A comparative study was made between the acaricidal activities of some essential oils: rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), lavandula (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.), thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) and ziziphora (Ziziphora clinopodioides Lam.) on the important mite pest, Tetranychus cinnabarinus Boisduval, the carmine spider mite, oncut roses during 2010-2012. The sublethal concentrations of ziziph...

The use of synthetic larvicides to control vector populations is detrimental to human and environmental health and selects for insecticide resistance. Plants can be alternative sources of effective and safe mosquito control agents. In the present work the chemical composition and larvicidal activity, of essential oil of Lavandula stoechas (lamiaceae), growing in wilds of Morocco, against the ma...

This work has demonstrated the ixodicidal and insect antifeedant effects of essential oils from 14 experimentally cultivated aromatic plants. The strong corresponded to Thymus zygis, vulgaris, Satureja montana, Oreganum virens , Mentha suaveolens . moderately active were Lavandula angustifolia, piperita, spicata, Artemisa herba-alba Rosmarinus officinalis most effective larvicidal compounds pip...

Traditionally, melissopalynological and physicochemical analyses have been the most used to determine the botanical origin of honey. However, when performed individually, these analyses may provide less unambiguous results, making it difficult to discriminate between mono and multifloral honeys. In this context, with the aim of better characterizing this beehive product, a selection of 112 Lava...

the aim of the present study was to evaluate hypnotic effect of coriandrum sativum, ziziphus jujuba , lavandula angustifolia and melissa officinalis hydroalcoholic extracts in mice to select the most effective ones for a combination formula. three doses of the extracts (250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg of c. sativum and z. jujuba and 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg of l. angustifolia and m. officinalis ) were or...

Fusarium avenaceum, Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium expansum, and Neofabraea vagabunda, represent postharvest diseases which cause significant apple losses. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the effects organic essential oils (EOs) (Thymus vulgaris, Lavandula angustifolia, Rosmarinus officinalis) against pathogens both in vitro vivo, as an integrated management tool. By GC–MS analys...
