Abstract

Considering that some bioactive compounds are more soluble in ethanol than in water, we tried to evaluate the bioactivity of the ethanolic extracts of Alibertia edulis, Alibertia intermedia and Alibertia sessilis leaves at concentrations of 1 and 3% on the biological characteristics of parental and F1 generations of Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae). Thus, the ethanolic extracts of Alibertia edulis, Alibertia intermedia and Alibertia sessilis were tested on the biological characteristics of P. xylostella in the parental generation and their effects on the F1 generation. In general, the species tested showed significant results on the biological characteristics of P. xylostella. Pupal weight was affected by all plant species. A. edulis extracts reduced egg survival on the parental and F1 generation of P. xylostella while in F1 generation reduced the longevity of females. Larval duration, pupal weight and survival of eggs on parental generation were reduced by A. intermedia extracts.

Zusammenfassung

In Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass einige bioaktive Verbindungen in Ethanol besser löslich sind als in Wasser, wurde in der vorliegenden Studie versucht, die Wirksamkeit des ethanolischen Blattextrakts von drei Arten der Gattung Alibertia auf die Fortpflanzung und das Wachstum der Kohlmotte Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) zu analysieren. Untersucht wurde die Wirkung von 1 %- und 3 %-igen Lösungen des ethanolischen Blatterextrakts der Arten Alibertia edulis (Rich.) A. Rich., Alibertia intermedia (Mart.) und Alibertia sessilis (Vell.) K. Schum. auf Parental- und F1-Generationen von P. xylostella. Im Allgemeinen konnten signifikante Einflüsse aller drei getesteten Pflanzenarten auf die biologischen Eigenschaften von P. xylostella festgestellt werden. Das Puppengewicht wurde von allen Pflanzenarten beeinflusst. Unter Anwendung von A.-edulis-Extrakten sank die Lebenserwartung der weiblichen Tiere der F1-Generation und verminderte das Überleben der Eier der Eltern- und F1-Generation von P. xylostella. Die Lebenserwartung der Larven, das Puppengewicht und das Überleben der Eier bei der Elterngeneration wurden durch A.-intermedia-Extrakte verringert.
