Abstract

Planting essential oils, or "plant-EOs," are increasingly interested in the global movement toward sustainable agriculture management and production. The current investigation aimed to assess the impact of peppermint, cinnamon, and lemon essential oils on the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) settling and probing behaviour in The Cucurbita pepo cv. Eskandarani plants. The infected squash plant samples were employed as the viral-plant sources of inoculum and multiplied for normal stock cultures in a greenhouse with 26±1°C, relative humidity of 70–90%, and a photoperiod of 8–16 hours (light/dark). The current study reports on the anti-viral biological activity to increase the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) mortality rate and decrease the ability of the Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus (ZYMV) to spread among squash plants by using three different plant-EOs. Plant essential oils concentrations ranging from 0.002 to 0.1 percentage across all investigated essential oils demonstrated exceptional efficiency. Research on essential oils (EOs) has shown that they exhibit promising insecticidal action against various problem insects.
