Abstract
The objective of this research was to control the presence of Drugstore
beetle (Stegobium paniceum), Cigarette beetle (Laisoderma serricorne),
and Lesser grain borer (Rhizoperth dominica) in adults. The aim was to
investigate how infestation by these insects affects the rate of weight loss
and susceptibility index in fennel seeds. Furthermore, the study aimed to
identify the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are produced when fennel
seeds are infested with S. paniceum insects and/or treated with lemongrass
(Cymbopogon citratus (DC.). Fumigation with essential oils was considered as a
potential and effective method for managing insects due to its proven
insecticidal properties and minimal harm to the environment.
