Fumigant Toxicity of Some Volatile Oils Belonging to Apiaceae Plants against Tetranychus urticae Koch
|
|
| Abstract |
The Fumigant toxicity of five volatile oils from family Apiaceae were investigated against red spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch as a suggested approach for controlling mites in greenhouses. Results showed that vapor of cumin (Cuminum cyminum Linn.) seeds oil revealed the most potent efficiency against all tested stages of mites, its LC50 values were 3.4, 2.6 and 4.2 μl/l (oil/air), against adult females, protonymphs and eggs, respectively. Parsley (Petroselinum sativum L.) seed oil revealed the poorest efficiency, its LC50 values were 9.4, 7.0 and 12.6 μl/l, against adult females, protonymphs and eggs, respectively. While coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) seeds, parsley (Petroselinum sativum L.) herb and coriander herb oils came in-between. It was also observed that protonymphs was the most susceptible stage and eggs was the most resistance stage. A significant reduction in oviposition period and number of deposited eggs was observed for the survived mites, after exposing protonymphs to LC50 concentration of all tested oils.
