Toxicological efficacy of some indigenous dill compounds against the flesh fly, Parasarcophaga dux Thomson.
The effect of the LC50 of the three isolated compounds (apiol, myristicin and d-carvone) from dill, Anethum graveolus on growth and reproduction of Parasarcophaga dux showed that three compounds especially apiol caused significant reduction in the percentage of adults emergence and females fecundity. The temperature toxicity relation shape of the three compounds and five insect growth regulations (methoprene, hydroprene, teflubenzuron, chlorfluazuron and Precocene I) alone or in combination against P. dux was studied and discussed.
