Mortality, Sitophilus zeamais, repellencyAbstract
Damage to the environment, resistance to pests, insecticides and harm to the health of the produce are observed by the use of chemical products to control pests in stored grains. In order to minimize these problems, alternatives are being experimented withthe use of botanical insecticides. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of Baccharis dracunculifolia, Schinopsis brasiliensisand Piptadenia colubrinain hydrolate form and Piptadenia colubrina and Varronia globosa in powder form on Sitophilus zeamaisin maize. Experiments were set up using powder at the following concentrations: 2.0, 4.0, 10.0 and 20.0mg g-1of grainsin 5 replicates of each treatment and 20 insect adults. Mortality was evaluated in the period from 15 to 45 days. The effects of hydrolates were also evaluated, where they were obtained through the hydrodistillation process in the Clevenger apparatus, a 4-way olfactometer was used to evaluate the attractiveness and/or repellency. Finally, the powder originatingfrom V.globosa causes mortality of up to 100% in 10.0and 20.0mg g-1of grainsand P.colubrina causes the same effect in 2.0 and 4.0mg g-1of grains. B. dracunculifolia and S. brasiliensishydrolate on S. zeamais, at a concentration of 10 μL (p<5%) causes repellent effect and P. colubrina, attractive effect.
