摘要
Postembryonic development and adult emergence of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) were adversely affected in varying degrees when its larval stage was reared on wheat flour treated separately (at concentrations of 0.001-1.0%) with one of the following commercially available extracts: roots of both sweetflag, Acorus calamus Linn. and java devil pepper, Rauwolfia serpentina Benth ex Kurz, fruit cortex of soap nut, Sapindus trifoliatus Linn. and gum of Indian Myrrh Commiphora mukul Jacq. A marked decline in the reproductive potential, in terms of female fecundity and egg hatchability was observed when the extracts were applied topically or administered orally through diet.
