Potential repellent activity of the essential oil of ruta chalepensis (linnaeus) from chile against aegorhinus superciliosus (guérin) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the repellent effect of the essential oil of the rue (Ruta chalepensis) against the weevil Aegorhinus superciliosus, an important pest of fruit crops in Chile. Rue essential oil was obtained by steam distillation, and its components were identified by GC-M...
