fumigant toxicity of essential oils from foeniculum vulgare (apiaceae), teucrium polium (lamiaceae) and satureja hortensis (lamiaceae) were evaluated against the adults of cowpea seed beetle, callosobruchus maculatus exposed for 24h. essential oils were obtained through steam-distillation using a clevenger-type apparatus. bioassays were conducted at 28±2 °c and 60±5% r.h. in dark conditions. si...

Twelve essential oils from Mediterranean aromatic plants were tested for their phytotoxic activity, at different doses, against the germination and the initial radicle growth of seeds of Raphanus sativus, Lactuca sativa and Lepidium sativum. The essential oils were obtained from Hyssopus officinalis, Lavandula angustifolia, Majorana hortensis, Melissa officinalis, Ocimum basilicum, Origanum vul...

fumigant toxicity of various doses of essential oils (185.2, 370.4, 555.5, 740.7, 925.4, 1111.1, and 1296.3 µl/l water) from five officinal plants, including rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis), lavender (lavandula vera), fennel (foeniculum vulgare), tarragon (artemisia dracunculus)and summer savory (satureja hortensis)on two stored products pests, cowpea weevil (callosobruchus maculatus) and red...

BACKGROUND Plant extracts and oils may act as alternatives to conventional pesticides for malaria vector control. The aim of this study was to evaluate the larvicidal activity of essential oils of three plants of Apiaceae family against Anopheles stephensi, the main malaria vector in Iran. METHODS Essential oils from Heracleum persicum, Foeniculum vulgare and Coriandrum sativum seeds were hyd...

Abstract Many aromatic herbs in the family Apiaceae produce essential oils that are used on an industrial scale for medicinal, cosmetic, and food purposes. Essential from plants show insecticidal activity can be substituted synthetic insecticides to reduce environmental pollution or harmful toxicity humans. Insecticidal of oil seeds coriander, Foeniculum vulgare Miller (Apiales: Apiaceae), maiz...

background: plant extracts and oils may act as alternatives to conventional pesticides for malaria vector control. the aim of this study was to evaluate the larvicidal activity of essential oils of three plants of apiaceae family against anophe­les stephensi , the main malaria vector in iran. methods: essential oils from heracleum persicum , foeniculum vulgare and coriandrum sativum seeds were ...

Essential oils of the fruits of three organically grown cultivars of Egyptian fennel (Foeniculum vulgare var. azoricum, Foeniculum vulgare var. dulce and Foeniculum vulgare var. vulgare) were examined for their chemical constituents, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis of the essential oils revealed the presence of 18 major monoterpenoids in a...

Background: The Apiaceae family is defined with the diversity of essential oil. Some of composition could be used to control of storage pests. Objective: This study was conducted to estimate and identification of the seed essential oil composition of four Apiaceae species. Methods: The essential oil composition of the seeds of the four Apiaceae’s species including (Pimpinella anisum L., Foe...

essential oils are volatile mixtures of hydrocarbons with diverse functional groups. in the current study the effect of essential oils from five medicinal plants including zataria multiflora and nepeta cataria (lamiaceae), tagetes minuta and artemisia sieberi (asteraceae), and trachyspermum ammi (apiaceae) were analyzed using gc-mass spectrometry. the toxicity of these plant essential oils agai...
