Other claims from this paper (14)
- Intervention effect Mortality of Tribolium castaneum adults increased with increasing concentration of plant extracts and exposure time.
- Intervention effect Swamp paper bark extracts gave higher Tribolium castaneum mortality than bald cypress extracts.
- Intervention effect Petroleum ether extract of swamp paper bark was the most potent extract, with an LC25 of 1.65%.
- Intervention effect Petroleum ether extract of swamp paper bark was the most potent extract, with an LC50 of 2.59%.
- Intervention effect Petroleum ether extract of swamp paper bark was the most potent extract, with an LC95 of 7.79% (w/w).
- Observation The bio-residual activity of the LC95 of petroleum ether extract continued up to the 13th week against Tribolium castaneum adults.
- Intervention effect LC25 and LC50 treatments significantly reduced the number of deposited eggs of Tribolium castaneum.
- Intervention effect LC25 and LC50 treatments completely reduced hatchability and progeny of Tribolium castaneum (100%).
- Intervention effect LC50 of petroleum ether extract increased carbohydrate and protein content in Tribolium castaneum adults compared with control.
- Intervention effect LC50 of petroleum ether extract decreased lipid content in Tribolium castaneum adults compared with control.
- Intervention effect Petroleum ether extract at LC95 caused adverse effects on wheat grain germination at initial time and after storage.
- Mechanism Some compounds of the petroleum ether extract may be responsible for the insecticidal action of the plant extract.
- Observation Methyl eugenol was the major component of the petroleum ether extract of swamp paper bark.
- Recommendation Petroleum ether extract of swamp paper bark could serve as an alternative to synthetic insecticides for protecting stored wheat.
