The use of aromatic essential oils from Labiatae, Umbelliferae and Lauraceae was investigated. In addition to a fumigant toxic effect on adult insects, inhibition of reproduction through ovicidal and larvicidal effects was also observed. These actions might be combined to improve the management of this bruchid: essential oils of Rosmarinus officinalis, Thymus vulgaris, T. serpyllum, Ocimum basilicum and Cinnamomum verum were very effective and completely controlled the biological development of this insect.1 aRegnaultroger, C1 aHamraoui, A  uhttps://thymus.myspecies.info/ref/inhibition-reproduction-acanthoscelides-obtectus-say-coleoptera-kidney-bean-phaseolus-vulgaris
