Abstract

Essential oil (EO), from Clausena anisata, was evaluated for their efficacy (fumigant and repellent activities) against Sitophilus oryzae. Result revealed that C. anisata showed 82% fumigant toxicity (insect mortality) at 160 μL/L concentration after 24h observation period. C. anisata exhibited LC50 value of 17.84 μL/L concentration for fumigant toxicity. The insect movement behaviour (repellent) was observed in two different concentrations of 10 and 50 μL for a period of 3 h. Maximum repellent activity (− 0.25) was observed at 50 μL/L concentration against S. oryzae after 3-h observation. At 3, 6 and 12 μL/L concentrations of C. anisata oil significantly reduced the protein content and total esterase activity of S. oryzae.
