ABSTRACT
The insecticidal properties of essential oil derived via the hydro-distillation method from aerial parts of
Artemisia judaica
L.
were tested against the cowpea weevil,
Callosobruchus maculatus
(Fab.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae). The repellent activity assay of essential oil against
C. maculates
adults indicated that in concentrations of 63.7, 31.9, 15.9, 8.0 or 4
.
0 μg/cm
2
, the oil reduced egg laying by
92.5, 86.0, 61.8, 42.7 and 12.5%, respectively. Also, the residual-film assay showed that after 72 hours of treatment, concentrations of
50 and 40% were highly effective against the
C. maculates
adults. The sub-lethal effects of essential oil were investigated on fecundity
and F
1
progany by exposing adult females to treated seeds. Both LC
25
and LC
50
of essential oil significantly reduced F
1
progany pro-
duction compared to the control. The chemical composition of the essential oil was analyzed by GC-MS and the resulting oil piperitone (32.4%), camphor (20.6%) and (
E
)-ethyl cinnnamate (8.2%) were found to contain the major constituents of the oil. This provided
the insecticidal properties of the essential oil against cowpea weevil.
