| Abstract |
The toxic effect of wheat grains treated with cinnamon, Cinnamomum zeylanicum bark using different extracts offered to granary weevil, Sitophilus granarius L. was determined. Petroleum ether extract was found to be the most effective. Reproductive potential of treated weevils was strongly affected as the number of egg laid reduction. Progeny were obtained when adults were fed on wheat grains treated with either LCso or LC95 of tested extracts. Treatment with LC95 of extracts protected wheat grains up to seven weeks of storage. All tested extracts caused a few reduction in germination at the initial time, while it was increased at the end of storage period. Treatment with cinnamon reduced the weight loss of insect infestation grains with the granary weevil. Biochemical studies showed that protein and carbohydrate contents were decreased, while total lipids content was increased. Furthermore, the tested extracts caused a decrease in GOT and GPT as compared with control. Petroleum ether extract caused an inhibition in the activity of cholinesterase, while chloroform and acetone extracts increased such activity.
