The bioactivity of Artemisia absinthium and A. dracunculus essential oils (EOs) was evaluated against two stored-product insect pests (Sitophilus granaries and Tribolium castaneum) and two root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita and M. chitwoodi). EOs were hydrodistilled and analyzed by GC-MS: A. absinthium consisted mainly of myrtenyl acetate (47.10%) and \u03b2-thujone (11.41%); A. dracunculus of methyleugenol (26.02%), \u03b2-asarone (14.04%), and elemicin (10.95%). In contact bioassays, A. absinthium caused 93.2\u201396.8% mortality against S. granarius, but minimal effect on T. castaneum. A. dracunculus caused 66.3\u201373.5% mortality against S. granarius, no effect on T. castaneum, yet reduced progeny by 87%. Both EOs strongly repelled T. castaneum but weakly affected S. granarius. A. dracunculus exhibited 100% nematicidal efficacy against M. incognita and 94.9% against M. chitwoodi; A. absinthium showed limited effect. A. dracunculus showed minimal hatching inhibition (&lt;30%), whereas A. absinthium increased hatching. Sparse Partial Least Squares (sPLS) prioritized pulegone, methyleugenol, \u03b2-asarone, \u03b2-thujone, myrtenyl acetate, and \u03b2-phellandrene as constituents co-varying with AChE\/BChE responses, with docking identifying pulegone as the top ligand. These findings demonstrate species-specific bioactivity patterns: A. dracunculus shows strong nematicidal and reproductive inhibitory effects, whereas A. absinthium shows potent acute toxicity and repellency against S. granarius, supporting multi-target biopesticide strategies to mitigate risks of synthetic chemical treatments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/insects17080837","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,12]],"date-time":"2026-08-12T07:57:26Z","timestamp":1786521446000},"page":"837","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bioactivity of Artemisia dracunculus and A. absinthium Essential Oils Against Stored Product Insect Pests and Root-Knot Nematodes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6402-0287","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emre","family":"Evlice","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Sivas University of Science and Technology, 58000 Sivas, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7125-2270","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mustafa","family":"Alkan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Yozgat Bozok University, 66900 Yozgat, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1997-5639","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00d6mer Cem","family":"Karako\u00e7","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vocational School, \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131 Karatekin University, 18100 \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sait","family":"Ert\u00fcrk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Plant Pest, Directorate of Plant Protection Central Research Institute, 06172 Ankara, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Reyhan","family":"Bahtiyarca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Field Crops Central Research Institute, 06170 Ankara, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yasemin Y\u00fccel","family":"Y\u00fccel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biochemistry, Faculty of Pharmacy, Altinbas University, 34145 \u0130stanbul, T\u00fcrkiye"},{"name":"Natural Products Research and Development Center, D\u00dcAGEM, Alt\u0131nba\u015f University, 34145 \u0130stanbul, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2951-3657","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali R\u0131za","family":"T\u00fcfek\u00e7i","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Natural Science, \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131 Karatekin University, 18100 \u00c7ank\u0131r\u0131, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0142-6105","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00dcmit","family":"Y\u0131rt\u0131c\u0131","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Laboratory, Health Services Vocational School, K\u0131r\u0131kkale University, 71450 K\u0131r\u0131kkale, T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"12175","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.jafc.0c02871","article-title":"Chemical nematicides: Recent research progress and outlook","volume":"68","author":"Chen","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
