activities in addition to repellency. These natural oils are related through active components in the terpene, terpenoid, and flavonoid classes of compounds.
Plant essential oils, such as for example coriander, lavender, rose, garlic, and thyme have been shown to repel or kill insects with various levels of success (Mann et al., J. Appl. Entomol. 136:87-96 (2012)). Pest repellency, however, requires a combination of broad application across not only species (e.g., against different insects), but also extending to other pests such as, e.g., bacteria and fungi. Additionally, repellency should harmonize with cidal activity as well as a capacity to retain residual control and/or cidal effects on treated substrates (Scham et al., J. Entomol. Zool. Stud. 8:2053-58 (2021)).
Natural pest control products include Essentria® IC-3 Insecticide Concentrate by Zoëcon® Professional Products, NatureShield® Insect & Pest Repellent by American Hydro Systems®, and Thyme Guard® bactericide and fungicide, with insecticidal activity on sucking insects. The active ingredients of Essentria® IC-3 Insecticide Concentrate are rosemary oil, geraniol, and peppermint oil. The label of Essentria® IC-3 Insecticide Concentrate states that it controls ants, bed bugs, cockroaches, fleas, flies, mosquitos, occasional invaders, spiders, ticks, wasps and 30 other pests. NatureShield® Insect & Pest Repellent uses different active ingredients including garlic oil, cinnamon oil, castor oil, and cedar oil to control mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, ants, carpenter ants, centipedes, cockroaches, gnats, fire ants, silverfish, and other crawling and flying insects. Thyme Guard® bactericide and fungicide, with insecticidal activity, is a 23% thyme oil composition that is a broad spectrum contact liquid bactericide, fungicide, and insecticide for use on all organic crops.
However, these formulations suffer from numerous disadvantages including inadequate repellency. These natural insect repellents also fail to persist after application and either lose their repellency or require frequent application. Thus, there remains a need for compositions that efficiently kill and continue to kill and repel insects at each life cycle stage and retain efficacy after application. Further, while the aforementioned natural oils contain some level of cidal activity, there is a need in the art to maximize activity for both the killing and control of pests. Additionally, a matrix of activity across such a diverse list of agricultural pests by oil type and by combination to reach synergistic performance is lacking in the field.

Fungi control compositions according to the present subject matter can provide at least or more than about 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% fungicidal efficiency. These values can also be used to form ranges, such as, for example, from about 15% to about 85% fungicidal efficiency. The percent fungicidal efficiency is based on the percentage of the proportion of fungi that die as measured immediately after treatment to 96 hours after treatment. For example, 100% fungicidal efficiency indicates that all fungi counted between 48 to 72 hours after treatment were dead, and 50% fungicidal efficiency indicates that half of the fungi were dead and half were alive when counted 48 to 72 hours after treatment.

In some embodiments, the soap can be organic soap. Organic soaps are soaps crafted without the use of chemically-altered, man-made preservation methods. In some embodiments, the organic soap is soap nut oil extract from Sapindus mukorossi (Indian soapberry, washnut, or ritha).
In some embodiments, the soap can be regular soap. In comparison to organic soaps, regular soaps are chemically-altered and/or made with preservatives.
Rosemary oil is derived from the aromatic herb Rosmarinus officinalis and is used in food and cosmetic applications for its aromatic, antioxidant, antiseptic, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. The main chemical components of rosemary oil are α-pinene, camphor, and 1,8-cineole.
Mint oil has been used in food and cosmetic applications and has been used medicinally, especially to treat gastrointestinal disorders. Mint oils have also demonstrated insect repellent properties. There are several varieties of mint from which oil can be extracted to yield mint oils of different compositions. In one embodiment, the mint oil comprises Montana mint oil, peppermint oil, wintergreen oil, spearmint oil, linalool or a combination thereof.

In one embodiment, the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition of the present disclosure may be used to kill insects, bacteria, and/or fungi in a treatment area (e.g., a field, orchard, or garden). Thus, in one embodiment, the present disclosure is directed to a method of killing insects, bacteria, and/or fungi in a treatment area comprising applying the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition of the present disclosure to a treatment area in an amount effective to kill about 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% of insects in the treated area. These values can also be expressed as ranges, for example, the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control compositions kill about 40% to 100%, 45% to 95%, 55% to 90%, or 60% to 85% of insects, bacteria, and/or fungi in a treatment area when applied to said treatment area.
In another embodiment, the present disclosure is directed to a method of effectively controlling insects, bacteria, and/or fungi in a treatment area comprising applying the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition of the present disclosure to a treatment area in an amount effective to control about 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, 60%, 61%, 62%, 63%, 64%, 65%, 66%, 67%, 68%, 69%, 70%, 71%, 72%, 73%, 74%, 75%, 76%, 77%, 78%, 79%, 80%, 81%, 82%, 83%, 84%, 85%, 86%, 87%, 88%, 89%, 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%, or 100% of insects, bacteria, and/or fungi in the treated area. These values can also be expressed as ranges, for example, the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control compositions effectively control about 60% to 100%, 65% to 95%, 75% to 90%, or 70% to 85% of insects, bacteria, and/or fungi in a treatment area when applied to said treatment area.
In certain embodiments, the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition of the present disclosure can be used to disrupt the insect egg cycle. For example, pheromone interruption can occur when female insects encounter oils that affect the females' ability to mate. Soaps and castor oil may cause mortality to eggs, either previously laid, or being carried within the female insect.
In certain embodiments, the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition can kill, repel, and disrupt the egg cycle. Soap activates when absorbed into the body of the insect via its breathing apparatuses, including spiracles and siphons. The absorbed soap causes insect death as the soap expands within the insect's body. Oils repel via pheromone interruption, as described above.
The quantity of insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition to be applied depends on a number of factors, such as whether the application area is indoors or outdoors. In some embodiments, ⅛ gallon, ¼ gallon, ⅜ gallon, ½ gallon, ⅝ gallon, ¾ gallon, ⅞ gallon, 1 gallon, or 1¼ gallons of diluted insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition is applied per 1000 square feet or per acre. These values can also be expressed as ranges, for example, ⅛ gallon to 1¼ gallons, ⅜ gallon to 1 gallon, ½ gallon to ⅞ gallon, or ⅝ gallon to ¾ gallon of diluted insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition applied per 1000 square feet or per acre. In some embodiments, about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 20 ounces of insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition is diluted per gallon. These values can also be expressed as ranges, for example, about 1-20, 2-19, 3-17, 4-16, 5-15, 6-14, 7-13, 8-12, 9-11, 1-18, 1-16, 1-14, 1-12, 1-10, 1-8, 1-6, 1-4, 1-2, 2-20, 4-20, 6-20, 8-20, 10-20, 12-20, 14-20, 16-20, or 18-20 ounces per gallon. Insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition can be applied using high pressure blowers, backpack blowers, pump up backpack sprayers, and other sprayers. Sprayers can be handheld (e.g., STIHL®), an automated irrigation system, or even spray bottles. When handheld sprayers and irrigation systems are used, the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition may be diluted during application. When spray bottles are used, the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition is diluted prior to application. In one embodiment, the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition (concentrated or diluted) are dispersed using aerosol cans/sprayers, vaporizers, or bombs. In one embodiment, treatment areas include at least a portion of an object that is dipped into insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control compositions of the present disclosure, either concentrated or diluted. For example a potted plant or insect netting can be dipped into the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition.
The duration of the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition's effectiveness after application, and thus, the frequency of application depends on factors, such as the degree of infestation, the area to be treated, and the climate. For example, insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control compositions of the present disclosure may effectively control and/or kill insects, bacteria, and/or fungi for at least 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours, 6 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 9 hours, 10 hours, 11 hours, 12 hours, 13 hours, 14 hours, 15 hours, 16 hours, 17 hours, 18 hours, 19 hours, 20 hours, 21 hours, 22, hours, 23 hours, 24 hours, 25 hours, 26 hours, 27 hours, 28 hours, 29 hours, 30 hours, 31 hours, 32 hours, 33 hours, 34 hours, 35 hours, 36 hours 37 hours, 38 hours, 39 hours, 40 hours, 41 hours, 42 hours, 43 hours, 44 hours, 45 hours, 46 hours 47 hours, 48 hours, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 8 days, 9 days, 10 days, 11 days, 12 days, 13 days, 14 days, 15 days, 16 days, 17 days, 18 days, 19 days, 20 days, 21 days, 22 days, 23 days, 24 days, 25 days, 26 days, 27 days, 28 days, 29 days, or 30 days per application. These values can also be expressed as ranges, for example, insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control compositions of the present disclosure may effectively control and/or kill insects, bacteria, and/or fungi for at least 1 hour to 7 days, 7 days to 10 days, 10 days to 14 days, 14 days to 17 days, 17 days to 20 days, 20 days to 23 days, 23 days to 26 days, or 26 days to 30 days, inclusive.
In one embodiment, the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control compositions retain the ability to kill at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% of insects, bacteria, and/or fungi for at least four weeks, or more. In one embodiment, the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control compositions retain the ability to kill at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% of insects, bacteria, and/or fungi for at least three weeks. In one embodiment, the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control compositions retain the ability to kill at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% of insects, bacteria, and/or fungi for at least two weeks. In one embodiment, the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control compositions retain the ability to kill at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or 100% of insects, bacteria, and/or fungi for at least one week. These values can also be expressed as ranges, for example, insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control compositions of the present disclosure may kill 100%-80% of insects, bacteria, and/or fungi for one week, 100%-80% of insects, bacteria, and/or fungi for two weeks, 90%-80% of insects, bacteria, and/or fungi for three weeks, and 85%-80% for four weeks.

In certain aspects, the disclosure relates to a method of effectively control insects, bacteria, and/or fungi on a surface, comprising applying an insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition as disclosed herein to a surface in an amount effective to control insects on the surface. The surface can be, e.g., leaves, stems, and fruit of trees, field crops, vegetables, vine crops, and the like.
For indoor treatment areas (e.g., greenhouses and/or houseplants), an insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition may be applied once per month, or more frequently (e.g., once every three weeks, once every two weeks, weekly, every other day, or every day). To treat areas where the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition is likely to be washed away by rain or frequent watering, more frequent applications may be necessary. In certain embodiments, the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition of the disclosure is applied in a manner to treat outbreaks, or new infestations, as close as possible to the beginning stages of the outbreak rather than after the infestation has already set in place. In some embodiments, reapplication of the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition may occur when a previous application of the insect, bacteria, and/or fungi control composition has lost at least about 80% of its lethal control of an insect, bacteria, and/or fungi on a given treatment area.

EXAMPLE 1-Individual Components v. Present Formulation
Escherichia coli was grown in the presence of each component or combinations to determine the inhibitory potential. The components and the concentrations tested were: soapnut extract (Sapindus mukorossi) at 1 mg/mL, geraniol at 8 μL/mL, castor oil at 10 μL/mL, glyceryl monostearate at 22 mg/mL, rosemary oil at 7 L/mL, potassium sorbate at 3 mg/mL, and Essential Oils-Ark at 100 μL/mL. The control consisted of soapnut extract (Sapindus mukorossi) at 1 mg/mL, glyceryl monostearate at 22 mg/mL, potassium sorbate at 3 mg/mL, and mineral oil at 25 μL/mL. The appropriate amount of each component was added to 5 mL of LB media, and each culture was inoculated with 50 μL of a 12 hour old culture of E. coli. The cultures were grown for 12 hours at 37° C. with shaking at 225 rpm before being serial diluted and plated onto solid LB agar plates (5 μL per plate) in triplicate. Plates were incubated for 24 hours at 37° C., and then colonies were counted to determine the inhibitory potential.
The Essential Oils-Ark (“Organic Crop Product” or “OCP”) formulation is as follows:
Combinations of essential oils, each at the concentration indicated in Example 1, were assayed for their inhibitory potential in a similar manner as Example 1.
EXAMPLE 3-Direct Spray of Organic Crop Product Formulation
Treatment Arenas: The Test Arenas were used to contain the test systems during the test substance applications. Fall armyworms and Southern corn rootworms were treated in 1.75″×0.5″ chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) cartridges covered with tulle mesh. Pea Aphids were treated in 1.75″×0.5″ CPVC cartridges covered with BIOQUIP® 7250NSW mesh. House crickets were treated in 2.75″×0.5″ CPVC cartridges covered with tulle mesh.
Post-Treatment Arenas: Clean post-treatment arenas were used to contain the test systems after exposure to the test substance(s). Fall armyworms were kept in 35 mm plastic Petri dishes. A single fall armyworm was placed in each post-treatment arena to avoid cannibalism. A cube of noctuid diet was placed in each post-treatment arena as a food source. House crickets were kept in 20 oz SOLO® cups with a mesh lid. A potato chunk was placed in each post-treatment arena as a food source. Pea aphids were kept in 9 oz SOLO® cups with a solid lid. A water-moistened filter paper was placed in the bottom of each cup. A bundle of clover stems was wrapped in water-moistened filter paper and placed in each arena as a food/moisture source. Southern corn rootworms were placed in 9 oz SOLO® cups with a solid lid. A water-moistened filter paper was placed in the bottom of each cup. Corn leaf cuttings were placed in each post-treatment arena as a food source.
Volumetric Measuring Equipment: Graduated cylinders and/or beakers were used as needed in preparing the test substance(s).
CO2 and Regulator: A standard 20-pound CO2 cylinder with regulator was used to anesthetize the test systems and sort them into the test arenas (prior to exposure to the test substances). The test systems were allowed to adequately recover from anesthetizing before being exposed to the test substance(s). They were not anesthetized at any point following exposure to the test substance(s). Any additional transfers required after exposure to the test substances was conducted using methods that did not involve anesthetizing.
Intermediate Sorting/Transfer Containers: Additional sorting and transfer containers were used to aid in moving the test systems from the primary rearing/collection containers and into the treatment and/or post-treatment arenas.
Metronome/Timing Equipment: A metronome and/or other timing equipment were used as needed to assist in the timing when conducting the applications and/or when collecting the observations.
Application Equipment: A 2.5-gallon gas-powered STIHL® backpack blower was used to make applications for the 8 oz/gallon dilution. The remaining non-control test substances were applied with a pressurized sprayer utilizing a flat fan nozzle.
Each Treatment and/or Post-Treatment Arena was labeled with a test substance code and a replicate number. The arenas were positioned on a clean tray and grouped together per test substance type. The tray(s) with the Treatment and Post-Treatment Arenas were also labeled using the study name, trial name, and the study initiation date (as a duplicate means of ensuring accurate data collection).
The test systems were sorted into the Treatment Arenas using the appropriate methods based on the species type.
All test systems were confirmed to be of “good vigor” (alive) prior to exposure to the test substance(s).
Only live test systems were selected for use in the study.
After all test systems were transferred into the test arenas, they were confirmed to be alive and exhibiting normal behavior before continuing with the study.
The number of replicates conducted per test substance and the number of test systems evaluated per replicate were as follows:
The Essential Oils-Ark (“Organic Crop Product” or “OCP”) formulation is as follows:
OCP were shaken and then mixed to 8 oz/gal, ½ gal/acre, ¼ gal/acre, and ⅛ gal/acre dilutions.
The OCP were adequately shaken prior to applications. For the 8 oz/gal dilution, the applications were made using a 2.5 gallon STIHL® backpack sprayer set on the 2nd flow rate setting with the misting screen on the applicator. 2.5 linear feet were covered with the sprayer in 1.29 seconds from a 3′ distance. This equated to a rate of 1500 ft2/gallon of solution. The ½ gal/acre, ¼ gal/acre, and ⅛ gal/acre dilutions were applied using a pressurized sprayer (20 psi) with a flat fan nozzle. These applications were made on a track spray fixture. A 48.6″ length was sprayed in one second from a 12″ distance.
The number of “Alive”, “Knockdown (KD)”, and “Dead” test systems per arena were recorded prior to applications (Pre-trt) 30 mins, 1 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 24 hrs, and then daily as needed until all non-control test systems were dead.
The observations were made by raising the test arenas and gently blowing air on the test systems to provoke movement, lightly prodding the test systems, or the test arenas were shaken/agitated to provoke test system movement.
The test systems were transferred from the Treatment Arenas into the clean Post-Treatment Arenas 1 hour after the applications.

The test systems were tested under ambient laboratory conditions.
The environmental conditions were recorded during the study:
The results of this study are shown in Tables 4-7, which illustrate the percent mortality of their respective test systems after test substance applications.
Against fall armyworms (Table 4), OCP (8 oz/gal), OCP (½ gal/acre), OCP (¼ gal/acre), and OCP (⅛ gal/acre) recorded 85%, 95%, 88%, and 48% mortality by the three-days after treatment (3DAT) observation, respectively. By the five-days after treatment (5DAT) observation, all OCP populations, except for the ⅛ gal/acre population, reached 100% mortality. The ⅛ acre population recorded 63% mortality by the 5DAT observation. All four OCP populations had levels of mortality that were statistically higher than the levels of mortality recorded for the control populations at the 3DAT observation. At the 3DAT observation, the 8 oz/gal, ½ gal/acre, and ¼ gal/acre populations recorded statistically similar levels of mortality. The 8 oz/gal, ½ gal/acre, and ¼ gal acre populations yield mortality levels that were statistically higher than those of the ⅛ gal/acre population at the 3DAT observation.
Against house crickets (Table 5), OCP (8 oz/gal), OCP (½ gal/acre), OCP (¼ gal/acre), and OCP (⅛ gal/acre) recorded 88%, 78%, 63%, and 68% mortality by the 24 hr. observation, respectively. By the two-days after treatment (2DAT) observation, all 2DAT populations reached 100% mortality. No statistical difference was observed between the mortality rates of the different OCP populations at the 24 hr. observation. All four OCP populations had levels of mortality that were statistically higher than the levels of mortality recorded at the 24 hr. observation.
Against pea aphids (Table 6), all four OCP iterations recorded 100% mortality by the 24 hr. observation. No statistical difference was observed between the mortality rates of the different OCP populations at the 24 hr. observation. All four OCP populations had levels of mortality that were statistically higher than the levels of mortality recorded from the control population at the 24 hr. observation.
Against Southern corn rootworm (Table 7), OCP (8 oz/gal), OCP (½ gal/acre), OCP (¼ gal/acre), and OCP (⅛ gal/acre) recorded 100%, 100%, 100%, and 98% mortality by the 24 hr. observation, respectively. By the 2DAT observation, all 2DAT populations reached 100% mortality. No statistical difference was observed between the mortality rates of the different OCP populations at the 24 hr. observation. All four OCP populations had levels of mortality that were statistically higher than the levels of mortality recorded at the 24 hr. observation.
These results indicate that OCP is highly effective as a direct spray insecticide against house crickets, pea aphids, and Southern corn rootworms when applied at 8 oz/gal with a backpack sprayer or when at applied at the ½ gal/acre, ¼ gal/acre, or ⅛ gal/acre with a pressurized spray system. OCP is also highly effective as a direct spray insecticide against fall armyworms when applied at 8 oz/gal with a back sprayer or when applied at the ½ gal/acre or ¼ gal/acre rates with a pressurized spray system. OCP exhibits moderate efficacy against house crickets when applied at a rate of ⅛ gal/acre with a pressurized spray system.
EXAMPLE 4-Residual Effects of Organic Crop Product Formulation
Surface Type: Camellia leaves staples to plywood panels. The test substance(s) were applied to the surfaces.
Cover Type: A 90 mm plastic Petri dish was vented by means of a mesh-covered hole in the top. These vented Petri dishes were used to contain the test systems to the test surfaces.
Post-Treatment Arenas: Clean post-treatment arenas were used to contain the test systems after exposure to the test substance(s). Fall armyworms were kept in 35 mm plastic petri dishes. A single fall armyworm was placed in each post-treatment arena to avoid cannibalism. A cube of noctuid diet was placed in each post-treatment arena as a food source. House crickets were kept in 20 oz SOLO® cups with a mesh lid. A potato chunk was placed in each post-treatment arena as a food source. Pea aphids were kept in 9 oz SOLO® cups with a solid lid. A water-moistened filter paper was placed in the bottom of each cup. A bundle of clover stems was wrapped in water-moistened filter paper and placed in each arena as a food/moisture source. Southern corn rootworms were placed in 9 oz SOLO® cups with a solid lid. A water-moistened filter paper was placed in the bottom of each cup. Corn leaf cuttings were placed in each post-treatment arena as a food source.
Volumetric Measuring Equipment: Graduated cylinders and/or beakers were used as needed in preparing and/or measuring the flow rates of the test substance(s).
CO2 and Regulator: CO2 was used to anesthetize the test systems and sort them into the test arenas (prior to exposure to the test substances). The test systems were allowed to adequately recover from anesthetizing before being exposed to the test substance(s), and they were not anesthetized at any point following exposure to the test substance(s). Any additional transfers required after exposure to the test substances was conducted using methods that did not involve anesthetizing.
Intermediate Sorting/Transfer Containers: Additional sorting and transfer containers were used to aid in moving the test systems from the primary rearing/collection containers and into the treatment and/or post-treatment arenas.
Metronome/Timing Equipment: A metronome and/or other timing equipment were used as needed to assist in the timing when conducting the applications and/or when collecting the observations.
Application Equipment: A 2.5-gallon gas-powered STIHL® backpack blower was used to make applications for the 8 oz/gallon dilution. The remaining non-control test substances were applied with a pressurized sprayer utilizing a flat fan nozzle.
The Essential Oils-Ark (“Organic Crop Product” or “OCP”) formulation is as follows:
OCP were shaken and then mixed to 8 oz/gal, ½ gal/acre, ¼ gal/acre, and ⅛ gal/acre dilutions.
OCP were adequately shaken prior to applications. For the 8 oz/gal dilution, the applications were made using a 2.5 gallon STIHL® backpack sprayer set on the 2nd flow rate setting with the misting screen on the applicator. 2.5 linear feet were covered with the sprayer in 1.29 seconds from a 3′ distance. This equated to a rate of 1500 ft2/gallon of solution. The ½ gal/acre, ¼ gal/acre, and ⅛ gal/acre dilutions were applied using a pressurized sprayer (20 psi) with a flat fan nozzle. These applications were made on a track spray fixture. A 48.6″ length was sprayed in one second from a 12″ distance.
After applications, the test surfaces were aged outdoors, unprotected from sunlight, but protected from rainfall by means of clear plastic paneling.
Test systems were exposed to the test surfaces at 7 days, 14 days, and 21 days after treatment (DAT). Pea aphids were exposed at 22 DAT due to a delay in shipment.
Prior to applications, each Surface Type and/or Post-Treatment Arena was labeled with a test substance code and a replicate number. The arenas were positioned on a clean tray and grouped together per test substance type. The tray(s) with the Surface Types and/or Post-Treatment Arenas were also labeled using the study name, trial name, and the study initiation date (as a duplicate means of ensuring accurate data collection).
The test systems were sorted onto the surfaces using the appropriate methods based on the species type.
All test systems were confirmed to be of “good vigor” (alive) prior to exposure to the surfaces.
Only live test systems were selected for use in the study.
After all test systems were transferred onto the surfaces, they were confirmed to be alive and exhibiting normal behavior before continuing with the study.
The number of replicates conducted per test substance and the number of test systems evaluated per replicate were as follows for each aged evaluation:
The number of “Alive”, “Knockdown (KD)”, and “Dead” test systems per arena was recorded prior to surface exposure (Pre-trt), and at 30 min, 1 hr, 2 hrs, 4 hrs, 24 hrs and then daily as needed.
The observations were collected by raising the test arenas and gently blowing air on the test systems to provoke movement, lightly prodding the test systems, or the test arenas were shaken/agitated to provoke test system movement.
Pea aphids were held on the treated surfaces for 1 hour and then they were transferred into the clean Post-treatment arenas for the remaining observations. The other test systems were held on the treated surfaces for 4 hours and then they were transferred into the clean Post-treatment arenas for the remaining observations.

OCP (⅛ gal/acre) was effective at killing armyworms for up to 14-days after treatment (14DAT). By the 21DAT aged evaluation, efficacy dropped with the ⅛ gal/acre treatment yielding 55% mortality by the 4DAT observation. A statistical analysis of the 21DAT aged evaluation data (4DAT observation) showed that all four iterations of OCP yielded mortality levels that were significantly better than those of the untreated control population. OCP (8 oz/gal), OCP (½ gal/acre), and OCP (¼ gal/acre) treatments yielded mortality levels that were significantly higher than those of the OCP (⅛ gal/acre) population.

Average environmental conditions recorded during the study:
The results of this study are shown in Tables 19 and 20. Table 19 illustrates the percent mortality of the banded crickets after the test substance applications. Table 20 contains the results of a Tukey-Kramer analysis (probability value p≤0.05) that was performed on the 3DAT mortality figures for the test substances.
By the 3DAT observation, the OCP formula recorded 95% mortality against banded crickets. Castor oil, geraniol, and rosemary oil recorded 8%, 10%, and 10% mortality, respectively. The control population reached 8% mortality by the 3DAT observation. Data from the 4DAT observation was not considered due to excessive control population mortality.
To determine if any statistically significant differences existed, a Tukey-Kramer analysis (probability value of p<0.05) was conducted on the mortality figures from the 3DAT observation period.
The results of this analysis showed that the OCP formula provided statistically significant levels of mortality as compared to the levels of mortality observed in the castor oil, geraniol, rosemary oil, or untreated control populations. The results also showed that there was no significant difference in the levels of mortality observed between the untreated control population and the castor oil, geraniol, or rosemary populations.
The results of the study indicate that the OCP formula is highly effective at killing banded crickets when applied as a residual insecticide at a rate of 0.75 gallons per acre for up to 7 days after treatment. The individual active ingredients (castor oil, geraniol, and rosemary oil) did not provide high levels of mortality, failing to separate themselves from the untreated control.

The test systems were tested under ambient laboratory conditions.
The environmental conditions were recorded during the study:
The results of this study are shown in Table 21, which illustrates the percent mortality of the banded crickets after the test substance applications.
By the 2DAT observation, the OCP formula recorded 98% mortality against banded crickets. Castor oil, geraniol, and rosemary oil recorded 30%, 33%, and 23% mortality, respectively. The control population reached 10% mortality by the 2DAT observation. Data from the 3DAT observation was not considered due to excessive control population mortality.

The individual active ingredients (castor oil, geraniol, and rosemary oil) did not provide high levels of mortality, failing to separate themselves from the untreated control.
The potential synergy between different essential oils was tested at Prime Analytical Laboratories (Concord, CA). Seven oils were selected from the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) list of active ingredients exempt from the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) under the Minimum Risk Exemption regulations in 40 C.F.R. § 152.25 (f). These oils were cinnamon oil, clove oil, garlic oil, geraniol, peppermint oil, rosemary oil, and thyme oil. The oils were tested in a common base solution consisting of soap nut extract, castor oil, glyceryl monostearate, potassium sorbate, and water. Each oil was tested at two concentrations (a high and a low) and each potential pairing. To determine synergy, the oil mixtures were exposed to the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the fungus Candida albicans, and the log reduction was determined.
The strains used for the study were Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 and Candida albicans ATCC 10231. P. aeruginosa was grown on TSA-80 media (tryptic soy agar with polysorbate 80 and lecithin), and C. albicans was grown on SDA media (Saboreaud dextrose agar media). TSA-80 plates were incubated at 30° C.-35° C., and SDA plates were incubated at 20° C.-25° C.
The base solution consisted of the following on a v/v basis: soap nut extract Sapindus mukorossi (1.3%), castor oil (13.2%), glyceryl monostearate (28.9%), potassium sorbate (3.9%), and water (52.6%). Each essential oil was tested at a high concentration (12% v/v) and a low concentration (0.5% v/v) and each possible pairing. Test mixtures were made according to Tables 24 and 25.
Once all test mixtures were made, 5 mL of each test mixture was added to two separate 15 mL sterile test tubes. A positive control of 5 mL of D/E Neutralizing Broth was also prepared. Each tube, including the positive control, was then inoculated with 100 μL of the test organism, either ≥106 CFU/0.1 mL of P. aeruginosa or ≥105 CFU/0.1 mL of C. albicans. After a contact time of 6 hours, samples were neutralized by transferring 1 mL of solution to 9 mL of fresh D/E Broth and waiting 10 minutes. The neutralized solution was then serial diluted and 100 μL spread on the appropriate plate media with two plates were dilution. CFU counts were taken after 5-7 days for SDA plates and 3-5 days for TSA-80 plates.
The log reduction for each test mixture was calculated by taking the log base 10 of the ratio of CFU/mL positive control over CFU/mL experimental:
To determine if there was a synergistic advantage of an essential oil pairing, the log reduction of the paired solutions was divided by the log reduction of each pure essential oil. If the result is >1.0, the pairing was considered to have a synergistic advantage. If the result was ≤1.0, there was no synergistic advantage. In a pairing, both oils had to show a synergistic advantage to be considered synergistic.
For example, analyzing the rosemary and peppermint pair with P. aeruginosa, on pure rosemary, the maximum log reduction was 7.9, on pure peppermint the log reduction was 6.6, and the maximum log reduction on the four pairings was 7.7. The synergistic advantage of rosemary is 98.4% and for peppermint is 117.7%. This pairing would not be considered synergistic since both oils did not show a synergistic advantage. By comparison, peppermint and cinnamon with P. aeruginosa did show a synergistic advantage. On pure peppermint, the log reduction was 6.6, on pure cinnamon was 6.0, and on the pairings was 7.3. The synergistic advantage is then 111.5% and 121.2% with respect to peppermint and cinnamon. Since both oils displayed a synergistic advantage, this pairing was synergistic.
Essential oil pairings that displayed synergist advantages in P. aeruginosa are shown in Table 26 and those for C. albicans are shown in Table 27.
