Abstract
A study on food preference for the confused flour beetle, Tribolium
confusum, in relation to insect development on some selected food groups:
seeds, flour, spices, nuts and medicinal plants showed significant statistical
differences (P<0.01). Fourteen prefered diets and ten medicinal plants and
seed mixtures were tested for their effect on the development and survival of
the confused flour beetle. The results revealed significant statistical
differences (P<0.01) for the repellency, deterrents of feeding and mortality
effects on adult Tribolium confusum mainly for Mint, Cloves, Rue,
Rosemary, Cinammon, Thyme, Fenugreek and Eucalyptus; which encouraged their
incorporation as natural control sources for the integrated control of the
confused flour beetle as a part of stored food products. |
