Popis: The repellence, attractance, and mortality of essential oils from several herb species cultivated in Argentina was evaluated on the stored grain pests Sitophilus oryzae and Tribolium castaneum. At a concentration of 22 μ1 of oil/liter of air, the essential oil of false camphor, Cinamommum glandulifera, attracted Sitophilus oryzae at a dose of 60 μl of oil/liter of air and the essential of rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis, was toxic to Tribolium castaneum. No repellent activity was observed with any of the essential oils tested.
