The antifeedant activity of 20 plant essential oils, constituents from clove stem oil and related compounds were tested against the third instar larvae from both moth Spodoptera litura and Spodoptera exigua by used leaf dipping bioassay. Among the oils tested, clove stem (94%), thyme oil red (85%), and savory oil (80%) were showed high antifeedant activity against both S. litura and S. exigua third instar larvae. Thyme oil white (91%), geranium (90%), and cinnamon bark oil (85%) were shown high antifeedant activity against only S. exigua when compare other oils. The other plant essential oils were showed moderate (40-50%) or low (>20%) antifeedant activity against third instar larvae of both S. litura and S. exigua. The most active clove stem oil constituents were indentified by GC-MS. The major constituents eugenol (95%), farnesene (81%) and structurally related compounds isoeugenol (96%), nerolidol (80%) were showed significant antifeedant activity against both S. litura and S. exigua. Global efforts to reduce the level of highly toxic synthetic insecticides in the agricultural environment justify further studies on the essential oils and their constituents describes as potential insecticides for the control of moth population with antifeedant activity.
