Insecticidal Effect of Some Essential Oils on Larval Survival of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Laboratory Conditions

Abstract

The Mediterranean fruit fly, medfly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a serious pest of many fruits and vegetables. This study was conducted to determine the antifeeding and insecticidal activities of some essential oils extracted from Pelargonium graveolens (Geraniaceae), geranium, and Lavandula intermedia Mill. (Lamiaceae), lavender, Nigella sativa L. (Ranunculaceae) black cumin, and Laurus nobilis L. (Lauraceae), laurel, against second instars of the Medfly on an artificial diet. The essential oils were obtained by Clevenger-type water distillation and a laboratory-reared medfly colony was used in the study. The doses of each tested essential oil were determined by multiplying their specific gravities by applying amounts into the diet and then distributing oil over the diet in a Petri dish having 20 larvae. All experiments were performed under laboratory conditions of 23±1°C, 50% RH, and 16: 8 (L:D) photoperiods. Probit MsChart was used to estimate the LC50 and LC90 values of the tested essential oils. GGE Biplot analyses were created with the larval mortality based on the different essential oil doses. As a result, the highest larval mortality was determined with the addition of laurel and black cumin oils into the diet. The highest mortality was detected in black cumin oil at the lowest concentrations. Based on GGE Biplot analyses, the essential oil of black cumin had larvicidal properties. The results provided fundamental information about the insecticidal and antifeeding properties of the medfly in the laboratory. Further studies are needed to integrate sustainable management programs with natural insecticides against the medfly larvae.

Öz

Akdeniz meyve sineği, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) birçok meyve ve sebzenin ciddi bir zararlısıdır. Bu çalışma, Pelargonium graveolens (Geraniaceae), ıtır, Lavandula intermedia Mill. (Lamiaceae), lavanta, Nigella sativa L. (Ranunculaceae) çörek otu ve Laurus nobilis L. (Lauraceae), defneden izole edilen bazı uçucu yağların yapay besiyeri üzerinde yetiştirilen Akdeniz meyve sineğinin ikinci dönem larvalarına karşı beslenmeyi önleyici ve insektisidal aktivitelerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Uçucu yağlar Clevenger tipi su distilasyon yoluyla elde edildi ve bu çalışmada laboratuvarda yetiştirilen Akdeniz meyve sineği kolonisi kullanıldı. Test edilen her bir uçucu yağın dozu, özgül ağırlıklarının diyete uygulanan miktarı ile çarpılarak belirlendi ve 20 larva içeren Petri kabındaki diyet üzerine dağıtıldı. Tüm deneyler 23±1°C, %50 bağıl nem ve 16:8 (L:D) fotoperiyotlu laboratuvar koşullarında gerçekleştirildi. Test edilen uçucu yağların LC50 ve LC90 değerlerini tahmin etmek için Probit MsChart kullanıldı. GGE Biplot analizleri, farklı uçucu yağ dozlarına dayalı olarak larva ölümleri ile oluşturuldu. Sonuç olarak, en yüksek larva ölümleri, yapay besiyerine defne ve çörek otu yağı ilave edilen grupta belirlendi. En yüksek ölüm, en düşük konsantrasyonlarda çörek otu yağında tespit edildi. GGE Biplot analizlerine göre, çörek otu uçucu yağının larvalarda öldürücü özellikleri bulunmaktadır. Çalışma sonuçları Akdeniz meyve sineğinin laboratuvardaki böcek öldürücü ve beslenmeyi önleyici özellikleri hakkında temel bilgiler sağladı. Akdeniz meyve sineği larvalarına karşı sürdürülebilir yönetim programlarını doğal insektisitlerle entegre etmek için daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır.
