Abstract

The study focuses on the evaluation of the insecticidal potential of  Citrus limonum, C. sinensis, C. paradisi and C. aurantium as  bioinsecticides to reduce the damage caused by the pest  Acanthoscelides obtectus on white bean crops. The toxicity of  essential oils extracted from 04 species of Citrus was tested under  laboratory conditions at 30°C and 70% RH by three modes of action  contact, inhalation and repulsion on the A. obtectus adults longevity.  The results obtained for the parameter studied indicate that the  essential oils extracted from C. limonum, C. sinensis and C. paradisi  exert a more or less significant toxicity towards the insect pest for all  the tests carried out, however the oil extracted from C. aurantium is  the most effective since the A. obtectus longevity decreases from the  lowest dose of 2µl and is 100% at 6µl. Regarding the inhalation test,  the fumigation effect is very important from the lowest doses achieved  with C. aurantium essential oil, on the other hand the other oils have  only shown significant effectiveness at the highest doses. The results  of the repellency test revealed that C. aurantium essential oil is the  most repellant compared to the other essential oils tested.
