ABSTRACT
Essential oil of
Artemisia annua
L.
was investigated to find out its toxicity and physiological aspects on the slug
Agriolimax
agrestis,
in controlled conditions (8±1°C, 75±5 RH and 14:10 LD). The slugs received different concentrations of essential oil treated
radish leaves in methanol, while the control received methanol alone. LC

and LC

values were estimated at 4.67, 5.3, 5.81,
7.25%, respectively. The effect of the essential oil on some important enzymatic components like; cytochrome P450 monnooxygenase,
acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, lipase, amylase and protease were significantly increased compared to the control. These
results indicate that the plant
Artemisia annua
L. not only shows toxicity but also shows some irreversible effect on some important
biochemical components and deserves further investigation
