Effect of cinnamon oil encapsulated with silica nanoparticles on some biological and biochemical aspects of the rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica (Staint.) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

Bioassays were carried out to evaluate the effect of sub-lethal concentration (LC50) of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), cinnamon oil encapsulated with silica nanoparticles (CESN), cinnamon oil and silica gel on some biological parameters of the 6th instar larvae of Corcyra cephalonica.
