“…According to the intensity of repellency the results could be arranged in the order: stem bark >seed> root wood > leaf > stem wood and in all the cases significant differences were obtained. Our results are in agreement with similar works of McDonald et al (1970), Khan (1981), Talukder and Howse (1995), Hebbalkar et al (1992) and Pugazhvendan et al (2012). Abdullah et al (2011) assessed the mortality and repellency of the chloroform extracts of different parts of Urena sinuata on T. castaneum adults.…”

Context: Repellency test can play an important role in special environmental conditions. Objectives: The main objective of this study was to make a standard protocol to control the pest by screening the test materials using adult beetles by repellency test to see whether or not the extracts contain any potential to repel the stored grain pest. Materials and Methods:The experiment was conducted in choice chamber, which was divided by half filter paper discs (Whatman No. 40, diameter 9 cm). One half of the filter paper was loaded with untreated (control) and the other half was loaded with the extract of A. augusta. All the CHCl3 extracts were separately applied onto each of the half-discs and allowed to dry out in the air for 10 mins. Each treated half-disc was then attached lengthwise, edge-to-edge, to a control half-disc with adhesive tape and placed in petri dishes. The orientation of the same was changed in the replicates to avoid the effects of any external directional stimulus affecting the distribution of the test insects Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). Ten adult insects were released in the middle of each of the filter-paper circles and each test was replicated five times. Results: All the test extracts of seed, leaves, root wood, stem bark and stem wood of A. augusta collected in chloroform showed repellent activity against adult beetles of T. castaneum at dose levels of 314.540, 157.270, 78.635, 39.318, 19.659 and, 9.831 µg/cm 2 on filter paper. According to the intensity of repellency the results could be arranged in the order: stem bark >seed> root wood > leaf > stem wood and in all the cases significant differences were obtained. Conclusion:The present results revealed that A. augusta extracts can be used as a reduced risk repellent compound in the grain and cereal stores to manage the population of T. castaneum. The results also seen to be encouraging when there is a greater need for environment-friendly pesticides then ever before.

“…Dwivedi and Shekhawat [32] reported that acetone extract of Emblica officinalis, Datura alba, Ziziphus jujuba and petroleum ether extract of Ziziphus jujuba exhibited 88.66, 77.58, 77.55 and 66.22 percent repellency against Trogoderma granarium (Everts) respectively. Acetone seed extract of Aphanamixis pofystachya showed cent percent repellent effects on red flour beetles [29]. Jovanovic et al [27] reported that ethanol extracts of Urtica dioica and Taraxacum officinale showed 99.4 and 98.8% repellency respectively after 48 h; The ethanol extract of Achilloa milletolium provided 79.1% repellency.…”

“…Similarly, Liu et al [28] reported that hexane extract of Evodia nutaecarpa, Artemisia argyi and Quisqualis indica killed T. castaneum. Talukder and Howse [29] reported that ethanol extracts of Aphanamix polystachya Wall and Parker produced insecticidal activity against T. castaneum. The fruit diethyl ether extract had LC 50 values of 39.19, 44.13, 61.10 µL/L and LC 99 124.58, 171.72 and 183.95 µL/L against C. maculatus, S. oryzae and T. Castaneum respectively, followed by hexane and methanol extracts.…”

Fumigant toxicity and repellent activity of Toddalia asiatica (L.) Lam. (Rutaceae) leaf and fruit extracts were screened against Callosobruchus maculatus (F.), Sitophilus oryzae (L.) and Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) adults. All the three solvent extracts of leaf and fruits recorded mortality and repellency against the three tested insects in a concentration dependent manner. C. maculatus was the most susceptible pest to the treatments. Lethal concentrations for 50 percent mortality (LC 50 ) of C. maculatus, S. oryzae and T. castaneum were recorded as 39.19, 44.13 and 61.10 µL/L, respectively. Diethyl ether fruit extract exhibited 100% repellent activity against C. maculatus and S. oryzae and 92% against T. castaneum adults at 20 µL concentration. These results suggested that Diethyl ether fruit extract of T. asiatica can be used as an ecofriendly fumigant and repellent against C. maculatus, S. oryzae and T. castaneum.

“…The average of the counts was converted to percent repulsion (PR) using the formula, PR = (Nc-5) × 20; where, Nc was the average hourly observation of insects on the untreated half of the disc [18,19]. A general concentration for each of the extracts (Pet.…”

Petroleum ether (Pet. ether), chloroform (CHCl 3 ) and methanol (CH 3 OH) extracts of the aerial parts of Abutilon hirtum (Lam.) Sweet were subjected to dose-mortality against the stored grain pest Callosobruchus chinensis (L.), cytotoxicity against brine Shrimp Artemia salina L. nauplii and repellent activity against adult beetles of Tribolium castaneum (Hbst. extract showed significant result at 1% level of significance (P < 0.01), while the CH 3 OH extract showed moderate repellency at 5% level of significance (P < 0.05), but the Pet. ether extract didn't show any significant repellent activity.
