“…The escape indexes probably indicate that the slugs were irritated by both substances and were trying to escape from an environment detrimental to their survival. The results of the feeding experiment (Table 1) support the findings of Birkett et al (2004) that alkaloids exhibit antifeedant properties towards slugs. The effects of both Norharman and the L-N-methylcrotonosine/linearisine mixture point favourably to their use in agriculture/plant protection as repellents or for lowering damage caused by slugs.…”

Abstract:The toxic effects of the alkaloids, Norharman and a mixture of L-N-Methylcrotonosine/Linearisine (M/L mixture), on two organisms, Gambusia puncticulata and Veronicella sloanei were determined. The effect of the alkaloids on the fecundity of Thiara granifera was also investigated. Norharman was harmless to G. puncticulata but the M/L mixture inflicted 55.5% mortality on fish populations. The alkaloids had narcotizing, repellent and anti-feedant effects on V. sloanei. The M/L mixture suppressed the development of hatchlings in the brood pouches of T. granifera. Norharman and the M/L mixture reduced the number of hatchlings released from the brood pouches of T. granifera by 60 and 40%, respectively.

RESUMENSe evaluó el efecto biocida de cuatro plantas: culantro Coriandrum sativum L. (Apiaceae), tara Caesalpinia spinosa (Mol.) Kuntze (Fabaceae), amor seco Bidens pilosa L. (Asteraceae) y saúco Sambucus peruviana HBK (Caprifoliaceae) sobre adultos de Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky 1885 (Curculionidae) y Stegobium paniceum (Linnaeus 1761) (Anobiidae) en bioensayos de mortandad bajo condiciones de laboratorio. A las máximas concentraciones empleadas (20 % p/v), los extractos acuosos de C. sativum, C. spinosa, B. pilosa y S. peruviana no mostraron efectos significativos en comparación con el control sobre ambas especies de gorgojos. Sólo los polvos secos de C. sativum produjeron un 25 % de mortandad en S. zeamais, y en cambio, C. sativum ocasionó sobre S. paniceum, un 15 % de mortandad, a las más altas dosis ensayadas (1,6 g ·10 g de maíz -1 ). En adición, al evaluar C. spinosa, bajo infusión acuosa (20 % p/v) sobre S. zeamais se produjo un 17,5 % de mortandad. Sin embargo, ninguna de las cuatro plantas bajo todas las formulaciones evaluadas obtuvo más de 40 % de mortandad en las dos especies de gorgojos en comparación con el control. Se analizan las posibilidades de integración de las plantas biocidas en el control de gorgojos plagas de productos agrícolas almacenados. ABSTRACT The biocide effect of four plants: coriander (Coriandrum sativum L. [Apiaceae]), sping holdback (Caesalpinia spinosa (Mol.) Kuntze [Fabaceae]), hairy beggarticks (Bidens pilosa L. [Asteraceae]) and elderberry (Sambucus peruviana HBK [Caprifoliaceae]), on adults of Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky 1855 (Curculionidae) and Stegobium paniceum (Linnaeus 1761) (Anobiidae) in mortality bioassays at laboratory conditions were evaluated. At the highest concentrations of watery extracts (20 % w/v) used to C. sativum, C. spinosa, B. pilosa and S. peruviana did not show significant effects in comparison to control on both species of weevils. Only dry dusts of C. sativum showed 25 % of mortality of S. zeamais and however C. spinosa produced 15 % of mortality of S. paniceum at the higher concentrations assayed (1.6 g ·10 g of corn -1 ). In addition, when C. spinosa, was evaluated in infusion watery (20 % w/v) on S. zeamais, 17.5 % of mortality was found. However, none of the plants in all formulations employed had more than 40 % mortality on two species of weevils in comparison to control. The possibilities of integration of biocide plants in control of agricultural stored product pests are analyzed.

“…2, 3 Birkett reported only the major volatile antifeedant constituents from C. maculatum. 4 There was a great deal of work performed on the biologically active compounds, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, coumarins, polyacetylenes, vitamins and non-volatile oils, of C. maculatum 1,5,6 but there have been no reports on the steroid content of this plant species. During a routine GC-MS screening of Apiaceae taxa from Serbia, steroid compounds were found to be present in high percentages in the dichloromethane extracts of C. maculatum.…”

The steroid content of Conium maculatum L. (Poison Hemlock), Apiaceae, a well-known weed plant species, was studied herein for the first time. This was achieved by detailed GC-MS analyses of twenty two samples (dichloromethane extracts of different plant organs of C. maculatum at three or four different stages of phenological development, collected from three locations). In total, twenty four different steroids were identified. Six steroids had an ergostane nucleus while the other ones possessed a stigmastane carbon framework. The identity of these compounds was determined by spectral means (MS fragmentation), GC co-injections with authentic standards and chemical transformation (silylation). Steroid compounds were noted to be the main chemical constituents of root extracts (up to 70 %) of this plant species in the last phase of development. The predominant ones were stigmasta-5,22- dien-3β-ol (stigmasterol) and stigmasta-5-en-3β-ol (β-sitosterol). In an attempt to classify the samples, principal component analysis (PCA) and agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) were performed using steroid percentages as variables
