The insecticidal toxicities of seven essential oils against Ricania sp. nymph and adults, newly recorded pest, were evaluated using leaf-dipping and spray methods. At 72 h exposure time, the LC50 values of the essential oils of Artemisia vulgaris, Anethum graveolens, Citrus paradisi, Melaleuca alternifolia, Melaleuca leucadendron, Neroli bigarade and Tagetes erecta were 251.02, 387.31, 286.21, 353.54, 275.64, 424.55, 165.68 mg/ cm2 when using the leaf dipping method against Ricania sp. nymphs, and 278.31, 402.11, 306.11, 379.64, 298.22, 459.56, 183.21 mg/cm2when using the spray method against Ricania sp. adults, respectively. These results indicate that the essential oil of the Tagetes erecta can be potentially used as new natural insecticidal agents against Ricania sp. nymph and adults. © The Korean Society for Applied Biological Chemistry 2016.
