Abstract
Thyme oil was obtained by hydrodistillation and Thymol the major const ituents was purchased from Prolabo Co. and they were tested against Te tranychus urticae Koch. Thymol was more potent than Thyme oil as a det errent factor for reducing egg laying by the mite. Mortality percentag e reached 100% with both materials used, however, with low concentrati on the effect was pronounced with Thymol than Thyme oil.
