Abstract:Due to their effectiveness at low doses and relative safety for non-target species, plant essential oils (EOs) are considered ideal alternatives to conventional pesticides for pest control. In this study, the chemical composition of Thymus serpyllum (T. serpyllum) EO was construed by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), and its larvicidal and ovicidal activity against omnivorous pests Spodoptera litura (S. litura) was assessed. The effects of T. serpyllum EO on the activities of antioxidant detoxifica… Show more
