| Abstract | ||
| Allyl disulfide, a major constituent of the essential oil garlic, Allium sativum, was tested against Callosobruchus chinensis (L.), c. maculatus (F.), Tribolium castaneum (Hbst.) and Sitophilus oryzae (L.) for fumigant and contact toxicity. The study revealed that allyl disulfide was more toxic to C. chinesis than the other insects in both fumigant and contact toxicity. The LeSO values of fumigant toxicity were 0.64, 0.63, 0.46 and 3. 75IJULair for C. chinensis, T.castaneum and S. oryzae, respectively. As for the contact toxicity, which was performed using topical application, the LOSO values were 22.1, 22.8, 24.2 and 94.0 ppm linsect for C. chinen sis, C. maculatus, T.castaneum and S. oryzae, respectively. | ||
