Toxicity by topical application of Allium sativum, Rosmarinus officinalis, and Salvia officinalis essential oils (EOs) against adults of Calliphora vomitoria.
| EO | LD50 a | LD95 b | Intercept | p |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A. sativum | 0.44(0.23–1.02) | 1.37(0.72–56.79) | 1.186 | < 0.001 |
| R. officinalis | 1.10(0.60–10.70) | 3.43(1.40–807.14) | −0.138 | 0.544 |
| S. officinalis | 1.97(0.79–74.88) | 6.13(1.87–5502.96) | −0.978 | 0.001 |
a, Concentration of the EO that kills 50% of the exposed flies. b, Dose of the EO that kills 95% of the exposed flies. Data are expressed as µL insect−1. In bracket, confidence interval. Pearson goodness of fit test: χ2 = 16.353, df = 5, p = 0.006. Since the significance level (p) is less than 0.150, a heterogeneity factor is used in the calculation of confidence limits.
