Along with sulfate turpentine, the essential oils obtained by steam distillation from nine plant species naturally grown in Turkish forests were tested at three different concentrations to evaluate their effectiveness against the larvae of pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa Schiff). The results indicated that the essential oils from the nine species and sulfate turpentine were effective against the larvae of T pityocampa. The most effective essential oil in the control of the larvae was steam-distilled wood turpentine, followed by thyme herb oil, juniper berry oil, laurel leaf oil, lavender flower oil, eucalyptus leaf oil, lavender leaf oil, cypress berry oil, essential oil of styrax and sulfate turpentine, respectively, in terms of mean mortality time. It is therefore feasible to use these essential oils as environment-friendly insecticides in the control of T pityocampa.
除硫酸松节油外，对从土耳其森林中自然生长的9种植物经水蒸气蒸馏得到的精油进行了三种不同浓度的测试，以评估它们对松异舟蛾（Thaumetopoea pityocampa Schiff）幼虫的防治效果。结果表明，这9种植物的精油和硫酸松节油对松异舟蛾幼虫均有效。就平均致死时间而言，在防治幼虫方面最有效的精油依次是水蒸气蒸馏木松节油、百里香叶油、杜松子油、月桂叶油、薰衣草花油、桉树叶油、薰衣草叶油、柏子油、安息香精油和硫酸松节油。因此，使用这些精油作为环境友好型杀虫剂来防治松异舟蛾是可行的。
