Mentha piperita L. (Lamiaceae) uçucu yağının iki önemli depolanmış ürün zararlısına karşı insektisidal aktivitesi ve buğdayın çimlenmesi üzerine etkisi

Öz

Bu çalışmada Mentha piperita L. (Lamiaceae) bitkisinde elde edilen uçucu yağın iki önemli depo zararlısı Tribolium castaneum (Herbst, 1797) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) ve Sitophilus granarius (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae)’a karşı kontak aktivitesi laboratuvar koşullarında test edilmiştir. Bu amaçla bitki uçucu yağı 0.05, 0.1 ve 0.15 µl/böcek dozunda depolanmış ürün zararlılarına mikroaplikatör yardımı ile uygulanmıştır. Uygulamadan 24, 48, 72 ve 96 saat sonra ölü bireyler kaydedilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda uçucu yağ uygulama yapılan zararlı ve doza bağlı olarak değişen oranlarda kontak aktivite göstermiştir. T. castaneum için 24 saat sonunda en yüksek aktivite %23.6 ölüm oranı ile 0.15 µl/böcek uygulama dozunda belirlenirken bu oran 96 saat sonunda en yüksek %33.4 olarak belirlenmiştir. S. granarius için ise bu yağın kontak aktivitesi daha yüksek olmuş ve 24 saat sonunda 0.15 µl/böcek uygulama dozunda %93.4 ölüm oranı belirlenmiştir. 96 saat sonunda ise aynı dozdaki ölüm oranının S. granarius için %98.2 olduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca uçucu yağın buğday tanesinin çimlenme gücü üzerine etkisi 2, 5, 10 ve 20 μl/Petri dozlarında laboratuvar koşullarında araştırılmıştır. En yüksek uygulama dozu olan 20 µl/Petri dozunda buğdayların çimlenme oranı %73.8 olarak belirlenirken en düşük uygulama dozu olan 2 µl/Petri dozunda buğdayların %99.4’ü çimlenmiştir. Çalışma sonuçları M. piperita uçucu yağının S. granarius mücadelesinde kullanılma potansiyelinin olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

Insecticidal activity of Mentha piperita L. (Lamiaceae) essential oil against two important stored product pests and its effect on wheat germination

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the contact activity of the essential oil derived from Mentha piperita L. (Lamiaceae) against two significant stored product pests, namely Tribolium castaneum (Herbst, 1797) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) and Sitophilus granarius (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Dryophthoridae), in a controlled laboratory setting. For this purpose, concentrations of 0.05, 0.1, and 0.15 µl/insect of plant essential oil were applied to stored product pests using a microapplicator. Dead insects were counted at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours after application. As a result of the study, the essential oil demonstrated contact activity at varying rates depending on the applied pest and dose. After 24 hours, the 0.15 µl/insect application dose was the most effective against T. castaneum, resulting in a 23.6% mortality rate; after 96 hours, this rate increased to 33.4%. The essential oil exhibited greater contact activity on S. granarius, resulting in a 93.4% mortality rate after 24 hours when administered at a concentration of 0.15 µl/insect. At the end of 96 hours, the mortality rate at the same dose was found for S. granarius to be 98.2%. In addition, the effect of essential oil on the germination power of wheat grain was examined at doses of 2, 5, 10 and 20 μl/Petri under laboratory conditions. 73.8% of the seeds germinated at the maximum dose of 20 µl/Petri, while 99.4% germinated at the minimum dose of 2 µl/Petri. The research findings indicate that the essential oil of M. piperita possesses the capacity to be employed for the management of S. granarius.
