Abstract

Larvicidal activity of 34 plant essential oils were tested against the 4th instar larvae of Culex pipiens pallens. Among them, six oils (basil, fennel, caraway seed, lime, thyme red, and thyme white) showed more than 80% mortality at 100 mg $litre^{-1}$ concentration. GC and GC-MS analyses of the six essential oils and bioassay of their components revealed that anethole (a major component of fennel and basil oil) and (+)-limonene (a major component of caraway seed and lime oil) showed higher larvicidal activities than others. In addition to the above two components, ${\alpha}$-phellandrene, p-cymene, $\gamma$-terpinene, ${\beta}$-pinene, and thymol showed higher larvicidal activity than Bt product.

빨간집모기(Culex pipiens pallens) 유충에 대한 34종 식물오일의 살충력을 조사하였다. 80% 이상의 살충효과를 나타낸 오일은 6종(basil, fennel, caraway seed, lime, thyme red, thyme white)이었다. 각 오일의 구성성분을 GC와 GC-MS로 분석하고 각 성분의 살충력을 검정한 결과, basil 및 fennel 오일의 주요성분인 anethole과 caraway seed 오일 및 lime 오일의 주요성분인 (+)-limonene 이 높은 살충력을 나타내었다. 또한 ${\alpha}$-phellandrene, p-cymene, $\gamma$-terpinene, ${\beta}$-pinene, thymol 도 대조약제인 Bt제 보다 높은 살충효과를 나타내었다.
