Abstract The ecotoxicological consequences of synthetic pesticides have encouraged stakeholders to search for eco-friendly pest control tools, like essential oils (EOs). Nano-delivery systems (nanoparticles and nano-emulsions) seem ideal developing EO-based biopesticides, although production processes should be standardized implemented. In this study, nano-emulsions loaded with a high amount Allium sativum L. EO (15%) were developed using different mixed bottom-up/top-down processes. Garlic was chemically analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) formulations physically characterized Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) apparatus. insecticidal activity against Planococcus citri Risso (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) selectivity toward Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae) worker bees evaluated. mainly composed sulphur components (96.3%), diallyl disulphide trisulphide as the most abundant compounds (37.26% 28.15%, respectively). Top-down could produce stable droplet size in nanometric range (< 200nm) good polydispersity index (PDI < 0.2). contrast, bottom-up emulsion unstable, its around 500nm after 24 hours. High-energy emulsification significantly increased residual toxicity garlic 3rd instar P. nymphs, whereas harmless A. workers topical application. This study confirmed that process affected physical properties efficacy target pests. lack adverse impact on honeybees denotated potential these bioinsecticides organic and/or IPM programs, further extended studies are necessary.

The cotton mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is a polyphagous invasive species native to America and considered one of the major pests in Asia. It currently threatening horticultural ornamental protected crops Mediterranean countries. Due ecological environmental concerns, conventional chemical control P. new areas introduction being replaced by exploring potential indigenous natural enemies as sustainable biological tool. After Sicily (Italy), field surveys were conducted on attacking select promising biocontrol agents for applications. For first time, Aenasius arizonensis (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) was reported Europe, Anagyrus matritensis recorded association with solenopsis. two parasitoid identified morphological features molecularly using portion mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) gene. Because missing information, additional provided identification A. matritensis. In addition, generalist predators Cryptolaemus montrouzieri, Hippodamia variegata Parexochomus nigripennis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) also mealybug.
