Özet
The confused flour beetle (Tribolium confusum Jacquelin du Val; Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is one of the most common pests of stored food products worldwide. Synthetic insecticides are commonly used to control this pest; however, their long-term application poses health risks and environmental concerns. The aim of this study was to evaluate the repellent activity of essential oils (EOs) from Lavandula angustifolia Miller and Origanum vulgare L. (Lamiaceae) against T. confusum. In this study, EOs from L. angustifolia and O. vulgare were extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The repellent activity of the oils against T. confusum adults was evaluated using a two-choice bioassay. The data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s HSD test (P
