The pine processionary moth (PPM), Thaumetopoea wilkinsoni Tams. (Lepidoptera: Thaumetopoeidae), is an important forest pest in the Mediterranean area, additionally urticating hairs of the caterpillars of this species cause strong allergic reactions on skin of humans and animals. In the present study, essential oils extracted from aerial parts of Origanum onites L. and fruit peels of Citrus aurentium L. were tested at three doses (0.1, 0.5 and 1%) against 4th and 5th instar larvae of the pest. The results showed that the activities were concentration dependent. The LD50 and LD90 values were 0.288 and 0.926% for O. onites, 0.530 and 2.306% for C. aurentium, respectively.
松异舟蛾(PPM),即 Thaumetopoea wilkinsoni Tams.(鳞翅目:异舟蛾科),是地中海地区一种重要的森林害虫,此外,该物种幼虫的刺毛会对人类和动物的皮肤引起强烈的过敏反应。在本研究中,对从牛至(Origanum onites L.)地上部分和酸橙(Citrus aurentium L.)果皮中提取的精油进行了三种剂量(0.1%、0.5%和1%)的测试,以对抗该害虫的4龄和5龄幼虫。结果表明,活性呈浓度依赖性。牛至精油的LD50和LD90值分别为0.288%和0.926%,酸橙精油的LD50和LD90值分别为0.530%和2.306%。
