| description | Contact and fumigant activity of 1,8-cineole,
camphor and eugenol compounds were tested In
laboratory conditions on adult, larvae and pupae of
the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), as
well as their effect on progeny emergence. Positive
results were obtained with contact application for all
three tested compounds and on all three stages of
development of T. castaneum, with the highest activity
of 1,8-cineole, followed by eugenol and camphor. Ingeneral, fumigant activity of all three compounds was
lower in comparison to contact application, with the best
activity of 1,8-cineole, followed by camphor and eugenol
on all three developmental stages of T. castaneum.
However, lower activity was recorded for fumigation of
the space 50% filled with wheat grain for all three tested
compounds on all three stages, with the best activity of
1,8-cineole, followed by camphor and eugenol, whereas
eugenol showed no toxicity to the adult stage. The
activity of 1,8-cineole and eugenol in the space 50%
filled with wheat grain decreased by 3.5 and 32 times,
respectively, whereas the activity of camphor had no
significant difference on the larvae. Toxicity of the tested
compounds on pupae T. castaneum was either lethal or
directly affected to metamorphosis pupae. There were
significant differences observed in the efficacy of the
tested compounds on the gender of the pupae, with the
most markedly differences for 1,8-cineole, followed by
camphor and the minimal for eugenol. Males were more
sensitive to the applied compounds, whereas females
had more deformed units, especially in the fumigation
treatment with camphor. The most tolerant stage on the
contact and fumigant application of all compounds was
the pupae stage. Eugenol and 1,8-cineole had influence
on the reduction of T. castaneum progeny emergence,
whereas camphor had no such effect. Due to a high
potential of 1,8-cineole for the control of the red flour
beetle Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (at all treatments,
for all the tested stages of development), camphor for
the fumigant control of adult (in the empty storages), as
well as of eugenol for contact control (all developmental
stages) and for fumigant application (for the reduction of
progeny), these compounds represent a valuable basis
for creating new active substances as an alternative to
the conventional pest control products. |
