| Abstract: |
| Cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera Hub, is one of the serious pests of the several agricultural crops. Essential oils are known for insect control properties. In this study, lethal and sublethal effects of essential oil from Cupressus arizonica were evaluated on 3rd instar larvae of the insect by fumigant method. The insect was reared on artificial diet at laboratory. Bioassays were carried out at 25±2°c, 60±5% RH and 16:8 (L: D) h. Young (24 h |
