Abstract
Poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae De Geer (Mesostigmata: Dermanyssidae), is an important pest of birds in avicultures and it is an economic, hygienic and epidemiologic problem in the poultry industry. Uses of botanical pesticides are good and safe alternatives instead of chemical compounds. In the present study acaricidal and repellency activities of Conocarpus erectus , Portulaca oleracea and Pistacia atlantica extracts were evaluated against D. gallinae by calculation LC 50 value and repellency index of each herbal extract in laboratory conditions and were compared with abamectin (a conventional chemical acaricide). However, all herbal extracts had less toxicity against the mite than abamectin. Aquatic and ethanolic extracts of C. erectus exhibited repellent for D. gallinae. The repellency effect was not observed in P. oleracea and P. atlantica extracts. Therefore, based on this experiment, it could be concluded that the aquatic and ethanolic extracts of C. erectus can be used as a safe botanical acaricide and repellent compound for control of D. gallinae in avicultures.
家禽红螨(Dermanyssus gallinae De Geer)是家禽养殖中重要的鸟类害虫,是家禽业的一个经济、卫生和流行病学问题。使用植物性杀虫剂是一种良好而安全的化合物替代品。在实验室条件下,通过计算各提取物的LC 50值和驱避指数,评价了直立木、马齿苋和阿斯特拉木提取物对鸡盲蝽的杀螨和驱避活性,并与常规化学杀螨剂阿维菌素进行比较。然而,所有草药提取物对螨虫的毒性都低于阿维菌素。直立木的水提取物和乙醇提取物对鸡直纹夜蛾均有驱避作用。马齿苋和大西洋草提取物均无驱避作用。综上所述,直立木水提物和醇提物可作为一种安全的植物性杀螨剂和驱避剂,防治鸡鸡粉虱。
