| description | Termites are one of the most challenging pests that agriculture and urban environments are faced with. They bring substantial losses in annual and perennial crops and damage wood components at construction sites. The development of natural products with biological activity for termite control is an ecological alternative in the search to replace conventional products. Hence, the aim of this research was to predict the termiticidal and repellent effects of the essential oil from <i>Ocotea quixos</i> leaves on <i>Nasutitermes corniger</i> using a one-factor response surface methodology design. The variable analysed was the concentration of essential oil in ethanol at an interval of 0.3–0.05% for anti-termite activity and between 0.12 and 0.01% for repellent action. A 100% mortality rate was found at concentrations higher than 0.12% and at the minimum concentration analysed, the effect was 22.2%. As for the repellent action, the concentration of 0.12% was able to repel 100% of the termites and at 0.01% it repelled 48.9%. The analysis of the essential oil from <i>Ocotea quixos</i> leaves by GC-MS resulted in the presence of 42 compounds, 39 of them elucidated. The main compounds were (<i>E</i>)-cinnamyl acetate (36.44%), (<i>E</i>)-cinnamaldehyde (27.03%), (<i>E</i>)-β-caryophyllene (5.21%) and (<i>E</i>)-methyl isoeugenol (4.18%). |
