  abstract = {{BACKGROUNDI}n tropical countries, netting is an effective sustainable tool for protecting horticultural crops against {L}epidoptera, although not against small pests such as {B}emisia tabaci, while smaller mesh netting can be used in temperate regions. {A} solution is to combine a net with a repellent. {P}reviously we identified repellent essential oils: lemongrass ({C}ymbopogon citratus), cinnamon ({C}innamomum zeylanicum), cumin ({C}uminum cyminum) and citronella ({C}ymbopogon winternarius). {T}he present study was designed to identify the active compounds of these essential oils, characterise their biological activity and examine their potential for coating nets. {W}e investigated the efficiency and toxicity of nets dipped in different solutions. {W}e then studied the repellent effect with an olfactometer and the irritant effect by videotracking. {RESULTSG}eraniol and citronellol were the most promising net coatings owing to their repellent effect. {T}he repellency, irritancy or toxicity varied with the product and concentration, and these features were independent, indicating that the repellent and the irritant/toxic mechanisms were not the same. {T}he combined effects of these different compounds account for the bioactivity of the mixture, suggesting interactions between the compounds. {CONCLUSIONT}his new sustainable strategy for protecting vegetable crops against whiteflies is discussed, in addition to the use of companion plants that could produce such bioactive compounds.},
