Sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is one of the leading export greenhouse crops in South Korea. Sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Gennadius is one of the major pests on greenhouse pepper. This pest is conventionally managed by synthetic insecticide application, however this management tactic causes the overuse of toxic compounds and the resistance of whiteflies to insecticides. Therefore, the development of environment-friendly natural insecticides is vitally important. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of three newly-screened insecticidal compounds for B. tabaci (Biotype Q) in laboratory. The insecticidal effects of the compounds were assessed with adult B. tabaci using leaf disc arena established in petri dish. Among the three compounds tested, JS408, a plant extract from Perilla sp., showed significant insecticidal effects on B. tabaci in one hour causing 90% mortality. However, JA408 caused phytotoxicity on sweet pepper leaf resulting in browning dead spots. The new plant-extract JA408 has promising potential as natural insecticidal compound for B. tabaci, but further study must resolve the phytotoxicity issue. Moreover, insecticidal effect should be evaluated under field conditions.
