Abstract EN
The chemical composition of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of Ziziphora clinopodioides Lam.
growing in Iran was analysed by GC and GC/MS.
Twenty-six components accounting to 97.62% of the total oil were identified.
The major components were pulegone (36.45%), piperitenone (19.12%), Menth-2-en-1-ol (5.31%), carvacrol (5.10%) neomenthol (4.78) and menthone (4.46%).
The essential oil was tested against Anopheles stephensi and Culex pipiens larvae.
The results obtained show that the essential oil could be considered as natural larvicidal agents.
