    AnnotationPelargonium graveolens is a valuable source of biologically active compounds and a promising botanical pesticide. In this study, supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of Pelargonium leaves was optimized to improve the extraction yields, selectivity and pesticidal activity under different operational conditions (pressure 9–30 MPa, temperature 40 and 50 °C). The composition and pesticidal activity of the CO2 extracts were compared with the isolates obtained by maceration and hydrodistillation. GC–MS and GC–FID were used to determine the chemical composition of the isolates. The insecticidal activity (acute and chronic toxicity, antifeedancy) of the isolates was measured on larvae of Spodoptera litoralis.The antifungal activity was evaluated as the inhibition effect on the growth of model pathogenic and toxinogenic fungi. Results suggest that CO2 extracts of P. graveolens can be suitable substitutes to the essential oil in the use as botanical pesticides.
