Given the importance of the genus Artemisia as a source of valuable natural products,
the rare plant Artemisia pedemontana subspecies assoana, endemic to the Iberian Peninsula, has been
experimentally cultivated in the greenhouse and aeroponically, to produce biomass for essential
oil (EO) extraction. The chemical composition of the EOs was analyzed, and their plant protection
(insects: Spodoptera littoralis, Rhopalosiphum padi, and Myzus persicae; plants: Lactuca sativa and Lolium
perenne; fungi: Aspergillus niger; and nematode: Meloidogyne javanica) and antiparasitic (Trypanosoma
cruzi, Phytomonas davidi, and antiplasmodial by the ferriprotoporphyrin biocrystallization inhibition
test) properties were studied, in addition to the hydrolate by-product. The EOs showed a 1,8-cineole
and camphor profile, with quantitative and qualitative chemical differences between the cultivation
methods. These oils had moderate insect antifeedant, antifungal, and phytotoxic effects; were
trypanocidel; and exhibited moderate phytomonacidal effects, while the hydrolate showed a strong
nematicidal activity. Both EOswere similarly antifeedant; the EOfromthe greenhouse plants (flowering
stage) was more biocidal (antifungal, nematicidal, and phytotoxic) than the EO from the aeroponic
plants (growing stage), which was more antiparasitic. The major components of the oils (1,8-cineole
and camphor), or their 1:1 combination, did not explain any of these effects. We can conclude that
these EOs have potential applications as insect antifeedants, and as antifungal or antiparasitic agents,
depending on the cultivation method, and that the hydrolate byproduct is a potent nematicidal
