Abstract
Limonene, limonene oxide and eight beta-amino alcohol derivatives obtained by synthesis were investigated for the effect on egg hatchability and mortality rates of newly hatched larvae of the cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. At the doses between 10 microg/ml and 2.5 microg/ml all the compounds were highly lethal to the larvae and some of them showed activity at lower concentrations. The effect on the eggs hatchability was observed in all the treatments.
