In this work, the essential oils (EOs) from leaves and flowers of  Rhododendron spinuliferum  and  Rhododendron spiciferum  were extracted by hydrodistillation, chemical compositions of EOs were analyzed by GC-MS and GC-FID. For  R. spinuliferum  and  R. spiciferum , α- and β-pinene were common major compounds. It provided an opportunity to test the potential synergistic effect of α- and β-pinene among EOs. Firstly, four EOs and two major compounds (α- and β-pinene) exhibited fumigant, contact and repellent activities to three stored-product insects. To the red flour beetle, leaves of both species exhibited stronger contact toxicity than flowers did. This trend was diverse to the booklouse. Furthermore, binary mixture bioassays of α- and β-pinene were performed following natural proportions. Results of multiple linear regression showed that α-pinene, trans-β-farnesene and bornyl acetate were responsible for the contact toxicity to the red flour beetle and booklouse with diverse contribution.

Synergized potential, insecticidal and repellent activity of essential oils from two Rhododendron species against three stored product insects
