Chemical Composition, Insecticidal and Mosquito Larvicidal Activities of Allspice (<i>Pimenta dioica</i>) Essential Oil

Essential oils are biologically and environmentally safe pesticidal compounds yielded from aromatic plants. Spices are important sources of essential oils, and they are widely used in the medicine, food, and various other industries. Among the different spices, Allspice (<i>Pimenta dioica</...
