Abstract
The insecticidal activities of the essential oils of Artemisia vulgaris, Achillea millefolium, Anethum graveolens, Cimicifuga heracleifolia, Citrus paradisi, Chrysanthemum indicum, Eucalyptus dives, Neroli bigard, Nigella sativa, and Ruta graveolens against stored-grain insects, Plodia interpunctella and Tribolium castaneum larvae and adults were evaluated using fumigant and contact bioassays. Based on the $LD_{50}$ values in fumigant bioassay, A. millefolium ($0.12{\mu}g/cm^3$) and A. graveolens ($93.14{\mu}g\;cm^{-3}$) oil were most effective against P. interpunctella and T. castaneum adults. In addition, N. bigard ($139.11{\mu}g\;cm^{-3}$) and A. graveolens ($52.87{\mu}g\;cm^{-3}$) oil exhibit strong insecticidal activities against P. interpunctella and Tribolium castaneum larvae in contact bioassay. These results indicate that A. millefolium, A. graveolens, N. bigard, and A. graveolens oils could be effective natural acaricides for managing stored-grain insects, P. interpunctella and T. castaneum.
