Abstract: Treatment of the adult of the lesser grain borer, Rhizopertha dominica (F.) with the LC50 of six essential oils extracted from the corresponding.emedicinal plants, peppermint, Marjorana, Lavander, Sweetbasil, Spearment and Artemisia resulted in ACh-estrases, Glutamic Transaminase (Gpt and Got), and Amylase activities in the body of the treated insect. In addition, the tested oils caused depletion in total pro¬teins and total carbohydrates in the body tissues of the tested adults. But these oils increased the total lipids in the treated insects comparing with the check.
