The aim of this work is to evaluate the insecticidal activity of the encapsulatedrosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) essential oil coated intochitosan matrix. The effectiveness of crude and encapsulated oils has been studied during different storage periods (30, 45 and 60 days). Results revealed that the chitosan-essential oil formulation exhibited high insecticidal activity against adults of Tribolium castaneum as compared to crude essential oil during the different storage periods.
