  • BACKGROUND: Botanical insecticides, especially Azadirachta Indica extract (AIE) and Sophorae radix extract (SRE) are widely used in Agriculture field. In our previous studies on genotoxicity test of AIE and SRE samples, a suspicious clastogenic properties was shown. Herein, we investigated the DNA damage effect of these botanical insecticide samples through the in vitro comet assay. METHODS AND RESULTS: Chinese hamster lung (CHL) fibroblast cell line was used, and methyl methanesulphonate was as positive control. Respective two samples of AIE and SRE were evaluated using Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis (Comet) assay and measured as the Olive tail moment (OTM). Results from this study indicated that all tested AIE and SRE samples did not show DNA damage in comet assay using CHL cells, compared with control. CONCLUSION: AIE and SRE samples used in this study were not cause genetic toxicity and are suitable for use as organic materials.

  • In view of the environmental and health hazards posed by synthetic insecticides, the use of plant products as botanical insecticides has gained increasing in recent years. In this study, we reported the insecticidal activity of extracts isolated from Coptis chinensis. On crude extraction, among the various solvent types tested (water, 1% (w/v) of sodium hydroxide, 70% ethanol), the 70% ethanol extract showed the best insecticidal activity (36.5%). Three different fractions (n-hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate) were obtained from crude extract (70% ethanol) of the chloroform fraction and found to have noteworthy insecticidal activity (62.9%) by filter paper contact bioassay. Their chemical structures were identified as 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol and aniline by head space-GC-MS analysis. Both compounds displayed a dose-dependent insecticidal activity of Myzus persicae (Sulzer). Insecticidal activity at the lowest concentration tested (500 ppm) approached 85.4% in the aniline compared with 79.9% in the 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol. The insecticidal activity was greater for the aniline than 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol. It is believed that the insecticidal activity is due mainly to the presence of aniline.

  • 식물추출물은 작물 해충에 대해 기피, 섭식저해, 해충 효소활성억제 활성을 가지고 있어 해충 방제제로 활용되고 있다. 응애는 원예작물에 심각한 피해를 주고 있고, 실제 포장에서 방제 방법도 화학적 살비제를 이용하고 있지만 효과적이지 않다. 포장에서 응애 방제가 어려운 이유는 짧은 세대수, 많은 산란수와 번식력 등으로 인해 약제저항성 개체가 증가하는 것이 원인이다. 친환경자재로 님, 멀구슬, 제충국, 고삼 추출물을 함유한 제품들이 개발되고 포장에서 살비제로 활용되고 있다. 이들 추출물은 천적에 대한 낮은 독성으로 식물추출물과 천적을 동시에 사용하여 응애의 종합 방제에 활용될 수 있는 장점이 있다. 많은 이들 식물추출물의 해충 방제에 대한 리뷰가 있지만, 포장에서 효율적인 이들 추출물의 종합적인 측면에서 활용이나, 응애별 살충 스펙트럼, 반수 치사농도와 치사시간, 살충기작별로 응애 생활사에 영향을 미치는 종합적인 리뷰는 제한적이다. 본 리뷰는 이들 식물추출물을 포장에서 효율적으로 활용 가능한 식물추출물별 사용 가능 시기, 방법, 응애 생활사, 천적 활용 등의 종합적인 응애 방제를 목표로 하였다.

  • The present study was developed in order to evaluate the effect of five essential oils on the workers of the leaf-cutting ants; Atta sexdens rubropilosa and Acromyrmex subterraneus molestans by contact with a treated surface and ingestion with a treated leaves.. The essential oils of cinnamon, clove and mustard had generally more effective with 5, 10 and 15% concentrations after 24, 48, 72 and 96 h against workers of A. sexdens rubropilosa and A. subterraneus molestans in contact bioassay, but mustard was the most effective in ingestion bioassay on both species. On the other hand, there was no significant difference among the essential oils with 1% concentration and control after 24, 48 and 72 h of treatment in contact and ingestion bioassays against workers of A. sexdens rubropilosa . However, Andiroba oil had less efficiency values in all concentrations been used. Therefore, the essential oils of mustard, cinnamon and clove have contact and ingestion effects on workers of A. sexdens rubropilosa and A. subterraneus molestans, and may be promising on the leaf-cutting ant control.

  • Mimosa pudica (미모사), Argemone mexicana (멕시코 가시양귀비) Leucus aspara (꿀풀과 일종), Polygonum hydropiper (여뀌), Blumea lacera (국화과 일종) 등 5종의 식물 헥산추출물들의 팥바구미 성충에 대한 살충, 성충우화억제력 및 녹두 종실피해 방제력이 검증되었다. 그 결과, 밭바구미 성충 살충력은 35-69%이었으며, 녹두에 추출물을 처리한 후 성충우화 방제율은 33-63%, 종실 피해 방제율은 13-49%이었다. 추출물의 농도가 증가할수록 살충력, 성충우화 및 종실피해 방제율 등이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 5종의 식물 헥산추출물들은 밭바구미 친환경 방제제로 이용가능성이 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • Sitophilus oryzae L. (Rice Weevil) is a stored pest of rice that causes extensive loss throughout the world. We tested the leaf powders of 12 plant species viz., Chrysanthemum sp., Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Citrus grandis, Citrus limon, Gliricidia sepium, Gymnema sylvestre, Hemigraphis colorata, Michelia champaca, Moringa oleifera, Murraya koenigii, Polyalthia longifolia, and Sauropus androgynus at dosages of 1.00, 1.50, 2.00 and 3.00g against the adult rice weevil and mortality was recorded at 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 12 and 2l days after treatment (DAT) by direct contact toxicity for their adulticidal effect. We observed 100 percent adult mortality in C. zevlanicum and M. koenigii among the tested leaf powders. In addition, the first-time tested H. colorata and S. androgynus also caused high mortality compared to other plants. All the plant powders caused moderate to high adult mortality. Hence, these plants could be effective botanical insecticides against S. oryzae as they comprise a potential source of bioactive chemicals and are generally free from toxicants. Applications of these natural derivatives in S. oryzae control could reduce the cost of control methods and storage of rice contamination. Therefore, the present study indicates that some plant extracts can be used as an alternative to toxic synthetic chemicals in the management of rice weevils.

  • 본 연구에서는 식물정유 124종과 6종의 분무제형(SF-0.25, 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5 및 10% sprays)을 대상으로 미국선녀벌레 약충과 성충에 대한 독성을 평가 하였다. 약충에 대한 실험은 1,000 mg/L와 500 mg/L로 실시 하였으며, 엽침지법을 사용하였다. 미국선녀벌레 약충에 대한 124종의 식물정유의 살충성을 스크리닝한 결과, 64종의 식물정유가 60% 이상의 사충률을 보였고, 이 중 19종의 식물정유는 100%의 사충률을 보였다. 일차 활성이 좋은 식물정유를 500 mg/L로 검정한 결과 cinnamon technical, cinnamon green leaf, cinnamon #500, cassia tree, citronella java 및 pennyroyal oil이 100%의 살충활성을 나타냈고, origanum, thyme white, grapefruit, savory, fennel sweet, aniseed 및 cinnamon bark oil 순으로 93.3%에서 80%까지 높은 살충활성을 보였다. Thyme red, tagetes, calamus, lemon eucalyptus, geranium oil은 73.3%에서 60% 정도의 살충활성을 보였다. 이중 100%의 높은 살충활성을 보인 정유 12종을 6농도의 분무제형으로 미국선녀벌레 성충에 대한 살충활성을 검정한 결과, cinnamon technical oil이 SF-0.5의 제형에서 100%의 살충활성을 보였으며, cinnamon #500, cinnamon green leaf, pennyroyal oil은 SF-2.5에서 100%의 살충활성을 보였다. 농업환경에서 고독성 합성살충제의 사용을 줄일 수 있는 방안으로 본 논문에서 선발한 식물정유가 미국선녀벌레의 약충 및 성충 방제에 유용한 수단으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
