Adult Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) were introduced into cowpea seeds which were stored in containers with volatile oils derived from Mentha arvensis, M. piperata, M. spicata and Cymbopogon nardus. The numbers of eggs laid, adult mortality, adult emergence and subsequent seed damage were studied for four months. All oils significantly influenced all parameters (P<0.05) and results with different parameters were generally parallel. Significant differences for at least some time/parameters combinations indicated an order of potency of M. spicata>M. piperata>M. arvensis>C. nardus.
将成年绿豆象（Callosobruchus maculatus (F.)）引入储存在装有来源于薄荷（Mentha arvensis）、胡椒薄荷（M. piperata）、留兰香（M. spicata）和香茅（Cymbopogon nardus）挥发油容器中的豇豆种子中。对产卵数量、成虫死亡率、成虫羽化以及随后的种子损害情况进行了四个月的研究。所有挥发油均对所有参数产生显著影响（P<0.05），并且不同参数的结果总体上是平行的。至少在某些时间/参数组合上存在显著差异，表明效力顺序为留兰香>胡椒薄荷>薄荷>香茅。
