This study was performed to investigate attraction effect of six plant essential oils and to confirm their electrophysiological response against Lycorma delicatula. Among the tested oils, spearmint oil (94.1%) significantly attracted L. delicatula at a dose of 1.25㎕/cm2 by using an olfactometer. In dose response to spearmint oil, a dose of 2.5㎕/cm2 was very effective. GC-MS analysis revealed that the active components responsible for the effective attraction effect of spearmint oil were carvone (70.6%) and limonene (54.8%). Of the two active components, carvone was more significant than limonene with reference to attraction activity against L. delicatula. Analysis by GC-EAD showed, major components of spearmint oil that elicited response in L. delicatula antennae, indicating the potential role of the essential oil as attractant that determine the choice of the attraction material. In the field test, spearmint oil exhibited attraction effect up to 5 days. This effect was different in accordance with test places and treatment dose.

Fumigant toxicity of four plant essential oils (muguet flower, patchouli, pennyroyal, spearmint) were tested against the adults of westem flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis. Among them, pennyroyal and spearmint oils showed 100% mortality at 1 ㎕/45 ㎖ air dose. Through the constituent analysis using GC and GC-MS, we confirmed that main constituents of pennyroyal oil were pulegone(100.0%), and spearmint oil were β-myrcene(3.5%), limonene(12.1%), carvone(85.4%). Among them, carvone and pulegone showed 100% fumigation at 1 ㎕/45 ㎖ air dose, respectively. It can concluded that two oils aloe potential control agents against F. occidentalis.

본 연구는 시설하우스의 주요 해충인 온실가루이와 담배가루이에 대한 spearmint oil의 훈증독성 및 접촉독성을 조사하였으며, gas chromatograph (GC)와 gas chromatograph mass spectrometry(GC/MS)를 이용하여 speamint oil의 주요 구성성분을 분석하였다. 훈증독성 시험 결과, 온실가루이에 대해서 spearmint oil은 air의 약량처리에서 의 살충활성을 나타내었으며, 5와 air의 약량처리에서 각각 와 의 살충활성을 나타내었다. 또한 담배가루이에 대해서 spearmint oil은 air의 약량처리에서 각각 의 살충활성을 나타내었으며, 5와 air의 약량에서도 각각 100, 의 높은 살충활성을 나타내었다. 그러나 온실가루이와 담배가루이 성충에 대한 spearmint oil의 접촉독성은 살충효과가 이하로 낮았다. Spearmint oil을 GC와 GC/MS로 분석한 결과, limonene (), -terpinene(), -cymene(), 3-octanol(), carvone()이 주요 구성성분으로 나타났으며, 주요성분인 carvone 은 air 약량에서 의 높은 훈증독성을 나타내었다.
