dc.description.abstractFresh pulverised leaves (00g) of Ocimum basilicum (L) were harvested in July 2014. Essential oil yield from the hydro-distilled leaves after 3 hours was 0.3(w/w) %. GC_MS analysis revealed the predominance of oxygenated monoterpenes (41.0%) in the oil. Terpinen-ol was the major oil constituent accounting for 29.8%. The essential oil (EO) vapour was used to generate an insecticidal atmosphere within airtight fumigation chambers (130mL). Each chamber contained 2 pairs of adult C. maculatus and ten seeds of Ife Brown cowpea variety. The EO was tested at 10, 20, 30 and 40 uL/130mL air. After 24 hours of exposure, the control had the lowest percentage mortality (0.00) while complete mortality was observed in both the 30uL and 40ul doses.en_US
