The chemical composition of the Pelargonium graveolens essential oil allowed the identification of 15 compounds (93.86% of the total essential oil). The major fractions were citronellol (35%) and geraniol (28.8%). The chemical composition of the Artemisia arborescens essential oil revealed twenty-one compounds representing 93.57% of the total essential oil. The main compounds were chamazulene (31.9%) and camphor (25.8%). The insecticidal effects were tested towards the insect Rhysopertha dominica. Results revealed that these two essential oils were highly effective against R. dominica at the dose of 50 µL on Petri dish of 8.5 cm of diameter. The antifungal activity was evaluated against Rhizoctonia solani and results showed that both of the essential oils were highly active at a dose of 12.5 µL/20 mL of PDA. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of P. graveolens essential oil was evidenced as stronger than that of the A. arborescens oil for all the tested doses.
香叶天竺葵精油的化学成分鉴定出 15 种化合物（占精油总量的 93.86%）。主要成分是香茅醇（35%）和香叶醇（28.8%）。 青蒿精油的化学成分揭示了 21 种化合物，占精油总量的 93.57%。主要成分是天蓝烃（31.9%）和樟脑（25.8%）。 对昆虫赤拟谷盗进行了杀虫效果测试。结果表明，这两种精油在剂量为 50µL 时对直径为 8.5cm 的培养皿中的 R. dominica 具有高度有效性。 对腐霉菌进行了抗真菌活性评价，结果表明，两种精油在剂量为 12.5µL/20mL PDA 时均具有高度活性。 此外，香叶天竺葵精油的抑制作用比青蒿油更强，所有测试剂量均如此。
