This study was conducted to evaluate the insecticidal effects of the Anethum graveolens and the Artemisia vulgaris oils against Sitophilus zeamais and Sitotroga cerealella, respectively, in granary. Insecticidal effects of the A. graveolens oil showed 100 % mortality against S. zeamais for 5 days. In the case of S. cerealella, the A. vulgaris oil showed 100 % mortality for 2 h. These results indicate that the A. graveolens and A. vulgaris oils have potential for development as insecticidal to control S. zeamais and S. cerealella, respectively.
