Loh, Fan Siew published the artcileInsecticidal properties of Citrus hystrix DC leaves essential oil against Spodoptera litura fabricius, Application of 2-(2-Hydroxypropan-2-yl)-5-methylcyclohexanol, the main research area is Citrus essential oil insecticide Spodoptera.
Chem. anal. by gas chromatog. (GC) and gas chromatog.-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) revealed presence of 29 compounds in the essential oil fraction of kaffir lime, Citrus hystrix fresh leaves. Beta-citronellal was the major compound present with 66.85% of total oil followed by beta-citronellol (6.59%), linalool (3.90%) and citronellol (1.76%). Insecticidal properties of C. hystrix leaves essential oil was investigated against tobacco army worm, Spodoptera litura using topical application bioassay on uniform weighted second instar larvae in the laboratory Essential oil was effective in killing the larvae and showed that the LD50 is 26.748 μL/g. Insect development and growth index observations showed that the essential oil had antifeedant properties resulting in severe growth inhibition of S. litura.
Journal of Medicinal Plants Research published new progress about Bioinsecticides. 42822-86-6 belongs to class alcohols-buliding-blocks, name is 2-(2-Hydroxypropan-2-yl)-5-methylcyclohexanol, and the molecular formula is C10H20O2, Application of 2-(2-Hydroxypropan-2-yl)-5-methylcyclohexanol.
