Essential oils extracted from plants are of growing interest as natural alternatives for the control of cereal pests. In this study, the essential oils of Artemisia arborescens and Rosmarinus tournefotii were characterised and their insecticidal activity was assessed against adults of Tribolium castaneum and Rhyzopertha dominica. The chemical composition of the essential oils was analysed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, and the insecticide tests were carried out by contact. The results revealed the presence of several active compounds in the essential oils, which demonstrated potentially effective insecticidal activity, with mortality rates of 100.0% in T. castaneum and R. dominica using the essential oil of A. arborescens, and 93.33±11.54 % and 100% using the essential oil of R. tournefotii after 72 hours of testing. These results suggest that essential oils could be used as control tools against the species studied in storage silos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
