Özet:

 


Origanum genus belonging to
the Lamiaceae family is aromatic and medicinal plant. It has been used in many
countries for medicinal and pharmaceutical purpose. Aerial part of the Origanum syriacum L. was dried at shade. The essential oil was
generated by steam distillation and compounds were identified by GC-MS
analysis. γ-terpinene (26.7%), thymol (26.6%) and carvacrol (22.9%) was
detected as the mail constituents. The essential oil was tested for
insecticidal activity against adult of Sitophilus oryzae (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) and
Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae) using fumigation
method. Essential oil revealed the excellent fumigant effect on R. dominica adults with a median lethal
concentration (LC50) value of 0.124 µl/insect and 0.107 µl/insect
for 48 h and 72 h respectively. LC50 values of S. oryzae were found as 0.173 µl/insect and 0.135 µl/insect for 48
h and 72 h respectively. As a result, essential oil of O. syriacum has a potency to be a natural insecticide.
