ABSTRACT
The insecticidal efficiency of Ag-loaded 4A-zeolite (ZAg) and its formulations with Rosmarinus
officinalis essential oil (RO) was evaluated against Sitophilus oryzae (L.) and Rhyzopertha
dominica (F.). For comparison, different rates of ZAg (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 g ⋅ kg–1
wheat) were used solely and in a combination with LC50 concentrations of RO. Mortality
was assessed after 7, 14, and 21 days of insect exposure to treated wheat. The progeny production
was also evaluated. The use of ZAg accomplished a complete mortality (100%) on
S. oryzae and 96.67% on R. dominica as well as 100% mortality of progeny against the two
insect species after the longest exposing duration (21 days), at the highest rate (1 g ⋅ kg–1).
On the other hand, the complete mortalities of ZAg formulations on S. oryzae were obtained
after 14 d of treatment with F1 formulation (0.605 g ⋅ kg–1 RO + 0.25 g ⋅ kg–1 ZAg) and after
7 days with the other tested formulations. In addition, the complete mortality on R. dominica
was obtained only by F8 (0.059 g ⋅ kg–1 RO + 1 g ⋅ kg–1 ZAg) formulation after 14 days
of treatment. Concerning the efficiency of the examined formulations on the progeny of
S. oryzae, F1 (0.605 g ⋅ kg–1 RO + 0.25 g ⋅ kg–1 ZAg) and F2 (0.605 g ⋅ kg–1 RO + 0.5 g ⋅ kg–1 ZAg)
formulations recorded 100% mortality. In addition, F3 (0.605 g ⋅ kg–1 RO + 0.75 g ⋅ kg–1 ZAg)
and F4 (0.605 g ⋅ kg–1 RO + 1 g ⋅ kg–1 ZAg) formulations suppressed the progeny production.
Furthermore, the complete mortality of R. dominica progeny was obtained with
F7 (0.059 g ⋅ kg–1 RO + 0.75 g ⋅ kg–1 ZAg) and F8 (0.059 g ⋅ kg–1 RO + 1 g ⋅ kg–1 ZAg)
formulations. ZAg, especially its formulations with R. officinalis oil, had potential effects
against two stored-product insects. F1 and F8 formulations could be treated efficiently on
S. oryzae and R. dominica, respectively.
