Overview

Laboratory evaluation of essential oils shows high repellency and toxicity against Rhyzopertha dominica, indicating promising biopesticide potential.

Key Points

  • Tridax procumbens essential oil demonstrated the highest repellency of 92.8% against Rhyzopertha dominica after treatment.
  • Lethal concentration values for larvae and adults of R. dominica were 9.716 μL and 13.062 μL, respectively, post-exposure.
  • The study highlights the potential of using biopesticides derived from essential oils in pest management.
  • All four tested essential oils exhibited repellent properties and fumigant toxicity towards R. dominica.
