Article Synopsis
- The essential oil (EO) of Cannabis sativa was tested for its effectiveness against all life stages of the flea Ctenocephalides felis felis, showing significant insecticidal activity.
- The main components of the EO were identified as γ-elemene (16.2%) and caryophyllene oxide (14.2%) through advanced chemical analysis techniques.
- The study found that the EO achieved 100% mortality at higher concentrations, suggesting it could be developed as a flea treatment, particularly effective against flea eggs and larvae.
