Impairment of reproduction in the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Col., Tenebrionidae) due to larval feeding on triflumuron‐treated diet

Abstract: The larvae of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) of different ages were exposed to various concentrations viz., 0.0001, 0.001 and 0.01 ppm of triflumuron up to pupation. The adults were allowed to feed on untreated diet. The preoviposition period, fecundity, egg viability and incubation period of the eggs laid were studied. Triflumuron significantly lengthened the preoviposition and incubation periods (P < 0.001). Fecundity and egg viability were also reduced (P < 0.001) due to the treatment. Both the strains were a… Show more

“…These compounds have the ability to penetrate the insect's cuticle (Schneiderman, 1972) and have chemosterilant activity in females (Heller et al, 1992) through stomach and contact (Fox, 1990). Several studies have been conducted for evaluating the potential of other insect growth regulators (juvenile hormone analogues and chitin synthesis inhibitors) against different stored-grain insect pests (Elek, 1998a, b;Parween et al, 2001;Abo-Elghar et al, 2004;Arthur et al, 2009Sagheer et al, 2011Sagheer et al, , 2012Yasir et al, 2012Yasir et al, , 2019Trostanetsky et al, 2015;Ali et al, 2016Ali et al, , 2017Ali et al, , 2018Malik et al, 2017;Arthur & Hartzer, 2018).…”

“…TFM is nowadays used against both stored products pests and disease vectors [3848], strongly affecting insect reproduction by disruption of oviposition and/or eclosion of eggs laid by treated females. Its ovicidal effect is achieved either by direct application onto eggs [39, 49, 50] or by treatment of insects at any life stage [25, 51–53].…”

“…However, the prohibited oviposition efficiency, in the current study, may be explained as a result of inhibition of ovarian DNA synthesis or the interference of Apitoxin with vitellogenesis in G. mellonella via certain biochemical processes. In addition, Apitoxin might exert a reverse action to those exerted by the ecdysteroids which stimulate the neurosecretory cells to release a myotropic ovulation hormone (Parween et al, 2001).…”
