- W4319318054 abstract "Synthetic pesticides are frequently and unwisely used to control cabbage insect pests by smallholder farmers despite the environmental pollution and insect pests’ resistance development. This work assessed the insecticidal efficacy of botanicals from Tephrosia vogelii, Croton dichogamus and Syzygium aromaticum against cabbage insect pests in Northern Tanzania. Firstly, larvicidal action of extracts against Crocidolomia binotalis and Plutella xylostella larvae was assessed in the laboratory. Secondly, insecticidal and synergistic actions of aqueous extracts against cabbage insect pests were assessed in field experiment. Lastly, chemical compounds in S. aromaticum and in C. dichogamus were determined. The larvicidal activities of extracts were assessed for mortality of ten larvae into 9 cm Petri-dishes for 24 hours of exposure. Chlorpyrifos and acetone were used as a positive and negative control, respectively. The insecticidal efficacy of 10%, 5% and 1% w/v of T. vogelii, C. dichogamus and S. aromaticum aqueous extracts and their mixture (2.5% and 5%) was assessed against cabbage insect pests in the field. Chlorpyrifos was used as a positive control, and water and water plus soap were used as negative controls. The GC-MS was used for compounds identification in C. dichogamus and in S. aromaticum. Results from the study revealed that S. aromaticum extract (16, 24 and 32 mg/mL), T. vogelii (24 and 32 mg/mL) and C. dichogamus (32 mg/mL) gave 100 ± 0.0% mortality of C. binotalis larvae after 24 hours of exposure. Moreover, S. aromaticum extract (8, 16, 24 and 32 mg/mL), T. vogelii (16, 24 and 32 mg/mL) and C. dichogamus (32 mg/mL) gave 100 ± 0.0% mortality of P. xylostella larvae after 24 hours of exposure. The aqueous extracts from those plants significantly (P ≤ 0.05) lowered the population of cabbage insect pests compared with negative controls. The 5% of aqueous extract from mixed plants possessed significantly (P ≤ 0.01) lower population of cabbage insect pests in both wet seasons compared with other concentrations. Then, it was followed by 10% of S. aromaticum, C. dichogamus and T. vogelii aqueous extracts and 1% and 5% of aqueous extracts of S. aromaticum, C. dichogamus and T. vogelii and 2.5% of aqueous extracts from the mixed plants significantly lowered the population of insect pests compared with negative controls in both seasons. The compounds identified in S. aromaticum, at higher percent were Eugenol (52.66%); Eugenol acetate (20.46%) and β-caryophyllene (7.52%). Moreover, the compounds identified in C. dichogamus at higher percent were 4,6-Bis (4-chloro-3-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy)-2-pyrimidinol (25.08%); Cholestan-6-en-3-ol (18.63%) and 1-Heptadecene (7.34%). These compounds could be responsible for larvicidal and insecticidal activities against cabbage ii insect pests. Therefore, these plants can be recommended to be used by smallholder farmers for cabbage insect pest control at higher concentrations and development of insecticides." @default.
