Determining the Effects of Some Essential Oil Against the Larvae of Musca domestica Linnaeus, 1758 (Diptera: Muscidae)

Abstract

Aim: Essential oils from plants can provide environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional synthetic insecticides. The aim of this study was to evaluated the effects of five different essential oil (Thymus vulgaris, Piper nigrum, Syzygium aromaticum, Hypericum perforatum, Papaver somniferum) against the larvae of Musca domestica.
Method: Three different doses (1%, 3% ve 6%) of the each essential oils were applied to larvae of Musca domestica in five replications. The researches were carried out 70±1.5% humidity and 27±0.5 oC temperature at Animal Physiology Laboratory of Ondokuz Mayıs University. Probit analysis program was used to determine lethal concentrations (LC50 and LC90) in the study.
Results: The study was monitored for twenty days and the results were evaluated on the percent mortality rate. When the 6% dose of all oils were assessed, the highest mortality rate was observed in Piper nigrum (100%), Syzygium aromaticum (100%), Hypericum perforatum (84%), Thymus vulgaris (84%), Papaver somniferum (82%). LC90 values of five oils were determined as 2.06, 1.88, 3.39, 2.92, 3.35 respectively.
Conclusion and Suggestions: Among the five essential oils used in this research, Syzygium aromaticum and Piper nigrum can be used effectively in the control larvae of Musca domestica.

BAZI ESANSİYAL YAĞLARIN MUSCA DOMESTİCA LİNNAEUS, 1758 (DİPTERA: MUSCİDAE) LARVALARINA KARŞI ETKİLERİNİN BELİRLENMESİ

Abstract

Amaç: Bitkilerden elde edilen uçucu yağlar, geleneksel sentetik böcek öldürücülere çevre dostu alternatifler sağlayabilir. Bu çalışmada beş farklı esansiyel yağın (Thymus vulgaris, Piper nigrum, Syzygium aromaticum, Hypericum perforatum, Papaver somniferum) Musca domestica larvalarına karşı etkisinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Yöntem: Her yağ çeşidinin üç farklı dozu (% 1, % 3 ve % 6) beş tekerrürlü olarak Musca domestica larvalarına uygulanmıştır. Araştırma, 70±1.5% nem ve 27±0.50oC sıcaklıkta Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi hayvan fizyoloji labaratuvarında yapılmıştır. Çalışmada ölüm konsantrasyonlarının (LC50 ve LC90) belirlenmesi için Probit analiz programı kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Çalışma yirmi gün izlenmiş ve sonuçlar yüzde ölüm oranı üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Tüm yağların% 6 dozu değerlendirildiğinde, en yüksek ölüm oranı Piper nigrum (%100), Syzygium aromaticum (%100), Hypericum perforatum (%84), Thymus vulgaris (%84), Papaver somniferum (%82) gözlenlenmiştir. Beş yağda LC90 değerleri ise sırasıyla 2.06, 1.88, 3.39, 2.92, 3.35 olarak belirlenmiştir.
Sonuç ve Önerileri: Bu araştırmada kullanılan beş esansiyel yağ arasından Syzygium aromaticum ve Piper nigrum Musca domestica larvalarının mücadelesinde etkin olarak kullanılabilir.
