본 연구에서는, 5가지 식물의 메탄올 추출물을 이용하여 모기기피 효과 실험을 진행하고 누드 쥐를 모델로 하여 흰줄숲모기에 대한 모기기 피제의 유효용량 및 유효시간을 평가하였다. 그리고 식물의 휘발성분을 GC-MS로 분석하였다. 유효용량은 개박하가 10, 50, 100, 200 μg/mL 에서 72.9, 83.7, 86.4, 97.3%의 효율로 가장 높았다. 누드 쥐를 대상으로 한 유효시간 연구에서는 5가지 식물의 메탄올 추출물 중 개박하, 개다 래 및 개똥쑥이 90.5%로, 30분까지만 지속하였다. 각 식물의 휘발성분을 분석한 결과, 애플민트 28개 성분, 개다래 19개 성분, 개똥쑥 27개 성분, 개박하 26개 성분, 민들레 19개 성분이 확인 되었다. 특히 모기기피제의 유효 성분으로 알려진 네페탈락톤(nepetalactone)이 개박하의 휘발성분 중 한 성분으로 확인 되었다(27.95 mg/Kg). 본 연구결과는 다양한 휘발성분을 함유한 식물을 이용한 모기기피제 재료로서 가능성을 제시한다.

초음파 모기 기피 장치 ‘모스 윈드솔루션(Mos windsolution)’의 성능을 실내에서 평가하였다. 해당 제품은 120Hz~1.2MHz 사이의 주파수를 가진 초음파를 발생시켜 모기가 기피하도록 유도하는 기능을 갖고 있다. 기기의 성능 평가를 위하여 선택적 실험과 비선택적 실험을 실시하였다. 선택적 실험은 2m의 PVC 파이프 양 끝에 15cm cube 형태의 실험 케이지를 연결하고, 그 옆면에 쥐를 한 마리씩 구속하였다. 처리구 쪽에 모스 윈드솔루션을 가동시켜 초음파가 발생하도록 놓은 후 파이프 중앙에 흰줄숲모기(Aedes albopictus)를 방사시켰고 1시간 뒤 양 케이지를 밀봉, 냉동시켜 유입된 흰줄숲모기의 성별과 수를 파악했다. 비선택적 실험은 150x200x150cm의 모기장 안에 상부만 열린 아크릴 케이지를 넣고, 아크릴 케이지 내부에 철망 뚜껑이 있는 용기에 담긴 쥐를 넣어두었다. 처리구 쪽에는 모스 윈드솔루션을 가동시켜 놓았다. 모기장에 흰줄숲모기를 방사시키고, 시간당 아크릴 케이지에 유입된 모기의 수를 파악하였다. 그 결과 두 실험 모두에서 모스 윈드솔루션이 대조구 대비 최대 80%의 모기 기피 효과를 보였음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Miticidal and repellent activity of twenty plant essential oils against the adults of two spotted spider mites, Tetranychus urticae, were examined. Sandalwood oil was the most potent one in mortality, whereas clary sage oil exhibited the greatest repellent activity. On those twenty essential oils tested, no apparent correlation between toxicity and repellency was observed. The chemical compositions of sandalwood and clary sage oils were identified via GC/MS analyses. The major constituents of sandalwood oils were sesquiterpene compounds, whereas the major ones for clary sage oil were monoterpenes. Among the major components in clary sage oil, linalyl acetate was not only the most abundant constituent, but also the most responsible one for its repellent activity against the adults of the two spotted spider mites. Nevertheless, the combination of seven major constituents of clary sage oil showed lesser repellent activity than the original essential oil did, implying the presence of interactions between the major and minor constituents affecting the overall repellent activity of the crude oil.

본 연구에서는, 20종의 식물정유를 이용하여 점박이응애 성충에 대한 살비활성 및 기피활성을 확인하였다. 살비활성 평가에서는 샌달우드 오일이, 기피활성 평가에서는 클라리 세이지 오일이 가장 높은 효과를 나타내었고, 평가에 사용한 20종의 식물정유간에는 살비활성과 기피활성간 의 상관관계가 매우 낮게 나타났다. 높은 활성을 나타낸 정유들의 혼합시험에서는, 거의 대부분의 조합이 서로간에 저해효과를 갖는 것으로 확인되었다. 샌달우드 및 클라리 세이지 오일의 구성성분은 GC/MS 분석을 통해 확인하였으며, 샌달우드는 세스퀴터펜류가, 클라리 세이지 오일은 모노 터펜류가 주종을 이루었다. 클라리세이지 오일의 구성성분 중에서는 linalyl acetate가 가장 높은 함량을 갖고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 해당정유가 기피효과를 갖는 주된 효능물질임을 확인하였다.

We evaluated the repellent activity of 12 Apiaceae plant essential oils and their components against male and female adult German cockroaches, Blattella germanica, to find new natural repellents. Of the plant essential oils tested, ajowan (Trachyspermum ammi) and dill (Anethum graveolens) essential oils showed the most potent repellent activity against male and female adult German cockroaches. Of the compounds identified, carvacrol, thymol, and R-(-)-carvone showed >80% repellent activity against male and female adult German cockroaches at 0.2 mg/L air concentration. S-(+)-Carvone, (+)-dihydrocarvone, and terpinen-4-ol showed >70% repellent activity against male and female adult German cockroaches at 0.8 mg/L air concentration. Our results indicated that Apiaceae plant essential oils and their constituent have good potential as natural repellents against adult German cockroaches.

Insecticidal and repellent activity of sandalwood oil (Santalum austrocaledonium) and its components was tested against cotton aphid , Aphis gossypii in laboratory and field. The activity was estimated by calculating survival rate of aphid after application of sandalwood oil and its components. Analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry led to identification of 5 compounds, alpha-santatol, bergamotol, epi-beta-santalol, and beta-satalol. The components of sandalwood oil was isolated by column chromatography for testing insecticidal and repellent activity. Santalol showed strong insecticidal and repellent activity as a commercial insecticide, imidachloprid. Sandalwood oil and isolated alpha-santatol and beta-santatol also showed strong insecticidal and repellent activity, however there was no significant difference among them.

Using thirty-one essential oils with different manufactured T-tube olfactometers, attraction and repellent efficacy were proved against ggot-mae-mi, Lycorma delicatula. Among tested essential oils, spearmint was selected to have attraction efficacy (94.1%; P<0.001). Spearmint was also showed attraction efficacy in 10 and 2.5 ul, but did not showed in 1 ul. GC analyzed chemical constituents of spearmint were tested with different concentations (10, 5, 2.5, 1 ul). Carvone were showed activity in 10 and 5 ul, but limonene did not showed the activity. When mixing two compounds were showed activity in 10, 5, 2.5 ul as 78.8, 73.5, and 69.7%, respectively. Lavender was selected to have repellent efficacy (86.7%; P<0.001). Lavender was also showed repellency in 10 and 2.5 ul, but did not showed in 1ul. GC analyzed chemical constituents of lavender were tested with different concentrations, results have the activity linalool and terpinen-4-ol in 10 and 5 ul, but linalyl acetate and caryophyllene oxide did not have the activity. Spearmint and lavender showing attraction and repellency, respectively, were keep in lure during 24 hr for penetration with different concentration(30, 20, 10 ul), and attached to the center of Fly catcher, fly sticky trap. The trap was set in the field that founded frequently the L. delicatula. The number of L. delicatula caught in the traps were counted after 5, 10, and 15 days. In attraction efficacy of 20 ul concentration wㄷre high attracted the insect(P<0.001). 30 ul concentration were also have the high attraction (P<0.01). We are now tested the control efficacy in grapevine orchard using these materials.

Thirteen plant essential oils were tested for their repellent activity against the bean bug Riptortus clavatus. Among the tested oils, caraway (100%) and clove bud oil (92%) significantly repelled the bean bugs at a dose of 0.142㎕/cm2 by using a Y-tube olfactometer. GC and GC-MS analyses revealed that the active components responsible for the effective repellency of caraway and clove bud oil were carvone (75%) and limonene (76.9%); eugenol (100%), isoeugenol (54.3%) and β-caryophyllene (60.0%), respectively. Of the different active fractions, eugenol was the most significant one than the other components with reference to repellent activity against the bean bugs. In the GC-EAD, limonene and carvone of caraway oil were responded to the antenna of Riptortus clavatus.

Ricania sp. is a pest to many crops in Korea. This pest prefers fruit crops especially, blueberry and apple trees. We tested the possibility of Ricania sp. control using of methylcinnamate. In the laboratory bioassay, the mortality of methylcinnamate against Ricania sp. adult with 100 and 250 time diluted solution was 36.6% and 13.3% respectively. While repellent that the use of methylcinnamate resulted rate of 43.3% with 100 time diluted solution and 40.0% in 250 time diluted solution. Insecticidal and repellent effect in semifield bioassay were higher than those in laboratory bioassay. From this result, methylcinnamate might have synergic effect for Ricania sp. management. The result of this study showed a possibility of Ricania. sp. control using methylcinnamate.
