Acaricidal Activity of Sweet Basil and French Lavender Essential Oils Against Two Species of Mites of the Family Tetranychidae (Acari: Tetranychidae)

Abstract: Two essential oils, namely Ocimum basilicum L. and Lavandula officinalis Chaix, were tested for their repellency, toxicity and oviposition deterrence against two tetranychid mites, tetranychus urticae (Koch) and Eutetranychus orientalis (Klein).Fifty-seven and forty-seven compounds, comprising about 96.7 and 95.4% of sweet basil and French lavender oil, respectively, were positively identified using GC-MS technique.
