EFFECT OF BIO - EXTRACTION FOR CONTROLING OF UNDERGROUND TERMITES Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann)
Keywords:
Bio-Extraction, Underground TermitesAbstract
The effect of Bio - extraction for controlling of underground termites Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) by toxicity testing in laboratory were studied. The treatments were Camellia extracts, Camellia seed oil, Tobacco extract, Kaffir lime oil and water (control) were used as treatments. The experiment was conducted by using the factorial in CRD with three replications for each treatment, by the first time during October – November 2020 and the second time during July – August 2021. The results of first period showed that the mortality of the termites after 12 hours spaying with Tobacco extract 10 % (7.23 %) was significantly higher mortality than Camellia extracts 10 % (6.26 %), Tobacco extract 5 % (4.88 %), Camellia seed oil 10 % (3.00 %), Camellia extracts 5 % (2.12 %), Kaffir lime oil 10 % (1.21 %), Camellia seed oil 5 % (0.53 %), Kaffir lime oil 5 % (0.33 %) and water (0.00 %), respectively. After 108 hours spaying, Camellia extracts 10 %, Camellia seed oil 10 %, Tobacco extract 5 % and Tobacco extract 10 % (10.00 %) was significantly higher mortality than Camellia extracts 5 % and Kaffir lime oil 10 % (5.15 %), Kaffir lime oil 5 % (4.16 %), Camellia seed oil 5 % (2.86 %) and water (0.00 %), respectively. The results of second period demonstrated that mortality of the termite after 12 hours of spaying with Tobacco extract 10 % (7.32 %) was significantly higher mortality than Camellia extracts 10 % (6.51 %), Tobacco extract 5 % (4.15 %), Camellia seed oil 10 % (3.15 %), Camellia extracts 5 % (2.21 %), Kaffir lime oil 10 % (1.12 %), Camellia seed oil 5 % (0.43 %), Kaffir lime oil 5 % (0.33 %) and water (0.00 %), respectively. All pocedures were statistically different at the level of confidence (P < 0.05).
