Abstract

In this experiment, the joint action of crude pungam oil and a conventional insecticide monocrotophos was evaluated against Pericallia recini (Fab.) (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) third stadium larvae and red cotton bug Dydercus cingulatus (Fab.) (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae) adults under laboratory conditions. Monocrotophos and pungam oil were blended in 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4 and 5:5 proportions and used for the bioassay. Dose-dependent mortality was not observed in the tested insects. Dysdercus cingulatus males showed higher resistance than females. Between two insect pests, lepidopteron larvae showed more resistance than hemipteran adults. Synergistic effects of monocrotophos with pungam oil were calculated by means of Sun’s Co-toxicity Coefficients (CTC) and Finney’s Synergistic Coefficient (SC), were recorded independent and antagonistic actions respectively. In conclusion, the pesticide was found to act additively with pungam oil under in vitro tested conditions.
