Abstract

With the aim of discovering essential oils that could be used as attractants or repellents of
Thrips tabaci, an insect that affects asparagus, we report here the chemical composition
of essential oils obtained from 10 Peruvian aromatic plants: Jungia paniculata (DC.) A.
Gray, Piper hispidum Sw., Ambrosia arborescens Mill., Ambrosia peruviana Willd., Luma
chequen (Feuillée ex Molina) A. Gray., Minthostachys setosa (Briq.) Epling, Lepechinia
meyenii (Walp.) Epling, Ruta chalepensis L., Ruta graveolens L., Aristolochia silvatica Barb.
Rod. Chemical composition of essential oils from J. paniculata (“Matico de la sierra”), A.
peruviana (“Marco hembra”), L. meyenii (“Pachasalvia”) and A. silvatica (“Huampishcuna”)
are reported here for the first time.
