AB  - In this work by encapsulation technique we have synthetized three new clove bud essential oil (CEO) Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) formulations depending on the carrier (synthetic zeolite-F-CSZ, nature zeolite-F-CNZ and gelatin-F-CG). The main idea was to develop an eco-friendly biopesticide that can find use in plant protection as an alternative to the use of conventional pesticides. By encapsulation we wanted to enable water solubility and ensure prolonged efficacy of the essential oil. Biological activity of designed CEO formulations was tested on potato tuber moth Phthorimaea operculella (fumigant mode of action), gray mold fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea (preserver coatings), and soft rotting bacterial pathogens Pectobacterium carotovorum (subsp. carotovorum and brasiliensis) and Dickeya dianthicola (direct competition). CEO formulations evinced a prolonged action on mortality of P. operculella during the insects’ exposure to the concentration of the emulsions of 40 µL L−1 air. The mortality gradually decreased from a probability of 100% after the first 24 h to 50% after 5 days for F-CSZ or after 4 days for F-CNZ and F-CG. The most promising formulation is F-CSZ enabling activity during 14 days of exposure, while the effect of the other two formulations lasted 10 days. All three formulations produced a strong fungicidal effect against B. cinerea by preventing infection and disease development. The best efficacy was evidenced with F-CSZ (synthetic zeolite as a carrier) showing 100% efficacy when it was used even at the lowest tested concentration of active CEO (1%). The results of in vitro testing against soft rot pathogens determined the MIC value of CEO formulations to be 1% of active CEO. By this research, we present a novel perspective on the use of essential oils as an alternative, environmental biopesticide. CEO formulations can be commercially exploited as a fumigant or preserver coatings to extend the shelf life of stored products or the fresh-fruit market.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Niclosamide is a medication used to treat tapeworm infestation in animals and humans. It is also lampricide and molluscicide, and can be used in in agriculture as a pesticide. In the treatment of parasitic diseases in fish, niclosamide can be used as bath or mixed with the feed. Its most important use in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is for the treatment of Bothriocephalus acheilognathi, which is a very common parasite in this fish species. The aim of this study was to determine the concentrations of niclosamide (NIC) and its metabolite 2-chloro4-nitro aniline (CNA) and 5-chloro salycilic acid (CSA) in the liver and muscles of common carp fingerlings. Materials, Methods & Results: The fish for the experiment were obtained from Kapetanski Rit fish pond, and were acclimated to test conditions at 20.5 +/- 1 degrees C. Common carps with an average mass of 60 +/- 10 g were treated with niclosamide in concentration of 2 g/kg of feed during five consecutive days. The experiment was performed in two treatments: one control and niclosamide, in three replications. Each group contained of 30 fish, in 120 L polyethylene tanks. At the end of the treatment, the levels of niclosamide residues were determined using a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis during over 13 days. The mean values of niclosamide and CNA concentrations in the muscles ranged from 27.7 mu g/kg starting from the first day to  lt  0.5 mu g/kg on the 11th day and 14.2 mu g/kg from the first day to  lt  1 mu g/kg on the 9th day. The CSA metabolite in muscles were  lt  1 mu g/kg during throughout the entire study. The niclosamide concentration in the liver were found to be 51.5 (30.2-61.8) mu g/kg the first day and decreased proportionally to  lt  0.5 mu g/kg on the13th day. CNA level in the liver of treated Common Carps amounted to 170.1 (157-181) mu g/kg on the first day and continuously declined until the 13th day when recorded values were  lt  1 mu g/kg. The CSA concentrations in the liver reached a maximum level of 11.5 (10.1-12.8) mu g/kg on the 7th day and fell to  lt  1 mu g/kg on the 13th day. Discussion: Niclosamide use in fish is questionable, primarily due to the possible toxic effects on some aquatic organisms. In Serbia, niclosamide preparation for use in aquaculture, has been produced by Veterinarski zavod Subotica since 1984 when it was registred for the first time. Niclosamid degradation mechanism showed that the metabolism of niclosamide resulted in two main metabolites CNA and CSA. Withdrawal of niclosamide and its residues in the liver and muscle in the present investigation lasted from 9 to 13 days. This decrease in residues concentrations is expected and depends primarily on several factors such as the length and concentration of drug with which the fish is treated, biotransformation, excretion and decomposition of used drug. Niclosamide and CNA were proportionally decreased during the withdrawal time, while the CSA value increased to the seventh day although the fish during this period no longer consumed food with niclosamide, after which the value then decreased until the end of its elimination. This is also not unexpected because it is known that liver and gallbladder is a major organ for collection, storage and elimination of chemical residues. Although the treated fish received 2 mg of the niclosamide per g of feed for five consecutive days results obtained in this study indicate that the maximal residues concentrations were much lower than doses of niclosamide that each fish absorbed into the body. Data obtained during this study provided information about the concentration and withdrawal times of niclosamide and its residues CNA and CSA in the liver and muscles of common carp treated orally.

AB  - Dithiocarbamates are fungicides; in terms of chemical composition they are derivatives of dithiocarbamic acid and are ingredients of Mancozeb and Zineb, which are used for raspberry control against mold. The stated chemicals are to be used up to the flowering onset. The application is non-conform during fruit development. The presence of dithiocarbamates in raspberry is prohibited by the regulation. Nevertheless, the presence was recorded in some raspberry samples, which resulted from the application during fruit ripening. The stated neither improve fruit quality nor protect it from decline. Hence, specific consignments of exported frozen berries were turned down in EU countries. The paper depicts the method for the assessment of pesticide residues (dithiocarbamates) by gas chromatograph via Head Space, which was used for the evaluation of frozen raspberry taken from differing cold stores in 2000 and 2001. Although most samples contained dithiocarbamates below detection levels (0.05 mg/kg), i.e. raspberry was prepared for usage, specific samples, in particular those used in 2001 contained the rates of dithiocarbamates which significantly surpassed allowed values: From 0.07 to 0.23 mg/kg. These results prove improper application of fungicides, which contain dithiocarbamates. Therefore, it is essential to determine the cultural practices, which will improve yield and fruit quality. Training, in particular of individual producers, should concurrently be done, as to preserve health status of this precious fruit crop, the production of which ranks first in Europe.
