Abstract :The essential oil obtained from the aerial part of Chenopodium botrys plant by steam distillation was obtained. The remaining aqueous part was extracted with the solvent ethylacetate and n-butanol, respectively. In the end, five extracts were obtained: essential oil insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CB-EO);, untreated aqueous extract insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CB-F);, ethylacetate insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CB-EA);, n-butanol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CB-nBu); and processed aqueous extract insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CB-L);. The effects of five extracts on both insecticidal insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(against Sitophilus granarius and Tribolium castaneum); and enzyme activities insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(acetylcholinesterase, xanthine oxidase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(XO); and tyrosinase); were studied. It has been determined that CB-F extract has an activation effect against tyrosinase enzyme. At the end of 48 hours, CB-EA extract was determined to cause 20% death against the adult insects of Sitophilus granarius as a result of contact toxicity test. As a result of GC-MS analysis of essential oil, α-Eudesmol compound was analyzed as the main component
