HIGHLIGHTS
- Five botanical powders were admixed with Spintor® and evaluated as toxicants against Tribolium castaneum.
- Citrus species admixed with spintor and applied at 500 mg/kg killed higher T. castaneum than what was observed in the mixture with other plants.
- Admixing spintor with any of the Citrus powders {at 1:1 (w/w)} applied at 500 mg/kg seed is recommended.

ABSTRACT
Postharvest insect pests constitute major threats to food security because they cause
qualitative and quantitative damage to agricultural produce. Therefore, eco-friendly and
cost-effective measures should be used for their management. In this study, five botanical
powders (Trema orientalis and Crataeva religiosa leaves; and Citrus tangelo, Citrus maxima
and Citrus aurantifolia peels) were admixed with Spintor® [1.25 active ingredient (a.i.)
mg · kg–1] and evaluated as toxicants against Tribolium castaneum. Each botanical powder
and spintor was solely applied at 1000 mg · kg–1 millet seeds. Spintor-botanical powder
mixtures admixed at a ratio of 1 : 1 (w/w) were applied at 500 and 1000 mg · kg–1,
corresponding to 0.313 and 0.625 a. i. mg · kg–1 for spintor in the mixtures, respectively.
On the 14th day of exposure, the Citrus species admixed with spintor and applied at
500 mg · kg–1 evoked significantly (p < 0.05) higher percentage mortality (72.22–90.28%)
than what was observed in the mixture of spintor with T. orientalis (22.08%) or the mixture
of spintor with C. religosa (17.92%) applied at 500 mg · kg–1. There was a significant difference
(p < 0.05) in the Kaplan-Meier estimates of the treatments against the insects. The
time required to kill 50% of the assayed insects (LT50) when Citrus species were admixed
with spintor at 500 mg · kg–1 (10 days) was shorter than 14 days observed in the mixture of
spintor with T. orientalis or C. religiosa. Therefore, admixing spintor with any of the Citrus
powders [at 1 : 1 (w/w)] applied at 500 mg · kg–1 seed is recommended for the protection of
millet seeds against T. castaneum.
