Abstract

The present study is to determine the effect of repellent and attracting of powders and essential oils of Eucalyptuscamaldulensis and Artemisia herbaalba. The results approved their effectiveness against
third instar of larvae and adults of khapra beetTrogodermagranarium. The rate of repellent Eucalyptus powder was 85.9% and 25.9%, while the rate of attraction decreased to 9.96% and 8.11% for larvae and adults respectively, while the rate of expulsion of Artemisia herbaalba was 77.36% and 20.7%, while the attracting rate was 17.34% and 6.64% for larvae and adults respectively, while the average rate of expulsion of essential oils of Eucalyptus was 60.75 and 55.16%. The rate of attraction decreased to 6.31% and 3.66% for larvae and adults respectively, the rate of expulsion of essential oils was 81.83% and 34.75% , while the attracting rate decreased to 5.87% and 1.83% for larvae and adults respectively, the effect of expulsion increased with increased concentration and exposure time. It is therefore possible to use essential oils and powders for both E. camaldulensis and A. herbaalba in the applied field for the management of the pest population in the stores.
