چکیده
Abstract The present work aimed to determine the insecticidal effects of three selected essential oils (EOs) Pogostemon cablin , Thymus vulgaris and Citrus aurantifolia against insect species Melolontha melolontha Halyomorpha halys Pyrrhocoris apterus . EO P. showed very strong M. when it inhibited by more than 50% at concentrations 50–6.25%. Against H. also 50–12.5%. activity was significantly lower other tested. least only observed a concentration 50%. T. which reached When tested for its effect high efficacy lowest as 25%. C. weak where highest killed individuals. none had higher most pronounced 25% All EOs could potentially represent natural alternative synthetic insecticides.
