Notes: In view of the promising insecticidal activity of garlic EO, this study was aimed at developing various garlic EO-based emulsions comparing single or mixed bottom-up/top-down approaches, and maintaining the same high EO/surfactant ratio (3:1). The EO and the formulations were chemically and physically characterized using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) apparatus, respectively. The suitability of the diferent methods to produce stable nanoemulsion formulations was assessed in terms of their efficacy against 3rd instars of P. citri and selectivity toward adults of A. mellifera bees. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10340-024-01800-2
