Laboratory evaluation of essential oils' effectiveness in controlling insect pests, suggesting species-specific susceptibility.

The research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Allium sativum essential oil against different developmental stages of Diptera pests.
Comparison of insecticidal effects of four essential oils against two Diptera species.
Determination of mean lethality concentrations (LC50) and lethality doses (LD50) for adults and larvae.
Gas chromatography-electron impact mass spectrometry used for essential oil composition analysis.
Allium sativum essential oil effectively controls both larvae and adult stages of Calliphora vomitoria and Ceratitis capitata.
Calliphora vomitoria showed lower susceptibility compared to Ceratitis capitata, with susceptibility ratios up to 26.29.
Wandering larvae demonstrated significantly lower susceptibility than adults, with susceptibility ratios reaching 156.17 for Ca. vomitoria.

Farina et al. (2026) studied this question.
