| Abstract | Certain compounds of plants such as essential oils, with insecticidal properties have been considered as alternatives to chemical pesticides for pest control. This study intended to determine chemical composition of essential oil extracted from Aegle marmelos (L.) Correa., and to evaluate its insecticidal activity against stored-product insect pest, Tribolium castaneum Herbst (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) adults. Fresh leaves of the plant were extracted using essential oil stream distillation apparatus and analyzed by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Experiment was performed under completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 replications. It was carried out at 30?2?C and 70?5% relative humidity in darkness. Insecticidal activity was investigated on adult of T. castaneum by using impregnated filter paper test with 5 concentrations of essential oil including 0%, 4%, 8%, 12%, 16%, and 20% respectively. Data of deaths were recorded after treating at 24 to 168 hours. Total of 120 components were identified and the main compounds in the essential oil of A. marmelos were 2,7-dimethyl-3-octen-5-yne (22.63%), limonene (12.29%), santolinatriene (11.42%), p-mentha-1,5,8-triene (7.97%), 2-hexenal, (e)- (7.34%), beta-pinene (4.38%), beta-myrcene (3.26%), beta-phellandrene (2.74%), ethanol, 2-methoxy-, acetate (2.58%), alpha-phellandrene (2.01%), beta-elemene (1.98%) and delta-elemene (1.24%). Insecticidal activity presented 20% of A. marmelos essential oil at 120 hours had the highest effective against T. castaneum when compared with acetone as control. The results of this study indicate that essential oil of A. marmelos leaves have potential to be used in the control of T. castaneum. |
