Abstract
Effect of four essential oils of Cinnamomum camphora (L.) J. Presl, Cymbopogon flexuosus (Nees ex Steud.) J.F. Watson, Ageratum conyzoides L. and Ocimum gratissimum L. was investigated against Sitotroga cerealella (Oliver). Oil of C. camphora was found highly effective at 0.20, 0.10, 0.05 percent concentration (v/w), however C. flexuosus and O. gratissimum were effective only at higher concentration of 0.20, 0.10% (v/w). Essential oil of A. conyzoides was not much effective against S. cerealellaat all concentrations tested. The efficacy of essential oils increased with the increase in dose.
