【 摘 要 】

This research was aimed at evaluating in vitro and in vivo effects of citronella (Cymbopogon nardus (L.) Rendle) oil on catle ticks. The volatile oil was obtained from de fresh leaves of citronella grass by steam destilation and the yelds was 0.7%. Seven (0; 0.5; 1.0; 10.0; 25.0; 50.0; 100.0%) and nine (0.1; 0.25; 0.5; 1.0; 2.0; 10.0; 25.0; 50.0; 100.0%) concentrations of citonella oil were used on in vitro trials with engorged female ticks. The efficacy control ticks was 0; 44.2; 92.1; 85.6; 87.8; 87.0; 88.9 and 0; 0.7; 2.8; 51.6; 79.3; 81.0; 87.1; 86.7 89.5 %, respectively. These sugest that the citronella oil can be practical used for controlling of catle ticks.
