TOPICS
ABSTRACT
The insecticidal effects of
Eucalyptus dundasii
Maiden essential oil was studied on the adults of the lesser grain borer,
Rhyzopertha dominica
(F.), and the saw-toothed grain beetle,
Oryzaephilus surinamensis
(L.). Essential oil was obtained by the hydro-distillation method and essential oil composition was analysed by GC-MS. Chemical analysis indicated that 1,8-cineole (54.15%),
p-cymene
(12.41%),
α-thujene (11.37%), and E-caryophyllene (6.7%) were major constituents. For
R. dominica
and
O. surinamensis, the LC
50
of
E. dundasii
essential oil was 41.69 and 57.92 μl · l–1
of air, respectively. Increasing the concentration of the essential oil and the exposure
time, increased mortality. The durability of fumigant toxicity on
O. surinamensis
adults was higher than on
R. dominica
adults and was
statistically different. Based on the mean of the repellent indexes and the standard deviation,
E. dundasii
essence was repellent for both
insects at 70, 140, and 280 μl · l–1
of air concentrations. Statistical analysis showed that Relative Growth Rate (RGR) in
O. surinamensis
was higher than in R. dominica, and the Relative Consumption Rate (RCR), the Efficiency of Conversion of Ingested food (ECI), and the
Feeding Deterrence Index (FDI) in
O. surinamensis
was lower than in
R. dominica. The many diverse bio-effects of
E. dundasii
essential
oil confirmed that it is a good candidate for management of
R. dominica
and
O. surinamensis.
