Callosobruchus maculatus is the most pernicious pest of stored grain worldwide. Even though synthetic insecticides are commonly used to eliminate this insect pest, the negative effect of this pest management method on humans and the environment raises concern among people around the world. This study was done to identify the active ingredient of essential oils in Eucalyptus citriodora and Syzygium aromaticum and to evaluate the effectiveness of those essential oils in controlling C. maculatus. The results of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis indicated that the essential oil extracted from the leaves of S. aromaticum are rich in Eugenol and β caryophyllene as much as 81% and 14.65% consecutively, while E. citriodora oil contains 86% of Citronella. According to the bioassay results, increasing the essential oil concentration from 1% to 3% resulted in a significant increase in insect mortality rate, oviposition deterrence, and fumigant toxicity. Additionally, S. aromaticum has significantly shown a higher insecticidal performance compared to E. citriodora. However, there are no synergistic effects observed on the use of essential oil of both plant species on C. maculatus. These results suggest that S. aromaticum and E. citriodora essential oils could be potential candidates as a natural insecticide in managing C. maculatus in stored products.

PlumX Metrics

PlumX Metrics provide insights into the ways people interact with individual pieces of research output (articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and many more) in the online environment. Examples include, when research is mentioned in the news or is tweeted about. Collectively known as PlumX Metrics, these metrics are divided into five categories to help make sense of the huge amounts of data involved and to enable analysis by comparing like with like.
