%X ABSTRACT Continued use of chemical insecticides causes toxicity to non-target organisms, pest resistance and environmental pollution around the world. Nanocapsules of botanical insecticides are a suitable alternative for this target. The major constituents of Eucalyptus extract were determined by GC-MS: 1,8-cineole (70.94%) and 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid (6.08%). The Characterization of nanocapsule was investigated by dynamic light scattering, Zeta potential, scanning electron microscope, optical microscope and FTIR. The mean particle size distribution of nanocapsule is 380£¿nm and zeta potential of £¿26.36£¿¡À£¿5.31£¿mV was obtained. It could be observed that nanocapsules have a spherical shape. To determine the insecticides of the nanocapsule with loads Eucalyptus extract was impregnated with concentration (0, 10, 15, 25, 35, 50£¿mg/ml) for 12, 24 and 48-h after exposure. The results indicated, that over time encapsulation exposure from 12 to 48£¿h, the highest time was comparatively more susceptible (LC50£¿=£¿14.93£¿mg/ml). GRAPHICAL ABSTRAC
