Abstract

The essential oil from leaves of Chrysanthemum balsamita L. was analyzed by GC and GCMS techniques. About 30 components have been identified. The oil revealed insecticidal properties against aphids. Very little phytotoxicity was observed. The insecticidal activity could not be attributed to one of the single main substituents of the oil.
