摘要

Numerous investigations have studied the effect of essential oils (EOs) and their individual components (ICs) as biocontrol agents against Plodia interpunctella (Hübner). EOs offer significant advantages over chemical insecticides, which can harm the environment, consumer health, and non-target organisms. This review is the first to systematically report the effects of EOs and their ICs against P. interpunctella. Research was conducted using databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, Springer, Science Direct, and PubMed, identifying 2003 articles, of which 51 met the inclusion criteria. Notably, only one study was conducted in a large-scale production system; the remainder were performed in laboratory conditions. The literature review showed that the EOs of 61 species and ICs have been tested against P. interpunctella. Some of these EOs and ICs demonstrated toxic effects via contact and fumigation. Most of the plants tested belong to the families: Lamiaceae, Asteraceae, Apiaceae, Lauraceae, and Myrtaceae. Due to their strong efficacy, EOs can also be utilized to extend the shelf life of various food products by incorporating them into active packaging materials. These findings underscore the potential for developing new plant-based biopesticides for controlling P. interpunctella.
