Abstract
Lasioderma serricorne (F) is a perilous pest of stored goods. The utilization of botanical extracts is considered the most secure and eco-friendly approach for managing this insect/pest. This research investigated the impact of seven different plant species on L. serricorne, focused on factors such as fecundity, developmental time from egg to adult, growth index, incubation period, adult emergence, weight loss, repellency, as well as contact and fumigant toxicity. The L. serricorne showed significantly lowest fecundity (0.673±0.106), lowest growth index (-0.846±0.431), longest incubation duration (mean 1.785±0.004) on Parthenium hysterophorus, whereas L. serricorne had the highest fecundity (2.371±0.002), highest growth index (1.376±0.052), and shortest incubation duration (1.500±0.012) on Nigella sativa. At adult stage, essential oils (EOs) of some plants exhibited higher repellant effect on cigarette beetle after 48 hours for example, P. hysterophorus (RD50 = 2.406%), D. vescosa (RD50 = 1.649%), and V. jatmansi (RD50 = 1.137%). The maximum contact toxicity at the adult stage of beetle was observed on P. hysterophorus after 24h exposure (LD50 = 3.762 µl/ml insect), followed by D. vescosa and V. jatamansi (LD50 = 3.551 and 2.678, respectively). P. hysterophorus provided the highest fumigant toxicity to beetle after 24h exposure (LC50 = 4.262 µl/ml air), followed by D. vescosa and V. jatamansi (LC50 = 3.669; 3.274, respectively). The cigarette beetle was least hazardous to N. sativa, with just 1.295 mortality noted at 50% of the utilized concentration (LC50). The P. hysterophorus essential oil exhibits the best repellency contact and fumigation toxicity against L. serricorne adults, supporting the potential for commercial use of plant essential oils, as environmentally friendly insect control agents.
