Özet:
ABSTRACT The red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) has a particular importance as a negative factor affecting both the quality and quantity of stored grains and food products. In the present study, to investigate the possibility of controlling this pest using environmentally friendly natural materials, a series of laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficiency of peppermint oil and alcoholic (methanolic) peppermint extract against the different stages of the red flour beetle. The results of this study showed that the peppermint (Mentha piperita) oil treatments at all concentrations used (8, 10 or 12%) were significantly effective resulting in remarkable individual mortality of the T. castaneum. The mortality range changed from 36 to 80% in third larva instar and from 40 to 94% in adult stages by spray method. The treatment of the peppermint methanol leaf extract at the highest concentration (13000 ppm) led to larva mortality up to 87% after 7 days of treatment. Peppermint oil showed insecticidal effect against the third instar larvae of the red flour beetle, especially where sprayed at the highest concentration of 12%. Hoever the lower concentrations of 8% and 10% of the oil did not differ much from the control. The results of this study showed that the larvae mortality increased as the mint oil inncreases in the feed provided to the insect, especially at highest concentration of 12%, which recorded a mortality rate of 82% in 3rd instar larvae and 95% adults mortality. This study confirmed the posobility of using mint essential oil at relatively low concentrations as environmentally friendly poroduct in controlling thered flour beetle T. castaneum.
