| description | <i>Sitophilus zeamais</i> is a primary pest of maize. Our aim was to perform a qualitative review and meta-analyses with 56 scientific articles published from 1 January 2000 to 1 October 2022 dealing with direct (topical application) and indirect (impregnation of essential oils, EOs, onto filter paper or maize grains) contact toxicity of EOs against <i>S. zeamais</i>. Three independent meta-analyses of single means of LD<sub>50</sub> (direct contact) and LC<sub>50</sub> (indirect contact) were conducted using a random effect model. Essential oils more frequently evaluated were those belonging to Asteraceae, Apiaceae, Lamiaceae, Myrtaceae, Piperaceae, and Rutaceae. The LC<sub>50</sub> global mean values were 33.19 µg/insect (CI<sub>95</sub> 29.81–36.95) for topical application; 0.40 µL/cm<sup>2</sup> (CI<sub>95</sub> 0.25–0.65) for filter paper indirect contact; and 0.50 µL/g maize (CI<sub>95</sub> 0.27–0.90) for maize grains indirect contact. The species <i>Carum carvi</i>, <i>Salvia umbratica</i>, <i>Ilicium difengpi</i>, <i>Periploca sepium</i>, <i>Cephalotaxus sinensis</i>, <i>Murraya exotica</i>, <i>Rhododendron anthopogonoides</i>, <i>Ruta graveolens</i>, <i>Eucalyptus viminalis</i>, <i>Ocotea odorifera</i>, <i>Eucalyptus globulus</i>, <i>Eucalyptus dunnii</i>, <i>Anethum graveolens</i>, <i>Ilicium verum</i>, <i>Cryptocarya alba</i>, <i>Azadirachta indica</i>, <i>Chenopodium ambrosioides</i>, <i>Cupressus semperivens</i>, <i>Schinus molle</i>, <i>Piper hispidinervum</i>, <i>Mentha longifolia</i>, and <i>Croton pulegiodorus</i> showed LC<sub>50</sub> or LD<sub>50</sub> values lower than the global means, indicating good insecticidal properties. Our results showed that EOs have great potential to be used as bioinsecticides against <i>S. zeamais.</i> |
