The 45 different extracts were pepared from the 13 African species of plants. The plants (from Zaire flora) belonged to the Meliaceae, Asteraceae, Simaroubaceae, Fabaceae and Acanthaceae families. Their antifeeding effect against four species of stored product insect pest was investigated. As a testing models, adults of Sitophilus granarius L., and Tribolium confusum Duv., and also larvae of Trogoderma granarium Ev., and Tribolium confusum Duv. were used in the experiments. The 12 most effective plant deterrents (=antifeedants) were extracts from Entandrophragma sp., Khaya sp. (Meliaceae); Quassia sp. (Simaroubaceae), and Vernonia sp. (Asteraceae). | |
