Abstract

Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) is a common pest around the world, but it is a pest of stored products, especially wheat-derived products. In this study, it was aimed to try to reduce the use of chemicals applied against warehouse pests and their negative effects on the environment, and to investigate the use of vegetable oils, which are increasingly produced in our country and in the world, against pests. For this purpose, the effects of Thyme oil (Origanum minutiflorum), Lavender oil (Lavandula hybrida), Juniper seed oil (Juniperus excelsa) and Cedarwood oil (Cedrus atlantica) on T. castaneum were tried to be determined. For this purpose, diluted vegetable oils were adsorbed in cotton and left in a petri dish and T. castaneum individuals were transferred into it. Living and dead individuals were counted 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after the application and the percent mortality rates were determined. This study was carried out in climate cabinets of Isparta University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Plant Protection, with a temperature of 25±1 °C, a relative humidity of 60±5%, 16:8 lighting conditions. As a result of the study, it was observed that the highest dose of fats and the death rates at the end of the 7th day were 100%, 100%, 76% and 84%, respectively. When the results of the study were evaluated, it was determined that the fumigant effect of the applied thyme oil was higher than the others.

Bazı Bitkisel Yağların Unbiti Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) Üzerindeki Etkileri

Abstract

Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), dünya çapında yaygın bir zararlı olmakla birlikte depolanan ürünlerin özellikle de buğdaydan elde edilen ürünlerin zararlısıdır. Bu çalışmada depo zararlılarına karşı uygulanan kimyasalların kullanımını ve çevreye olan olumsuz etkilerini azaltmaya çalışmak, ülkemizde ve dünyada gittikçe üretimi artan bitkisel yağların zararlılara karşı kullanım olanaklarının araştırılması hedef alınmıştır. Bu amaçla Kekik yağı (Origanum minutiflorum), Lavanta yağı (Lavandula hybrida), Ardıç tohumu yağı (Juniperus excelsa) ve Sedir ağacı yağı (Cedrus atlantica)’nın T. castaneum üzerindeki etkileri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla seyreltilmiş bitkisel yağlar pamuğa emdirilerek petri kabına bırakılmış ve içerisine unbiti bireyleri aktarılmıştır. Uygulamadan 1, 3, 5 ve 7 gün sonra canlı ve ölü bireyler sayılmış ve yüzde ölüm oranları belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma Isparta Uygulamalı Bilimler Üniversitesi, Ziraat Fakültesi, Bitki Koruma Bölümü bünyesinde yer alan, 25±1°C sıcaklık ve %60±5 nispi nem ve 16:8 aydınlatma koşullarına sahip iklim kabinlerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda elde edilen verilere göre yağların en yüksek dozu ve 7. gün sonundaki ölüm oranlarının sırasıyla %100, %100, %76 ve %84 olduğu gözlenmiştir. Çalışmadan çıkan sonuçlar değerlendirildiğinde uygulaması yapılan kekik yağının fumigant etkisinin diğerlerine göre daha yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir.
