Morocco has a large number of aromatic and medicinal plants, but this wealth remains untapped, especially for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. These plants are used since centuries, allowing the moroccan population of several regions to accumulate expertise in herbal medicine. Among the secondary metabolites extracts of these plants, there are the essential oils which are mixtures of aromatic substances present in the form of tiny droplets in the leaves, peel fruit, resins, branches, and wood. These oils are a very interesting group, who are endowed with insecticidal properties. In order to find alternatives to chemical insecticides of synthesis, it is necessary to find and promote new phytosanitary practices that would have effects on the one hand, obtaining agricultural products of good market value, and on the other hand, respecting socio-ecological concepts of each ecosystem in preserving our environment in the long term. It is in this perspective that this study enrolled to evaluate the insecticidal activity of essential oils of three moroccan aromatic and medicinal plants: Thymus vulgaris, Mentha spicata and Citrus limonum. The results showed that the most important insecticidal activity was obtained for Thymus vulgaris essential oil followed by the Mentha spicata oil while the lowest activity was observed in Citrus limonum.

Abstract
Morocco has a large number of aromatic and medicinal plants, but this wealth remains untapped, especially for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. These plants are used since centuries, allowing the moroccan population of several regions to accumulate expertise in herbal medicine. Among the secondary metabolites extracts of these plants, there are the essential oils which are mixtures of aromatic substances present in the form of tiny droplets in the leaves, peel fruit, resins, branches, and wood. These oils are a very interesting group, who are endowed with insecticidal properties.

Abstract: (french)
Le Maroc dispose d’un grand nombre de plantes aromatiques et médicinales, mais cette richesse reste peu exploitée, notamment à des fins cosmétiques et thérapeutiques. Ces plantes sont utilisées depuis des siècles, permettant à la population marocaine de plusieurs régions d'accumuler un savoir-faire en phytothérapie. Parmi les métabolites secondaires extraits de ces plantes, on trouve les huiles essentielles qui sont des mélanges de substances aromatiques présentes sous forme de minuscules gouttelettes dans les feuilles, les écorces des fruits, les résines, les branches et le bois. Ces huiles sont dotées de propriétés insecticides très intéressantes. Dans le but de trouver des alternatives aux insecticides chimiques de synthèse, il est nécessaire de rechercher et de promouvoir de nouvelles pratiques phytosanitaires qui auraient pour effets, d’une part, l’obtention de produits agricoles de bonne valeur marchande, et d’autre part, le respect des concepts socio-écologiques de chaque écosystème en préservant ainsi à long terme notre environnement. C’est dans cette perspective que s’inscrit cette étude afin d’évaluer l’activité insecticide des huiles essentielles de trois plantes aromatiques et médicinales marocaines: Thymus vulgaris, Mentha spicata et Citrus limonum. Les résultats obtenus ont montré que la plus importante activité insecticide a été obtenue chez l’huile essentielle du Thymus vulgaris suivie de l’huile du Mentha spicata tandis que la plus faible activité a été observée chez Citrus limonum.
Author Keywords: Huile essentielle, Thymus vulgaris, Mentha spicata, Citrus limonum, activité insecticide, mouche de Hesse.
