 en Effectiveness of botanical extracts from ten plants on mortality and larval repellency of Rhynchophorus palmarum check for this species in other resources L., an insect pest of the Peach palm Bactris gasipaes check for this species in other resources Kunth in Amazonian Peru

Abstract

Pest resistance to chemical insecticides has grown in recent years, which is the motive for the search for alternative methods, such as plants with larvicidal activity. The objective of this research was to evaluate mortality and larval repellency of Rhynchophorus palmarum check for this species in other resources L. (Curculionidae), a pest of the Peach palm Bactris gasipaes check for this species in other resources Kunth to ten plants with biocide potential: india heliotrope ( Heliotropium indicum check for this species in other resources L., Boraginaceae), angels' trumpets (Brugmansia sp., Solanaceae), wandering jew ( Tradescantia zebrina check for this species in other resources Hort. ex Bosse, Commelinaceae), nettles-purge ( Jathropa curcas check for this species in other resources L., Euphorbiaceae), soapberry ( Paullinia clavigera check for this species in other resources Schltdl., Sapindaceae), red spurge ( Euphorbia cotinifolia check for this species in other resources L., Euphorbiaceae), annato ( Bixa orellana check for this species in other resources , Bixaceae), golden shower ( Cassia fistula check for this species in other resources L., Fabaceae), birthwort fruit ( Aristolochia pilosa check for this species in other resources Kunth, Aristolochiaceae) and pareira ( Chondrodendron tomentosum check for this species in other resources Ruiz & Pavon, Menispermaceae). Bioassays with R. palmarum were performed at 1, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h exposure, employing 660 larvae under laboratory conditions and aqueous botanical extracts of the plants at a 1:3 (w/v) ratio. At 24 h exposure, the highest mortality percentage of R. palmarum was observed with birthwort fruit (73.30%: liquefied leaves and stems), wandering jew (70%: liquefied leaves and stems) and pareira (60%: wood and bark in decoction). In the case of repellency, the highest effects were found in birthwort fruit (80%), pareira (73.30%) and wandering jew (71.70%). In addition, nettles-purge (liquefied seeds) produced only 3.3% mortality but significantly 55% repellency. The possibility of employing these botanical extracts in integrated management of R. palmarum is analyzed.

Resumen

La resistencia de las plagas a los insecticidas químicos se ha incrementado en los últimos años, motivo por el que se buscan métodos alternativos, como extractos de plantas con actividad larvicida. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar el efecto sobre la mortalidad y repelencia de larvas de Rhynchophorus palmarum check for this species in other resources L. (Curculionidae), plaga del pijuayo Bactris gasipaes check for this species in other resources Kunth, de diez plantas con potencial biocida: ucullucuysacha ( Heliotropium indicum check for this species in other resources L., Boraginaceae), floripondio (Brugmansia sp., Solanaceae), oreja de tigre ( Tradescantia zebrina check for this species in other resources Hort. ex Bosse, Commelinaceae), piñon blanco ( Jathropa curcas check for this species in other resources L., Euphorbiaceae), sacha yoco ( Paullinia clavigera check for this species in other resources Schltdl., Sapindaceae), yuquilla ( Euphorbia cotinifolia check for this species in other resources L., Euphorbiaceae), achiote ( Bixa orellana check for this species in other resources L., Bixaceae), retama común ( Cassia fistula check for this species in other resources L., Fabaceae), huancahuisacha ( Aristolochia pilosa check for this species in other resources Kunth, Aristolochiaceae) y curare ( Chondrodendron tomentosum check for this species in other resources Ruiz & Pavon, Menispermaceae). Los bioensayos con R. palmarum se realizaron a 1, 4, 8, 12 y 24 h, usando 660 larvas bajo condiciones de laboratorio, empleando extractos botánicos acuosos mayormente a la proporción 1:3 (p/v). A 24 h de exposición, los mayores porcentajes de mortalidad de R. palmarum se presentaron con huancahuisacha (73,30%: hojas y tallo licuados), oreja de tigre (70%: hojas y tallo licuados) y curare (60%: madera y corteza en decocción). En el caso de la repelencia, los mayores efectos se encontraron para huancahuisacha (80%), curare (73,30%) y oreja de tigre (71,70%). En adición, piñon blanco (semillas licuadas) produjó sólo 3,3% de mortalidad y significativamente un 55% de repelencia. Se analizan las posibilidades de empleo de estos extractos botánicos en el manejo integrado de R. palmarum.
