Plants and plant-derived materials play an extremely important role in pest management programs. Essential oil from wood chips of Himalayan Cedar,  Cedrus deodara  (Roxburgh) Don (Pinales: Pinaceae), was obtained by hydrodistillation and fractionated to pentane and acetonitrile from which himachalenes and atlantones enriched fractions were isolated. A total of forty compounds were identified from these fractions using GC and GC-MS analyses. Essential oils and fractions were evaluated for insecticidal activities against second instars of the diamondback moth,  Plutella xylostella  L. (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae), using a leaf dip method. All samples showed promising larvicidal activity against larvae of  P. xylostella.  The pentane fraction was the most toxic with a LC 50  value of 287 µg/ml. The himachalenes enriched fraction was more toxic (LC 50  = 362 µg/ml) than the atlantones enriched fraction (LC 50  = 365 µg/ml). LC 50  of crude oil was 425 µg/ml and acetonitrile fraction was LC 50  = 815 µg/ml. The major constituents, himachalenes and atlantones, likely accounted for the insecticidal action. Present bioassay results revealed the potential for essential oil and different constituents of  C.   deodara  as botanical larvicides for their use in pest management.
