Özet

Vapours of essential oils extracted from cumin, Cuminum cyminum L., anise, Pimpinella anisum L., oregano, Origanum syriacum var bevanii (Holmes) Ietswaart and eucalyptus, Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn., were found to be toxic to two greenhouse pests, viz. the carmine spider mite, Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisd.) (Tetranychidae, Tetranychini) and cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glov. (Aphididae, Aphidini). In general, a minimum dose of 0.5 mu l/l air and 2-3 days of exposure was required for 99% mortality using essential oils of the first three plants.
