Abstract

Environment-friendly agro-materials tend to be preferred to chemical insecticides recently. For this reason, many studies were conducted to develop environment-friendly insecticides containing natural materials. The purpose of this study was to assess ecotoxicity for 5 plant essential oils (Thyme white, Clove bud, Cassia, Lavender, Lemon eucalyptus) expected to prevent from pests and be used for agro-materials. Target species used to assess acute toxicity were aquatic invertebrate (Daphina magna), fish (Oryzias latipes), honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) and earthworm (Eisenia fetida). The EC50 value, toxicological responses of thyme white, clove bud, and cassia to Daphina magna were 2.5, 2.8, and $6.9mg\;L^{-1}$ respectively and these values were moderately toxic according to standard of USEPA. $EC_{50}$ of Lavender and lemon eucalyptus were >$10mg\;L^{-1}$ then they were considered as slightly toxicity. In case of acute toxicity test to fish, $LC_{50}$ of thyme white and cassia were 6.7 and $7.5mg\;L^{-1}$ each other. The other plant essential oils indicated $LC_{50}$ >$10mg\;L^{-1}$. Acute contact and oral toxicity test to Honeybee were conducted. As a result, $LD_{50}$ of all essential oils were >$100{\mu}g$ a.i. $bee^{-1}$ in both of tests. In case of acute toxicity test to earthworm, $LC_{50}$ of thyme white, clove bud, cassia, lavender, and lemon eucalyptus were 149, 230, 743, 234, and $635mg\;kg^{-1}$, respectively. In conclusion, if the safety for earthworm is confirmed, 5 plant essential oils are expected to be use for environment-friendly insecticide materials with low risk against ecosystem and contribute to developing environment-friendly agro-materials.

최근에는 화학적 살충소재 보다 친환경적인 살충소재를 선호하여 천연물질을 함유한 친환경 살충제의 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 해충 방제에 이용할 수 있는 친환경 농자재인 식물정유(싸임화이트, 클로브버드, 계피, 라벤더, 레몬유칼립투스)의 생태독성을 평가하는 것이다. 생태독성 평가로 물벼룩(Daphina magna), 송사리(Oryzias latipes), 꿀벌(Apis mellifera L.), 지렁이(Eisenia fetida)를 이용하였다. 물벼룩급성독성시험의 경우, 싸임화이트, 클로브버드, 계피 정유의 $EC_{50}$ 값은 각각 2.5, 2.8, $6.9mg\;L^{-1}$로 EPA 기준으로 보통독성정도이었고, 라벤더, 레몬유칼립투스 정유는 $10mg\;L^{-1}$ 이상이었다. 송사리급성독성 시험의 경우, 싸임화이트와 계피 정유의 $LC_{50}$ 값이 6.7, $7.5mg\;L^{-1}$으로 나타났으며 나머지 정유는 모두 $10mg\;L^{-1}$으로 확인되었다. 꿀벌급성독성시험은 접촉과 섭식 시험으로 나누어서 실시하였고, 모든 정유의 $LD_{50}$ 값이 $100{\mu}g$ a.i $bee^{-1}$ 이상으로 확인되었다. 지렁이급성독성시험의 경우, 싸임화이트, 클로브버드, 계피, 라벤더, 레몬유칼립투스의 $LC_{50}$ 값이 각각 149, 230, 743, 234, $635mg\;kg^{-1}$로 나타났다. 결과적으로 식물 정유들의 지렁이급성독성에 대한 안전성이 확인될 경우 환경에 대한 안전성이 확보된 친환경 살충소재로서의 활용 가능성이 예상되며, 친환경 농자재 생산에 기여할 것으로 사료된다.
