Repellency of two monoterpenoids and neem oil against Callosobruchus maculatus (F.)
نویسنده
چکیده
The repellent activity of monoterpenoids viz. eugenol, zimtaldehyde and neem oil against pulse beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (F.) was investigated. Responses varied significantly with compound, dose and exposure time. The tested components showed highest level of repellency against C. maculatus at a dose of 1 μl. Over 80%, Class V, repellency was achieved after 5 to 60 min. treatment with the components at a dose of 1 μl. The repellent action of zimtaldehyde showed the highest repellency (87.41% at 10 min exposure) status against C. maculatus than neem oil and eugenol, while the lowest (79.46%) was recorded for eugenol at 25 min exposure level.

Insecticidal activity of essential oil extracted from Morinda lucida was tested on pulse beetle Callosobruchus maculatus, which is a pest that causes serious damage to several pulses. The insecticidal activity was compared with two pesticides, Phostoxin and Primo-ban-20. 120 mixed sex adult C. maculatus were introduced, along with 30 g of cowpeas. Four concentrations (0.40, 0.20, 0.10, and 0.05...
