Abstract

The toxicity of essential oils and wood vinegar was tested on stored-product insects that infest rice. The essential oils from 5 plants, lemon grass Cymbopogon citratus Stapf, citronella grass Cymbopogon nardus Linn, pomelo peel Citrus maxima (Burm) Merr, eucalyptus Eucalyptus globulus Labill, and kaffir lime peel Citrus hystrix, were extracted by stream distillation. Raw wood vinegar was purified by filtering. Toxicity to red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum Herbst (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) was evaluated under laboratory conditions using topical application method (contact toxicity) and residual exposure method (fumigant toxicity). Overall, exposure to residual volatiles achieved higher mortality than droplet application. Kaffir lime peel achieved the highest mortality; 60% by topical application and 100% by residual exposure. A lower toxicity was found for lemon grass, citronella grass, eucalyptus and wood vinegar. Thereafter, kaffir lime peel oil extrusion coated onto plastic film that was used for storing packaged rice. Rice was stored in the bags for one month and pest infestations were quantified. The treatments showed no infestation of red flour beetle T. castaneum Herbst. Additional, the treatments showed significant protection against the 2 other stored product insects, including saw-toothed grain beetle, Oryzaephilus surinamensis L and rice weevil Sitophilus oryzae Linn. The results suggest that kaffir lime oil may be useful as a grain protectant against rice-infesting insects when used as a coating for bags made of extrusion film.
