Abstract

Control Storehouse pest insects is the main objectives of agricultural products, manufacturers, exporters and consumers by maintaining the quality and quantity of products around the world. In this research, two environmentally compatible compounds namely Acetone and Carbon dioxide were evaluated for their efficacy in the control of Plodia interpunctella, under laboratory conditions. LC25 and LC50 values for Acetone and Carbon dioxide treatments on third instar larva insect were 56.32 and 68.31 μlL-1, 7.78 and 15.38 mgL-1 respectively. To evaluate the combined effects an experiment was conducted in the form of completely randomized design with 4 treatments including LC50 (Ac), LC50 (CO2), LC25 (Ac) plus LC25 (CO2), and control. The results showed that percentage mortality combination two environmentally compatible compounds treatments on third instar larva insect in 24h was 75 percent compared with Acetone and Carbon dioxide alone and control have significant differences And good addi
