Abstract

Essential oils from five Morrocan plants belonging to different botanical families (Asteraceae, Myrtaceae and Cupressaseae), were prepared by hydrodistillation. These essential oils, which have a long tradition in adjuvant therapy, were tested for insecticidal activity by the method of microcomputer-atmosphere against three major pests of stored products: Rhyzopertha dominica (F), Sitophilus oryzae (L) and Tribolium castaneum (herbst). Results showed that the essential oil of Eucalyptus camaldulensis possessed significant insecticidal properties against the pests studied.
