Effect of Some Spices on the Adults of Red Flour Beetle Triboliumcastaneum (Herbst) (Coleopteran: Tenbrionidae)
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aim to investigate the insecticidal and the repellency effects of three plants Punicagranatum, Ouercusinfectoria and zingiberofficinale powders on adults against the red flour beetles Tribiumcastaneum and estimating the percentage of the insecticidal effect for the following concentrations 0.0, 3, 5, 10, 15%g w/w with thin six days, and the percentage of the repellency effect for the same concentrations after (24) hours. The results showed no significant insecticidal and repellent effects of plants powder between wheat and barley treatments; incects food however were highly significant differences among concentrations of plant powders of treatments.
Also result showed excellence effect of Zingiberofficinale powder at concentration %15g for repellency effect with value %9.024while the value for Ouercusinfectoria and Punicagranatum powders at the same concentration were %7.899 , %6.711 respectively, as well as insecticidal effect for concentration %15g are %8.616, %7.122, %4.912 Zingiberofficinale , Ouercusinfectoria and Punicagrantum powder respectively
