Abstract

Wheat and barley are the most important stored products and the pests, for example Trogoderma granarium and Tribolium spp., are serious problems for these products. The resistance of insects, in particular stored product pests to chemical insecticides such as phosphin and malathion, caused that a lot of research accomplished about natural, physiological, biological and microbial control. Eucalyptus camaldulensis is an important tree which used for non-chemical control. In this research, the experiments accomplished on the insecticide and repellent property of eucalyptus seed and leaf powder. The experiments for insecticide property carried out at 8 treatments and 4 replications. The results of this research showed that the LC50 of eucalyptus seed powder for Trogoderma granarium and Tribolium spp. was 5.98 and 5.63 gr/100gr. So the LC50 of eucalyptus leaf powder for Trogoderma granarium and Tribolium spp. was 6.86 and 6.35 gr/100gr. The experiments for repellent property carried out at 3 treatments and 4 replications. The results of this research indicated that the repellent property of eucalyptus seed powder for Trogoderma granarium and Tribolium spp. was 67 and 75 percent. So the repellent property of eucalyptus leaf powder for Trogoderma granarium and Tribolium spp. was 50 and 65 percent.
