Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Malathion showed the highest potential for adult mortality of Tribolium castaneum as a fumigant, followed by carvone, yucca extract, cuminaldehyde, linalool and 1,8-cineole.
- Observation The LC50 values after 72 hours were 0.05, 331.5, 365.1, 372.2, 460 and 467.5 mg per 1000 cm-2 for malathion, carvone, yucca extract, cuminaldehyde, linalool and 1,8-cineole, respectively.
- Association The tested compounds significantly affected acetylcholinesterase, alpha-amylase and alkaline phosphatase activities in the red flour beetle.
- Intervention effect Treated wheat grains showed no significant reduction in weight compared with untreated healthy grains.
- Association The tested substances, especially as fumigants, showed a high ability to control adult mortality and offspring production of Tribolium castaneum.
- Recommendation 1,8-cineole used as a fumigant can be considered an effective alternative to control the red flour beetle.
