Larvicidal and Growth Regulatory of Gum Resin Powders from Aloe Vera, Astragalus Sarcocolla, Commefora Myrrha and Ferula Assa-Foetida L against Trogoderma Granarium Everts
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
The Persistence Of The Toxicity And Growth Regulatory Effects Of The Gum Resin Powders Of Aloe Vera, Astragalus Sarcocolla, Commefora Myrrha And F. Assa-Foetida Were Tested Against Fifth Instar Trogoderma Granarium Everts Larvae. The Concentrations 1, 0.1, 0.3 And 0.5% G/G Of Each The Gum Resin Powders Were Mixed With 30 G Of Wheat Grains. As Expected, The 1% Concentration For A. Sarcocolla, Which Was The Highest Of All The Treatments, Caused 1.7, 3.3 And 16.7% Mortality At 10 Day Of Treatment For F. Assa-Foetida, A. Vera, And C. Myrrha, Respectively. All The Treatments Exhibited Larvicidal And Pupicidal Efficiency At 100% At 35 Day Of Treatment, Except For The 1% And 0.1% Concentrations Of The F Assa-Foetida Gum Resin Powder, Which Had Pupicidal Activity At 35% Mortality And Inhibited Pupation By 93.3% And At 35 Days Of Treatment Compared To The 98% Success Of Larvae Pupation In The Control Treatment At 10 Day Of Observation. All Treatments Led To Longevity In The 5th Instar Larvae For A Period Of More Than 25 Days Compared To The Larvae In The Control Treatment. There Was An Abnormality In The Shape, Sluggishness, Behavioural And Neurological Disorders In The Larvae Treated.
