| Abstract: | The bioactivity of 22 essential oils from aromatic and medicinal plants was tested upon Acanthoscelides obtectus Say (Coleoptera, Bruchidae), a pest of kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The insecticidal effect was evaluated by determination of 24- and 48-hr LC sub(50) and LC sub(50) (from 1.50 mg/dm super(3) to more than 1000 mg/dm super(3)). Isoprenoids and phenylpropanoids were identified by gas chromatography. The most efficient essential oils were extracted from plants belonging to Labiatae. Origanum marjorana) and Thymus serpyllum essential oils were the most toxic |
