Fumigant effect of trans-anethole and carbon dioxide mixture against to Rhyzopertha dominica, Tribolium castaneum and Sitophilus oryzae
Abstract
In this study, fumigant activity of trans-anethole and carbon dioxide (CO2) mixtures were tested against stored grain insect, Rhyzopertha dominica (Col.: Bostrichidae), Tribolium castaneum (Col.: Tenebrionidae), and Sitophilus oryzae (Col.: Curculionidae). Rhyzopertha dominica and S. oryzae were most sensitive insects to fumigant trans-anethole and CO2. Dose-response bioassay was carried out on the R. dominica and S. oryzae. As a result, R. dominica and S. oryzae were most sensitive insects to the mixture of trans-anethole and CO2. Moreover, mixture of trans-anethole and CO2 (1.5 ml/l + 60% CO2) caused rapid mortality (100%) at the end of the 24 h gave 100% mortality for all insects. LC50 values of trans-anethole were calculated 1.414 ml/l and 1.272 ml/l for the S. oryzae and R. dominica, respectively. These results indicate that the mixtures of trans-anethole and CO2 have a great potential as a fumigant in the management of R. dominica, S. oryzae, and T. castaneum.
