TL;DR: The results indicated that the essential oil B. sessilicarpa aerial parts showed potential in terms of acute toxicity against grain storage insects.
Abstract: The aim of this research was to determine acute toxicity of the essential oil derived from aerial parts of Boenninghausenia sessilicarpa Levl. (Rutaceae) against two grain storage insects, maize weevils ( Sitophilus zeamais Motsch.) and red flour beetles ( Tribolium castaneum Herbst.). Essential oil of B. sessilicarpa aerial parts was obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 42 components of the essential oil were identified. The principal compounds in the essential oil were αcadinol (11.97%), carvacrol (8.77%), germacrene D (6.17%), o-cymene (6.13%), 4-terpineol (5.71%), and αpinene (5.53%). The essential oil exhibited strong contact toxicity against S. zeamais and T. castaneum adults with LD 50 value of 15.25 and 6.02 µg/adult, respectively. The results indicated that the essential oil B. sessilicarpa aerial parts showed potential in terms of acute toxicity against grain storage insects.
