Chemical variability for authenticated and commercial Artemisia absinthium L. essential oils with thujones on tephritid fruit flies: Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) and Caribbean fruit fly Anastrepha suspensa (Loew)
These findings demonstrate that thujones have both attractant properties for male <i>C. capitata</i> and significant toxicity to <i>A. suspensa</i>, making them promising candidate compounds for integration into comprehensive integrated pest management strategies.
