In order to find natural and inexpensive bioinsecticides, the active compound of waste extract from two medicinal plants were analyzed.  Ethanolic extracts of Amomum cardamomum and Zingiber zerumbet were evaluated under laboratory conditions for their repellency against rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae, L.). Four extracts concentration were tested in this research, i.e: 25, 50, 75 and 100%.  Efficacy was measured based on the response of rice weevil in preference tests using Y Olfactometer Tube, then the results were converted into the Percentage Repellency (PR) and Preference Index (PI). The PR data were analyzed using ANOVA, whereas PI values were analyzed descriptively. The result showed that the PR were significantly (LSD test; α> 0.05) and revealed that waste extracts repel the rice weevil at 100% solution.  The highest PR was found at 100% solution in both extracts, however, statistically the repellency of A. cardamomum waste extract was higher than Z. zerumbet’s. Likewise, the PI of both extracts showed negative value at 75 and 100% concentration. This study concluded that extract of A. cardamomum and Z. zerumbet wastes have repellent effect against rice weevil and A. cardamomum repellency is better than Z. zerumbet. The findings of this study can provide a useful information for development of a rice weevil repellent extracted from waste product of medicinal plants that is more economically and environmentally friendly than synthetic insect repellents.

Abstract ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to check whether Carum carvi L. essential oil and L-carvone act on Sitophilus oryzae L. as repellents and/or insecticides, in what concentrations and after what time. ResultsCaraway essential oil and L-carvone the highest repellency showed not in the highest concentrations used in the tests (1%), but in lower concentrations, respectively 0.5% and 0.1%. Caraway essential oil in all used concentrations showed repellent effects on S. oryzae. The highest repellency (60-98%) caused caraway essential oil in concentration 0.5% after 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 h of the research. The highest repellence of L-carvone (16-100%) resulted in concentration 0.1%. The highest mortality of S. oryzae caused 0.5% caraway essential oil.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Pandanus (Pandanus amaryllifolius 20 Roxb.) and Neem (Azadirachta indica) leaves powder on the repellency, mortality, and weight loss 21 of grains due to Sitophilus oryzae. The methodes of this study used a completely randomized design 22 (CRD) with 7 treatments and 4 replications. The results of this study indicate that the best treat- 23 ment in terms of causing repellency was the treatment of 10 grams of pandanus with a percentage 24 of 87.5%, while the best treatment in terms of causing pest mortality and was also able to reduce 25 the risk of rice weight loss due to Sitophilus oryzae was treatment 10 gram of neem with a mortality 26 percentage of 76.25% and weight loss of rice 3.14%. This research showed that neem leaf com- 27 pounds are better in terms of causing mortality, while Pandanus compounds are better in terms of 28 causing mortality of Sitophilus oryzae.

The aim of the study was to check the effect of Carum carvi L. essential oil and L-carvone on the emigration, repellence and mortality of Sitophilus oryzae L. In the experiments with caraway essential oil, concentrations of 0.1%, 0.5% and 1% were used, and concentrations of 0.05, 0.1, 0.5 and 1% were used with L-carvone. We assessed whether, in what concentrations and after what exposure time the substances acted on S. oryzae as repellents and/or insecticides. The laboratory tests were carried out at 29 ± 1 °C with 60 ± 5% relative humidity (RH). The deterrence, mortality and abundance of insects were noted after 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 24 and 48 h. For caraway essential oil and L-carvone, the highest repellency was not shown in the highest concentrations that were used in the tests but in the lower concentrations of 0.5% and 0.1%, respectively. In all used concentrations, caraway essential oil showed repellent effects on S. oryzae. The highest repellency (60–98%) was caused by 0.5% caraway essential oil after 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 h of research and by 0.1% L-carvone (16–100%). The highest mortality of S. oryzae was caused by 0.5% caraway essential oil and 1% L-carvone. L-carvone at a concentration of 0.05% did not cause mortality in S. oryzae. In conclusion, the greatest repellent effects on S. oryzae were caused by lower doses of caraway essential oil and L-carvone. These compounds do not show the normal relationship described in the previous literature on warehouse pests, in which the repellency increased with increasing concentrations of the tested plant material.

During the study, the leaves of two medicinal plants, Polygonum hydropiper and Abrus precatorius were extracted with water, ethanol, methanol and petroleum ether solvents and tested against the rice weevil S. oryzae L. for insecticidal properties. Response varied with plant species. The mortality of adults increased with increasing dose concentrations from 1000 ppm to 5000 ppm each solution, with an exposure time of 72 hours. LC50 values calculated were found to be 15091.436 ppm with water, 5051.534 ppm with ethanol, 5111.063 ppm with methanol and 4305.348 ppm with petroleum ether extracts of P. hydropiper and 9687.292 ppm with water, 6263.849 ppm with ethanol, 4682.683 ppm with methanol and 3222.984 ppm with petroleum ether extracts of Abrus precatorius leaves corresponding their concentrations of the leaf extract solutions at 1000ppm, 2000 ppm, 3000 ppm, 4000 ppm and 5000 ppm respectively. The results of the study showed that methanol and petroleum ether extrcts of P. hydropiper and ethanol, methanol and petroleum ether extracts of A. precatorius showed good toxicity. It appeared that the leaf extracts had some insecticidal activities against S. oryzae adult. J. Biodivers. Conserv. Bioresour. Manag. 2019, 5(2): 107-114
