Syzygium cumini, known as purple olive, or jamul, dates back to its healing powers since the beginnings of many societies, today confirmed through its antioxidant, anti-diabetic, anti-fungal properties and reports against different arthropods. The essential oil, extracted from the fresh leaves, through hydrodistillation technique with the aid of a Clevenger type apparatus, had a yield of 0.12%m/m and its chemical characterization, through Gas Chromatography coupled to a Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS), provided as major constituents (Z)-[beta]-ocimene (30.456%), [alfa]-pinene (15.537%) and (E)-[beta]-ocimene (15.177%). The contact bioassays performed, with the objective of identifying the effects of the oil on the spider mite, demonstrated a considerable toxicity of the oil. The residual contact bioassay, which the mites are placed on already treated leaves, presented the LC50 = 7.54uL/mL. While in the spray bioassay, where the mites are sprayed when they are on the leaves, presented a LC50 = 8.69uL/mL. In addition, the oil was also showed an ovicidal property with an estimated LC50 of 0.22uL/mL. this essential oilvshowed similar and promising effects compared to acaricides already marketed, while bioassaysvdemonstrated how different tests act on pest instinct mechanisms.
