Abstract:

      The composition of the essential oils of Nepeta crispa Willd. and N. menthoides Boiss. and Buhse (Lamiaceae) was investigated by means of gas chromatography (GC) and GC- mass spectrometery (MS). 1, 8-Cineole was the most abundant component in oils: Nepeta crispa (71%) and N. menthoides (41.1%). In the oil of N. crispa, b-pinene (5%) and d-terpineol (4.1%) were found to be the major constituents. Dihydromyrcen-1-ol (9.2%), 4-terpineol (7.1%), and geranyl acetate (6.1%) were the predominant compounds in the oil of N. menthoides.

Nepetalactones from essential oil of Nepeta cataria represent a stable fly feeding and oviposition repellent.

The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae), is one of the most serious pests to livestock. It feeds mainly on cattle and causes significant economic losses in the cattle industry. Standard stable fly control involving insecticides and sanitation is usually costly and often has limited effectiveness. As we continue to evaluate and develop safer fly control strategies, the prese...
