In this study, the essential oil of leaves Eucalyptus globulus (Myrtales: Myrtaceae) was analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and their potential insecticidal against the olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Thephritidae) was investigated. The essential oil yield was 0.36 ± 0.03% (w/w). A total of 41 compounds (99.99%) were identified. (-)-spathulenol (32.66%), o-cymene (28.30%) and (+-)-cryptone (12.13%) were major constituents. The toxic impact of essential oil of E. globulus was assessed against B. oleae adults through two toxicity tests (contact and fumigation). B. oleae was more susceptible to E. globulus and adult mortality increased according to concentration and exposure time. In the contact toxicity, the lethal concentration LC50 values were 0.24 µL/cm2 and 0.15 µL/cm2 in 24 h and 48 h, respectively and LC90 values of 0.64 µl/cm2 and 0.33 µL/cm2 were obtained in 24 h and 48 h, respectively. In fumigation assay on olive fruit fly adults, LC50 values were 14.05 μL/L air and 5.71 μL/L air at 24 h and 48 h, respectively and LC90 values of 51.53 μL/L air and 21.64 μL/L air at 24 h and 48 h, respectively. The findings of current study show that use of essential oil of leaves of E. globulus against B. oleae is considered as an eco-friendly alternative natural insecticide. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
