Effects of Tagetes minuta essencial oil on Lucilia cuprina third instar larvae

The activity of Tagetes minuta essential oil (TMEO) was tested against third instar larvae (L3) of the Australian blowfly Lucilia cuprina. We have determined the potential of the T. minuta EO as a new biopesticide candidate. To test this, groups of 20 L3 were placed on filter paper impregnated with...

Description
Summary:The activity of Tagetes minuta essential oil (TMEO) was tested against third instar larvae (L3) of the Australian blowfly Lucilia cuprina. We have determined the potential of the T. minuta EO as a new biopesticide candidate. To test this, groups of 20 L3 were placed on filter paper impregnated with ranging concentrations (from 0.19 to 6.36 μL/cm2) of TMEO, solubilized in acetone. Data show in this article is related to research article “Tissue damage and cytotoxic effects of Tagetes minuta essential oil against Lucilia cuprina” Chaaban et al., 2019. Thus, data of cuticle damage, color changes in L3 body and decrease in L3 motility were recorded 24 and 48 h after TMEO contact. Keywords: Cuticle damage, Natural product, Ecofriendly, Blowfly
