Evaluation of biopesticide against Sitophilus Oryzue L.

On a worldwide scale, rice is the third most produced agricultural product, therefore insect pest losses in t ice storage might have a considerable influence on food supply for a huge number of people. The Sitophilus oryzae L., is one of the most problematic pests in the tropics. Despite the fact th...

Nur Affiqah Zulkifli On a worldwide scale, rice is the third most produced agricultural product, therefore insect pest losses in t ice storage might have a considerable influence on food supply for a huge number of people. The Sitophilus oryzae L., is one of the most problematic pests in the tropics.

The results revealed that at 15% concentration, the most toxic and repellent effects were observed, followed by 10% and 5%, while insect mortality percentage was found to be directly proportional to time after treatment, and the repellent effect increased proportionally to the level of Aloin extract concentration. Furthermore, the results revealed that 15% concentration had the maximum toxicity and repellency against rice weevil, followed by 10%, and the lowest was found in control (0%) followed by 5% concentration. At the conclusion of the study, we demonstrated that the biopesticide is effective against S. oryzae in terms of mortality and repellency.
