Overview

This analysis demonstrates the toxicity effects of essential oil on houseflies, suggesting its use as a pest control agent.

Key Points

  • Essential oil concentrations of 125, 250, and 500 µl/ml achieved 100% knockdown and mortality in houseflies.
  • The median lethal concentration (LC50) for Eryngium foetidum oil was determined to be 318.758 min.
  • Using hydrodistillation, essential oil was extracted from Eryngium foetidum for evaluation against adult houseflies.
  • The findings imply that Eryngium foetidum holds potential as an effective control agent against houseflies.
