Abstract
The efficacy of volatile oils expressed as percentage of wax moths larvae mortality was investigated during this work. It was obviously increased with increasing concentration of "Apilifc VAR" as well as by increasing time after treatment.
• • Average mortality in control treatment was 42.86%. In ease of applying plant volatile oils "Apilife V AR" the average mortality was increased from 71.07% to 97.5% by increasing concentrations of Apilife VARin diet from 0.6 to
4.0 g /100 g diet, respectively.
• The average mortality was increased from 48.5% to
100% by increasing time after treatment from 3 to 39 days, respectively. After 3 and 39 days the morality averages recorded in untreated-larvae (control) were 12.5% and
52.5%, respectively.
• The average mortality of wax-moths larvae reached to
97.5% and I 00% 15 days after applying the volatile oils
"Apilife Var" at 3.2, and 4.0 g I 100 g medium, respectively.
• The percentages of alive pupae, emerged adults as well as laying eggs per female adult were sharply decreased by increasing concentration ofthe Apilife VARin artificial diet compared with control treatment. No adults were emerged when volatile oils mixture was used at rate of2.8 g per I 00 g of the feeding artifkial diet. Meanwhile, the few adult females emerged on diet treated with volatile oils
