| Abstract | ||||
| Ephestia cautella is a serious insect pest of dates either in the field or in the form of stored product. Also, this insect pest infests other stored products and causes high loss in all these fruits and cereal grains and their products. Results indicated that, the sensitivity of Ephestia cautella to the oils treatment which effect on biochemical and morphological characters. Plant oils have most effective as insecticides, insect growth inhibitors and antifeedants against a variety of insect species. The biochemical changes in the haemolymph of Ephestia cautella larvae treated with different sub lethal oils concentrations of two fixed oils (Black seed and Cumin) and three volatile oils (Clove, Ginger and Garlic) were studied. All oils treatment increased the levels of haemolymph lipids & protein but decreased the carbohydrate contents. Treatment with above mention oils induced some morphogenic abnormalities in the treated larval stage and subsequent developmental stages were also studied and discussed. | ||||
